Deleting/resizing widgets

Seems like there are a lot of widgets that take up a lot of space on the screen. I am a minimalist and like it as empty, streamlined, and functional as possible. I would like the option to toggle the map on and off, minimize the chat window, hide the current level/rank bar, etc. Seems like right now we're stuck with so much on the screen and all we can do is pull it all to the edges and pretend they are not there. It's annoying.

lol. Try playing an MMO that allows third party add-ons, then complain about screen clutter. I've actually found (regardless of it's flaws) FF14 to be one of the cleaner UIs I've come across for an MMO, but I agree with your ideas and think implementing them would be beneficial to all players.
