Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Hello everyone!

We've been sending all your requests to the development team, and I'd like to respond to what we can at the moment.

-Allow users to input text in the chatbox for items and map markers that others can click and view.

The development team definitely understands the need for this and is currently looking into implementing this.

-Add a single click way to add the maximum amount of an item for vendors, banks, etc. rather than manually typing the exact number.

The team is currently looking into making this process easier.

We'll continue to provide responses as we get them!

I just wanted to point out that this was already possible.

If you look at the box asking for a number, beside said number are plus and minus signs. Clicking once on the minus sign when it's already on one will loop around to the highest possible number. For example, it you have a stack of 63 and the number is currently set to 1, pressing the minus button will change that number to 63.

I found dragging a stack to the selling section asks you to set a price (market) or sells all (merchant) so its already there.

Actually, what I was referring to was a single click method referred to in the quoted post. It also covers things like claiming all the gil from your retainer (by hitting the minus button once) and selecting how many quick synths you want to do in a row and anything/everything else that asks for a number while having a maximum. Also, I find dragging to be more cumbersome than a single click.

But yes, dragging stacks does work with some things.

It would be nice if there were a means to sort a specific armory view (i.e. head, body, weapon, etc.) so it could be ordered by level, or job, or even just closing up the empty spaces would be helpful for identifying new drops in your inventory.

I want you guys to know that when you do install the idle timer that people will make a macro to move X amount of minutes right before the timer goes off so that they can stay logged in. You can combat this action by running or making a program that watches for the same actions over and over. For example: If someone makes a macro to move every 15 minutes when the idle timer is 20 minutes they move on 15 everytime and your program will know this, or if they just go random like 5 they move 10 minute they move 15 minute they move etc. This is a pattern, make the program to recognize pattern based attempts. Just a big big big suggestion!

In FFXI Bot fishing got so bad that GMs would send you a tell and if you didn't answer within a few mins or so you would get banned. All it will take is an auto log off in your Inn even if you are mashing buttons or getting stuff out of your chest cause I know that's where everyone will try to afk at cause no one can see them. So 20-30mins auto log off when your in the Inn no matter what. And then if you happen to see someone AFK that is in the same spot jumping or running into a wall then a GM call can be placed and they can take action and disconnect them. I'll admit some times I need to AFK cook dinner, clean, get my kid off the bus nothing that takes more than 10-15mins and if I need to run to town I just log out. But all the people saying I'm staying logged in while I'm at school, work or sleeping ever thought that if other people had a chance to get on and play do what they want get tired or has to go to work or school would have got their time in and would be happy and maybe we wouldn't have all these server issues.

Silly Camate, you already said this last time, and I already said this was already in game so there isn't really an easier way to do a single click LOL

Ack! You're right! Sorry about that. I didn't think I informed you all on that already. ><

We're still following up with the development team about various other feedback in this thread, and when we receive word back we'll be sure to share!
