All the little FFXIV annoyances, what are yours?

I play with a friend, we're both dps. When we sign on every day, we have to split up to do our duty roulette, which wait time/dungeon will usually take over an hour. So if we only have 1 - 2 hours that day, we pretty much can't play together.

People calling it Mana, it's called MP people...

Now something like that doesn't bother me. It's pretty interchangeable since so many different games use different lingo for that same resource bar. MP, Mana, Mana Points, Magic Points, Magic Power, etc. I usually try to correct myself with the appropriate names for each game but most people play other games as well and/or can completely figure out what I'm saying.

A tank once said taunt it, and i kept dpsing and he started spamming and i didn't understand at all then he started calling me names for no taunting the mob, i went ahead and asked wth is taunt and he stood there quiet then told me and i was like oh, i never played wow so you where just shouting me random stuff.

Don't use other game terms even if its ff11 expecting for everyone to know what it is.

DPS usually being the last to ready up in DF. You would think with the wait times DPS would be the first ones to hit ready but for some reason they take their sweet time.

With the wait times, DPS are more likely to be doing something else, anything else, while they're waiting. Fishing, crafting, gathering, or even just finishing up a fight, TT match, or cutscene from an different quest. Healers and tanks don't lose a lot if they just sit for the usually short wait, but a DPS generally can't afford to just sit and do nothing, hoping the queue pops.

And I still get annoyed that my fishing rod doesn't have a line.

Mine's really more story related but...

*Our character's pretty much doing nothing dynamic in cut scenes.

I would love if we actually locked swords/weapons with a big bad or something. Instead we're pretty much a glorified errand boy, our max gear might as well be a maid suit~ (not that I wouldn't mind tbh)

That's my only complaint that comes to mind.

Well thanks both! :cool:
I've never seen any indication in the HUD editor to allow resizing of anything, just moving them wherever. I will check this out asap once we can get in game again!

Long queue times.
Not being able to queue with bird out.
Not being able to understand anyone in DF groups (Japan data center).

You can also resize elements that don't appear in the UI like character menu, fishing log, golden saucer menu, ect... the same way.
