Do you think the new Currency window is inconvenient?

Have talked with friends and all of them said it is inconvenient, would like to know what do you think about this. Thanks. ^^;

This will take me a while to get used to. I am still so much in the habit of opening 'Character' the see the currency tab.

I actually like it, I just need to get used to it but its nice to just have to click on it instead of opening my 'character'

It's extremely annoying. Who said "Oh gee, I sure do hate having all of my ingame currencies listed in one convenient tab along with my attributes and so forth"? It's a stupid change, and I want them to undo it or at least let us revert it to being a tab in the character menu as an option.

Agreed. However I'm now under the impression there's going to be more currency tabs later or they will eventually add a different tab where it use to be.

Yes, I think it's inconvenient but somehow I've already grown used to so it doesn't really bother me.

Not sure what the point of moving it was though.

I'm with ryuroots here. I used to just hit C and open my character and see all the currencies on one screen because that menu remembered the last tan you were on. Now I have to cycle through the currency menu every single time I need to see if I have enough law or I'm gc capped.

I think one thread would have been enough, Nicobo, but I'll post my 2 cents here instead xD

I play on PC and it's one of the few things that REALLY bother me about HW (and it seems to be even worse for console players).
I know there is a lot more currency by now to fit into the window, but considering how much information is displayed in the stat tab of the player information window, it shouldn't be a problem to display all currencies in one tab in the player information window.
It was my default window, and now I have to waste another hotkey on currencies AND have to switch through several tabs IN the currency window to see every single type. It seems minor, but the amount of time wasted and useless clicking around sums up and bothers me more and more instead of getting used to it :/

I really disliked it to begin with but have grown accustomed to it. Still use to pressing 'C' time to time but placed the new menu under 'Alt+C' so that it remains on the same key. :)

change is always strange and disconcerting at first but i'd bet by next month at most you and yours will completely have forgotten about your issues with it

It'd be less inconvenient if the battle tab were the default one. It's nice that it saves your tab while you're logged in but if I log out, log in, and want to check tomes or seals (the only things I ever use the tab for) it's an extra click that's vaguely annoying. My gil is already visible in the lower right, and my company seals and MGP are things I don't really worry about over capping, in the former because they mostly come from turn ins that show me how many I have in the window anyway, and in the latter because I'll never overcap.

Really, though, it's about as quick as it used to be. Ctrl+C instead of C, then click the tab you want.

yes and no,
its going to take time getting use to i mean since early access I've been hitting character when i was trying to check my currency
but its something that CAN be gotten use to.

i would actually like to see more options for currency to be displayed at the bottom right of my screen.

[500(l)][25(s)][999(g)]

I don't think it's any better or worse, just different.

I would rather it be a tab in the character window, or at least all be in one pane, not multiple tabs within a window, but I can live with it.

I don't like that it's not where I'm used to finding it, or that it's split up into 3 different tabs. I rate it as mildly annoying.

I'd just like them to stop changing things that aren't broken in the first place. "smart unaway", moving things around in the menu, adding a drag function to right click, stuff like that is really not necessary nor requested features while other things... BIG things... remain completely broken and inaccessible to the playerbase.

I'm sure they didn't just do this for no reason. There was starting to get to be a bit too much stuff to fit in there and they wanted a way to further sub-divide the currencies. FFXI added something like this a while back (actually added it though, not just moved it somewhere else), and that game sorely needed it. It has so many different kinds of "currency" that there's actually two separate currency menus just to list it all >_>

I'm just glad they had the forethought to stick MGP in there. My biggest gripe before the patch was the fact that I had to go into a separate thingy just to check it when I expected to see it on the currencies tab.

I personally like the change. It's much easier to just click on the currency display to open the new window than it was to open the character window and switch to the correct tab.

I can only imagine the people that don't like it simply aren't used to it yet.

I find it silly that they made the currency tab pop up with a left click, so now I have to try to get used to cycling through gil > seals > MGP with right clicking.

Adding my vote to hating the change.

Yes, yes I do, I'd rather have it on a tab in my char profile somewhere. The currencies weren't even that obtrusive in the first place tbh.

my problem is that it splitted into 2 tabs and the currencies I want to see the most are on the second tab.

We need to have an option of weather or not we want it in the character tab or in a separate window.

Its confusing since I had a KB shortcut for the character windows and am used to accessing it through there, but its not a big issue. I hardly access it. While leveling I had my company seals maxed out and wouldnt have noticed if I didnt see the message on my chat window.

Yeah I can sort of see where OP is coming from, though I'm pretty adaptable to changes like that, I did think to myself it would be nice to have the option to either have currency listed in Character tab, or change to currency menu... my other thought was "now if they can implement extra inventory for currency, why not a tackle box for bait? Or add extra menu to the new currency menu for bait?". It's not a big deal, I just get out what I need when I go fishing but would be handy to have!

Well, of course it wouldn't have been obtrusive at first, because at first we didn't (still don't) have many currencies. It was moved so they could divide it into tabs where there would be room to add more, putting in stuff that doesn't exist yet. (So far, Law tomes just replaced the Soldiery ones for no change in the number. Esoterics is the only new addition I've heard about coming, but presumably there are going to be other things as well, since just one more wouldn't have necessitated this window change.)

Personally, I'm hoping this portends a change of a lot of our currency-like items becoming listed as actual currencies instead.

I find it extremely annoying, i'm so use to having it in my character panel. And whats with them making such a small windows with so many tabs. They should have just put all the information in one big window.

Probably one of the worst changes in expansion IMO.

I like the new tab. Although I never really got used to it being in the character window since I haven't been playing for that long.

I think its fine as is, as far as "having to add a new item to hot-bar" Why, all you got to do is click on it, to open it down in the bottom right. Anyways, I'm fine with it as i said, but one thing I've been asking for a long while is this. If we can add certain currencies down there, why can't we add them all? I'd love to have it up on other ones such as Poetic tomes, or the other new tomes, or allied seals. Put all the currency down there, so i can toggle to it when I'm farming that particular item.

Yes, I want it back in the character window. I can't think of a reason why they made it separate like that.

Yes it is currently annoying fighting muscle memory to check the currencies, but we will quickly get used to it over the next few months.

One thing to remember is that the was added in preparation for the future. 3 more currencies are being added in just over 3 weeks.

Beast tribes will also likely have their own currency and this was added so that they will have room in a window instead of clogging up your inventory with 2+ types of Oaknots.

Very annoying, change it back please..don't try fix what isn't broken

Took me a day to adjust muscle memory, perfectly fine with it.
Also perfectly fine if they cave and change it back.

Personally, to quote a junk dealer Toydarian named Watto: it makes little difference.

i am in agreeance,

sure they may want to add in more currency but when you have it in such a easily viewable manner for nearly 2 years then suddenly change it your going to have people un happy about it, especially since currently there is nothing new about the currency's besides one new seals and tombstone, and those tabs could easily fit on the character menu, seeing how the new currency is the same size as the area it was on before :c

It's better in the character tab.

It's much better this way. You are just still used to the old window.

I just wish there was some way to move these UI elements off the screen, to a second monitor.

Eh, I'm not a big fan of it. It just seems a bit unnecessary to me, especially since we only have one new currency added (I won't count Law, as the actual space occupied by Tomestones is the same).

I would dislike it less if I didn't have to click on another tab to see the most relevant currency (tomes)

personally yesh i do... used to be conviently all on 1 tab to see how much of everything we had :(
