UI features which are lacking.
I have played this game since 1.0 but I still feel that some of the UI is lacking or just not providing the best experience possible. I wanted to list a couple of the issues I've been having to potentially see if they are common problems, or if others have found decent work-arounds to them.
1. Tab targeting feels a bit clunky at times targeting mobs that not one of my spells could possibly reach.
2. The enemy list only shows 8 mobs. I am a tank, there are more adds than this in CM on the 2nd boss. I probably have a better chance waiting for addons to come out for this one I think.
3. Only 5 buffs/debuffs are displayed on raid members at any given time. Again, I think addons may solve this but this is terrible as a healer.
4. The threat meter is very small, not intuitive, and hard to use even in conjunction with the enemy list.

Since I'm too "low level" to start a new thread, despite being a 1.0 user who has been in the original beta.... I have to hijack someone else's thread. Great idea there Square-Enix... :(

My actual question is .... Can we *PLEASE* have a way to store our UI (including armory clothing sets!) on the server, so we can play on the PC and the PS3 without having to totally redo half our settings every time we switch platforms?

I got the PS3 version, hoping I'd be able to sit back and do some relaxing crafting/harvesting on the couch, while using the higher resolution monitor and keyboard/mouse setup on the PC for running dungeons. There's nothing stopping me from doing this, except the fact that I have to redo ALL my changes on each platform, because they're all saved to local files, instead of on the server where they could/should be.

That wouldn't be THAT bad if there was an option to hide other player's buffs. Everyone has two or more self buffs, plus protect, so it feels hella clunky.

Also, hide buffs with duration times higher than 5/10/15 minutes.
