Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Why do I keep getting a message saying "Current Job attribute points have now been reset" when I have never done anything to my job attribute points at all except placing them? it is very annoying, and I have been getting it for the last 3 weeks, every second day or so. I play on PS3 and would greatly like this message to stop appearing as it scares me witless whenever I get it, thinking something's happened to my points, or job.

Already been mentioned before but, Fishers need to store their tackles and lures in the bait box. Unlike other DoLs, they need an item to gather an item, and unlike DoHs, they can't do their job next to the summoning bell.

Please, SE, make it possible to discard duplicate AF gear/swimsuits. I've got about 11 pieces of duplicate gear that I can't get rid of, and which are currently taking up slots in my inventory. Thanks.

^ This please!!!! Just was finishing up my whm storyline and now I have an extra tiara and gloves I cant get rid of >_<

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned because there are 97 pages now but we really need an update to switch FFXIV to whatever audio device we plug in while logged in. Currently, if you plug headphones in, the audio for the game still comes from the speakers. The only way to fix this is to log out and back in, which isn't so great when you're 'reserving instance' in AK for 29 mins and counting.

Good morning!

Thank you for the lovely patch!

I would like to have more fish to catch. I would also like to be able to compare my size of fishes to other fishers in game. ^__^

Please give more fishes, especially more moochable fishes. Also I would like more achievements for fishing and an achievement for fishing in all places. I would like items or gil or something for achievements. I would like to fish in more areas, not like dungeons and stuff, but for like, fishing in camps. You said we would have aquariums, but I would like to also have stuffed fish trophies to hang on my wall.

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.

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.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but is not listed in the main page.

Please let us dye every armor, its sad to see everyone with darklight armor or job armor having the same appearance, the only lvl 50 armor (the green armor) we can dye now are really meh....

and let the dye effect all part of the armor, for example in botanist chest piece lvl 50 the dye only affect the "inner cloth" and not the "vest", so please let us dye the "vest" as well even if it means using 2 dye.

I second this Suggestion, because at level 50 the basically only option to dye armor is by getting crafted armor.. DL armor, several greens from Amdapor and Bahamut Armor is all non-dyeable.. This is really annoying to look like a Clown at lvl 50 with mixed gear..

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.

Something else to consider is to at least open this up with addons if it is eating up too much dev time. Hopefully when you allow addons people will be able to change/add/remove/modify anything and everything on the UI, since UI mods are probably one of the biggest parts of the modding scene. You won't likely make everyone happy with your UI, no matter what you give us, so allowing people to make whatever they want themselves is likely the best move in this case. Not that I am opposed to further UI changes and updates, because these are always welcome. I just wanted to make sure that we obtain as much freedom as possible when addons come out since that will likely be the best place for some things.
