Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

[Jinko]

Completing quests at max level. XP should be converted to gold or something else which is useful at level 50.

This, although I would prefer if the XP could be given to a different class of your choosing.

-Being able to tell what crystals you haven't attuned without having to click them. (sometimes it's obvious when you get to a new area but if you forget to attune on arrival...)

What would be cool is if you could make the aerthrytes red or a dull grey before being attuned.

Add an option to the settings for automatic gear set updating.

Increase XP of Dungeons and award company seals for completion. Nerf fates to where Dungeons are worth more for the risk = reward. Right now everyone just sits in one zone and zergs down Fates while dungeons aren't even used.

Also needed: A more functional trading post where you can see the prices and sell your items without having to go back and forth from your retainer to the TP.

You don't have to return to the market boards to check prices, you can do that from within the sell item interface (by this I'm referring to the box that comes up asking how many you want to sell of the selected item and how much you want to sell them for) when you're telling your retainer to sell something. You can find a button somewhere near the top of that interface and it'll bring up the market board entry for that item. From there, you can check current prices and past sale prices.

Good luck.

Not sure if it has been brought up somewhere in the 29 pages so far, but I would really like some sort of indicator to let me know if something in my Armory Chest is being equipped by one of my other classes.

The game can see that "Not all items are available" (or something along those lines) when I change to a class whose equipment is no longer all available, but nothing to keep that from happening.

These are all great suggestions!

Add more quests at every level from about 35 until 50.

Double (at least) the amount of bonus experience rewarded from battlecraft leves. Currently they aren't worth doing as they're worth 2/3 a FATE of the same level.

Controller Mapping
The ability to freely map controller buttons would be wonderful.

Currently, for example, lock/unlock target can only be mapped to either of the two thumbstick buttons, and not to any others.

I don't quite understand why this shouldn't be mappable to any of the available buttons on a controller.

Cross Hotbar UI
I like the cross hotbar. Its great for PS3 players, and people like myself who use a controller on PC. Switching between cross hotbar sets mid-combat could be improved upon if when quick-swapping sets by single clicking the set swap button it only cycled through bars that were NOT set as shared.

This way, you can set it so that when quick-swapping sets you only toggle between cross hotbars with actions relevant to your current class with a single button press, and can still select shared hotbars by holding the switch sets button and selecting the corresponding set from the popup menu.

Targeting using a Controller
I've noticed that when clicking the target button, the UI seems to select targets based on the direction your character is facing. At times while trying to target the retainer bell in Ul'dah, for example, I often end up targeting an NPC off to the left or right of my field of view even when the bell is dead center and closer to my character, just because my character wasn't facing the same direction as my camera.

By basing target selection on the direction the camera is facing instead, it would make selecting the target you want a lot easier when using a controller.

Put a yalm indicator to the right of the monster name on the target selection HUD Element (As well as player names.)

Disconnected from Server
This is one that's been plaguing me, especially with how difficult it's been to log in. Several times I've just been randomly disconnected from the server. I'm not AFK, I don't lag beforehand, just going along my merry way and suddenly the screen goes black and I have a popup saying I lost connection to the server. When trying to immediately log back in, it says I'm already logged in and will have to log out first.

My suggestion, then, is that in the event someone is unexpectedly disconnected, if they attempt to log back in immediately after, and the server recognizes them as already logged in, it should allow them to bypass any login queue immediately and resume whatever activity they were in the middle of.

I've even lost several HQ crafting materials because this has happened to me mid-synthesis, and have had to redo quests because this has happened during quest instances.
