ideas for future patches (hopefully sooner than later)

Sign me up for the new jobs with everyone else, but my current question is about mounts: While I'm sure there are plenty in the works, do you plan to make any more "flying" mounts like the Ahriman/Bomb mounts? I personally would enjoy riding a giant hawk (or Roc, or similar type large raptor), or even an Allagan themed mount like an ADS!

As an abstraction of the mount idea, how about the Float spell from FFXII as a "mount"? Just as your character levitates during Teleport/Return, you'd instead proceed to float and move at the speed a mount would normally carry you. How about it?

crafting would become pointless except end level and it still hurts even there, you would have that oh I don't need to craft/buy gear every 10 levels or farm for that weapon I have heirloom that just scales with w/e lvl I'm at

Ok, hypothetically speaking, if there was some type of heirloom gear that didn't scale with your level and was only found via crafters is that something that would perhaps change your mind a little?

the only way you could safely implement heirloom gear with an exp. bonus is if it was crafted with a pre req of 1 lvl 50 already. the gear was class MAYBE stat specific so it would only be good for one or two classes. The xp bonus is say .5% per main armor piece, so it equals out to something like 3% xp bonus. Then materia slots between 2 to 4 slots pending armor slot head/hands/chest ect... remove/destroy materia as you level up to 50 so you could put stronger materia melds on the gear. Base stats should be on par with white gear so materia boosts it up to green level or crafted HQ. With a major spin-off of the RNG learning from a book, you would always get a recipe unlike atma's but RNG would decided what you get. THEN maybe just maybe it could work

in all reality though with food, fc buffs, rest xp, all the bonus xp from doing things the first time through, even the helms for lvls 1 to 10 its just so easy already to level that we don't even need heirloom gear even if you were leveling multiple characters like I play around with here and there. what would benefit players above all else is if we could mail crafted gear to our friggin other characters, I have all crafts to 50 really not trying to do that again on all of the others I like to play.

Also new races, 7 out of 10 people I see are "cats" in any place I go.
