First off, I'd like to suggest we create a thread specifically for issues in-game. I've noticed that the feedback areas you currently have states "This forum was introduced to give players a centralized location to comment on English-related issues found within the Lodestone, and all other official websites," making it sound as if it's not officially a way for us to comment, receive assistance, or obtain new information about in-game issues.
Secondly, I'd like to know what we need to do for Square Enix and all involved to pick up the slack so as to make the game more enjoyable. All realms are plagued with gil seller spam that never seems to stop, not matter how many accounts SE claims to have frozen. One of the biggest nuisances to me in this regard is that people I have blacklisted still have their messages show up in my chat screen. Essentially the chat filter is not solid enough to let the blacklist do what it should be doing. It does greatly reduce the number of shouts but it is annoying when they start slipping through.
I'd also like to propose a place, whether part of the forum I mentioned earlier or as a different part of this website, where we can provide feedback on GM when they've assisted us. They told me to come here to leave feedback but I couldn't find a place that seemed like it belonged.
Sorry for the multiple posts for this. Unfortunately it doesn't let you say much per post...might be another thing y'all should consider changing.
Other than that, I'd like to see a way to help Free Company find new recruits and vice-versa. I noticed that when I go to modify what ranks of my FC can do there's a box that can't be checked that is labeled "Approve New Members"....not sure if y'all have plans in the future to let people apply to a Free Company, if it's supposed to be a feature in existence now that is broken, or what.
Can't create another thread, so will post even more here I suppose.
Might it be possible to let some classes queue as different roles? It feels to me that at least some of the classes could have multiple roles in dungeons. One example is Scholar, which can be a healer or a dps. I know that, in the example given, one could remove the stone to become an arcanist but there's more to it. When I think back to when I played Final Fantasy XI, we formed groups with dps, heals, and a support class. Groups were rarely ever complete, at least not when I played, without a Red Mage or Bard. We'd have the one class to enfeeble mobs , add buffs to members of the party, and back-up heal. I see potential for Scholar to be similar to what Red Mage was, at least to an extent, by being a class that casts damage over time abilities and using the support type fairy to improve the overall damage of the party. There is also great potential for many other classes to perform multiple roles as well.
Lastly, I don't want this to be strictly a post of complaints and recommendations. Please know that we all realize that Square Enix, it's employees, and any other companies and people who may be involved in keeping the game running smoothly are doing their best. Your work is greatly appreciated. Hopefully y'all can get things caught up to where we can enjoy the game in peace from all of this spam in chat logs.
One thing I would like to suggest is including the option to increase the font size for the chat bubble displayed during interactions with NPCs and during cutscenes. Or allow it to be scaled/resized like the other UI elements. The font is very small in 1080 resolution and strains the eyes.
The chat bubbles displayed when passing some characters in the world are also so tiny that reading them is almost impossible without straining.
