Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

[Snip for length but talking about multiboxing, cheating and server congestion.]

I use an additional server slot for one character on one mule account for 2 minutes maybe once a week, not exactly locking everyone else out. Even that puts a huge strain on both my wallet and my PC so 5 or 8 accounts at once is ludicrous unless you're RMT'ing to make it financially sustainable. Botting has nothing to do with multiboxing and the exact same thing could be said about any single account player. You can't always tell the difference between a player and a bot but that doesn't mean they are a bot, they could simply not feel like chatting at that moment. Multiboxing does not mean RMT activity either.



Edit: Sorry for going off topic by the way, just trying to stop mis information from spreading.

I definitely support this. Being able to choose the desired Audio output is very much needed for those of us who want to separate game audio from chat audio output.

Actually my Realtek sound (on board) allows me to create different profiles and then I assign which profile to use in mumble. All Mumble is headset only and the game music plays through my speakers.

why i suggested the timed multiple choice quiz pop up on Afk users , or mass Reported bots .
Although you stated you login for few mins on mules to transfers is understandable , but there are users that do personally abuse this and do bot instead .
Just look for videos of groups of long range players bundle in various fields in one spot killing with slight intervals of casting .
I seen groups of dead players in the fields for a prolong period of time .
And not all multibox users are like yourself , some stay logged in to have Higher chance of playing one of many chars .

I personally see the idea of multiple registers keys under one account mainly for multiple systems ideally for family / groups that have only 1 credit card holder to be a lot easier to keep track of their salary spent.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but I'd like some sort of indication of exactly how far I am from my enemy.

The more I read this excellent thread, The more concerned I am that so many basic features are missing from a "AAA" MMO in 2013,

This coupled with the server issues, and shocking Customer service (600 page thread of post due to confusing Mog station code Input) leaves a troubled feeling in my mind about subscribing,

Back on topic, I would like :

The right click ignore function for the Gil sellers (an absolute must)
An auto sort function.
I also do not want to lose my place in duty finder queue because I summon my Chocobo.

Lets hope for the best, I am not so confident though

It sounds to me like a lot of you want World of Warcraft with a Final Fantasy backdrop.
Many of you have even brought your WoW forums attitudes, which I can't say I am happy to see although I expected it. I am really glad to see such a massive interest in FF and hope that many people find a place in the community here. I am nervous about such a huge influx of seemingly entitled players making "suggestions" which are little more than thinly veiled complaints. These forums are positively brimming with negativity, one-upsmanship, and insults. It is disheartening to see this under a "Final Fantasy" banner, and it is highly out of place.

Myself, I am thankful that SE made servers outside of Japan and has put forth the effort to appear interested in our input.

If you want this game to play like WoW, here is my suggestion: play WoW. Don't come here and try to "suggest" that the game immediately be changed in some way "becuz (what you want) is an mmo standard."

You seemed to have missed the fact the Mods/Devs ASKED for ideas in this thread, and commented how helpful it is.

If you click the crown on the left hand side it will show you the Mods input.

Text bubbles cause a lot more stress compared to logs. Unfortunately, we currently have no plans to implement this feature because of the impact on the hardware.

Really? Are you being serious? Stuff like this is making me consider not even bothering with this game. If your hardware and organization is that bad, I'd rather play every other MMORPG that supports simple things like this.
That this isn't in the game is beyond me. This is almost a must for MMORPGs, as it makes the chat VERY disorientating. And not even the fact that this specific thing doesn't work upsets me, but it worries me what other things won't work either.

Sorry if I seem aggressive or hostile, but I genuinely don't understand how this doesn't work while other MMOs easily support it.
And if PS3 is the reason, then all I have to say is: Wow. Again PC users get screwed over becaused of outdated consoles.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet (wasn't on the front page), but after playing the Arcanist and it's jobs quite extensively (lv 50, doing some lv 50 content), I feel the pet UI, or the pet integration needs a bit of an overhaul. Don't get me wrong, the AI for the most part is pretty solid, but actually controlling the pet, or using it effectively can feel like a chore at times. A few issues as I see them are:-

1. Pet AI using skills on cooldown. Is it possible to get make these so they can be toggled on/off for auto-cast?

2. The inability to integrate pet skills/behaviour into macros. The possibilities are endless here.

3. The inability to interact with your pet/use pet skills during character casts. Being unable to use a pet ability while you're casting seems illogical at best, and can be incredibly harsh/crippling at worse.

1. Bring Final Fantasy 11 notorious monsters system to this game so we can hunt a monster without people butting into the fight.

2.Let us be able to kill a mob with out a player butting into the fight. If you get stuck use the call for help option that was in FF 11.

3. Egy Summons should grow or when they do a special move to become there primal form. These just look like baby versions. No one will be happy to see an Odin Egy, Shiva Egy. Let us be able to summon Fenrir for him to be close to his real size like in FF 11 & to be able to mount him.

Beside these changes and way's to improve the game i am having a blast and can see this being the Only MMORPG game i will ever play.
