Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Hello,

We understand that there have been quite a few requests to make other chat channels make sounds when you receive messages. The development team has already implemented this feature on the development server and it will be possible to set sounds for party, linkshell, and free company chat individually. You can even set separate sounds for different linkshells!

This feature is slated for implementation in patch 2.1.

Thats great and all I suppose, but when will you allow us an option to make the chat background solid black!? There are quite a few environments where the current transparent BG makes its very difficult to read the chat, forcing me to find a dark corner or shadow before I can read what's being said.

I think that GW2 system is amazing, for that.
One click, solid black. Click again, completely transparent and lines disappear quite fast (so you get a cleaner and less clunky interface).

Yeah I've been considering going back to GW2 for a few weeks/months{until 2.1}, so many quality of life features already there that we have to absurdly beg SE to implement here is ridiculous! lawl

Yeah, most of the things in this list is just stuff you expect to find already in any new game which has evolved from 1999.

gw2 ui is so friendly overall, please SE i don't mind huge game size as long as everything feels friendly and awesome
btw, more suggestion from me

1. swimming, beautiful beach like costa del sol but we cant swim , just copy GW2 for swim feature !!
2. un-instanced zone (like wow) except for dungeon ofc.. because atm is just too much loading screen, i wish its possible to see loading screen only when we are teleporting
3. able to see how much we have some item stored in retainer, like if we have 20 bat fang and we store it at retainer then we get another bat fang and we move our cursor to that bat fang, it shows how much we have that item at our retainer
4. automatically use material stored at retainer
5. more macro line
6. add unique and secret things to every zone, i would love having jumping puzzle mixed with some question or ff lore or anything that make us use our brain
7. please MORE MORE monster skin, too much similiar skin and its somehow boring.. atleast make every dungeon boss looks unique (sasthasa just a random sahagin, halatali last boss = DD 2nd boss, Qarn 2nd boss some random usual golem, tamtara last boss = AK 1st boss etc.) i believe SE can make more unique monster skin not just simple recolour

i think thats what bugging me atm, please keep improving!

I like these points. Especially point 2. I feel that due to all the loading in between zones, you don't feel like you're in a large world at all.
What makes this even worse is the fact that these loading screens often skip entire parts in between zones.

For example, there's an exit in Limsa Lominsa where you see a bridge in front of you. Yet when you go through the dotted line indicating the end of the zone, you get a loading screen and all of a sudden you are standing at the other site of the bridge. What? Why can't I cross that bridge? I want to actually walk on it.

We need to be able to mail to our own alts, you know, the ones we are paying for. Or else an account retainer per server. In a modern mmorpg, actually in ANY mmorpg, this is an unbelieveable restriction.

The game actually used to be a persistent world with no loading zones except when you were entering/leaving cities or the market ward (which used to be a separate area completely). They changed it. I can't remember why, but I think it reduced the lag and allowed them to improve the graphics.
