Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

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.

We understand that this is a much needed feature and the development team is looking into a way to improve the chatbox background transparency in order to make text more legible. We have received your feedback requesting to make this system quick and simple to adjust.

As of right now, we are prioritizing the creation of new UI elements and adjustments, so we can't guarantee an implementation time yet. However, this is something we would like to improve upon so we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we can!

A much need adjustment that affects quality of life would actually be offering payment services that are functioning, and giving free service till you get it working. If the problem is so common you make a page on it under contacting SE then that should tell you something. many people are getting the 401 and 601 problem of all forms of payment being rejected all over the world. I live in the USA. I would like free service till you can get your payment services functional. I paid for the game. I want to play it.

And in what dream world are you living? Don't pay if you don't like the payment options that DO work. Not every option works for you thats too bad but one is bound to work if not well thats too bad too but to demand free service? why?

The elevator must not go to the top. They currently have NO payment options available that are working. Visa, MC, bank cards, all from different banks, 2 different paypal accounts. All of it is being denied on SE's end. This is a extremely common issue that SE has acknowledged is affecting many. I live in the USA too. It is SE's obligation to offer functioning payment services. If they can not do that at this time they should be offering monthly membership for free or giving out refunds to customers if they can't provide proper support for their game.

You are unable to buy crysta? I get prepaid Visa cards from coin change machines, and it accepts those. You sure you haven't tried buying crysta as opposed to trying to enter your credit card onto their system to keep for renewal?

Crysta isn't available in my region, all of my credit cards from MULTIPLE banks from MULTIPLE countries have been denied, and game time cards aren't available in the shops here. A lot of people are having these issues but you wouldn't know it unless you looked in the technical support forum. I guess the devs never look in there either cause all we get is dead silence from them.

Tried everything I possibly could, short of getting a discover card or prepaid game card basically. Multiple CC, bank cards, all from different banks and even from canada. Tried 2 different paypal accounts. Tried all this for subscription, for crysta. Nothing will get accepted. It is all denied on SE's end. It is some issue SE needs to fix where everything is getting rejected and people are getting a 401 and 601 error. I literally cannot do anything to pay them. I used to have been a ffxi subscriber for 8 years and billing was always a pain. But this is on a whole new level. As a act of good faith for their customers they should've already voluntarily extended the 30 free sub till they could offer functioning payment services

Can the list for turning in items for seals to your grand company either be expanded or split to where it it organized by item level from your inventory then by item level from your armoury chest? As it is currently it fills up quickly with the various af crafting gear so that nothing else can be loaded unless you put all that gear on a retainer.

I'm not sure how this game is set up the way I think it is, but can the culling order be adressed so it goes boss>mobs>party>npc>others>pets>minions? I'm sick of disappearing behemoth/svara/odin, and only being able to heal (if i'm lucky) 1 or 2 party members in these fates.

It is of note that I'm playing on PS3, and my troubles will probably be remedied by the PS4 launch, but it's pretty unfair to those who may be playing on the PS3 for a while, as they don't get to experience some of the most epic endgame content.

Last, I'm not sure what you guys are allowed to say about this topic, due to your dealings with SEA, but would an SSD help with some of the FATE performance issues? I know the PS3 uses a sata1 controller, so one will get bottleknecked performance, but the stock 5200 HDD in the PS3 doesn't actually (as far as I'm aware) take full advantage of the sata1 anyway. Any insight would be appreciated.

I enjoy the dps spells a Conjurer / WHM get I'd like to see a class come from that that actually uses them instead of healing. Like a Geomancer or something would be great.
