Some of those are pretty nifty, but a big fat huge ferocious no to #1.
We had it in 1.0 and it was the worst crap ever.

Not a 1.0 player, so I'm not sure how crappy it was.
I kinda see the misconception with how this could be abused, but if there were a criteria which would allow a change in the Duty to happen without harming the flow of the game it could be very viable.
Maybe perhaps restrict looting to the class you entered into the Duty with. A tank (with a DPS alt class) queues in with a DPS buddy. Buddy leaves and the tank switches to DPS to take his spot; just so the "tank" (aka DPS) would by-pass the queue time. Insta-queue as a tank, loot as a DPS. Then make the rule that if you queue in an a tank, you loot as a tank despite playing a DPS role.
Here's another couple of ideas.
8) Your Chocobo should NOT prevent you from queuing in the DF, nor by summoning your Chocobo are you automatically kicked from your DF queue. At least give the player a yes/no option when summoning your Chocobo, to warn that you will be kicked out of the DF queue....but prefer to be in queue while using my Chocobo.
9) When doing leves while in queue in the DF, allow the leve to be on pause while you run the dungeon.
It was used for speed running the dungeons that dropped Darklight (BiS at the time), most players were required to have multiple geared lv50 classes for specific portions of the dungeons and had to change on the fly. Very annoying for most able to do so and frustrating for those incapable of doing so.Not a 1.0 player, so I'm not sure how crappy it was.

#2 sounds like a good idea until you realize that tank and healer queues are nearly instant so you will never ever get a DPS pop.
I guess you could queue as both tank and healer and cut your queue to 15 seconds from 15-60 seconds.
They had this option in Rift since one class could be DPS and tank or heals. Cleric was all three.
For me tank popped 75% of the time, healer 20%, DPS 5%.
This also leads to the switching roles in dungeons. If I wasn't in the mood to tank I would sometimes only queue as DPS on my warrior. We would get into the dungeon and a lot of the time the warrior who had queued as tank to reduce the queue time would ask me to tank because he sucked at it and didn't have great gear.
This happened to me even more on my cleric with healers.
We were also expected to have multiple specs setup for tanking because some sub-classes were better for some fights and others were better for other fights.

Greetings,
We understand that there are a lot of requests for features such as this that would improve the convenience of the free company chest, but currently we are prioritizing safety above all else for free company chests as there a lot of people accessing this feature to store and retrieve items.

To be honest, I would never use this feature. I hand sort all my items to make sure each tap is organized in a way that makes sense and encourages my members to use items offered. For example one my tabs has top 3 rows all Prisms. Tier1-5 on each 3 lanes of ARM/LTW/WVR. Some auto sort option would just stramble all my hard work.Greetings,

I really question how many people actually want this ? Or do they just think they want it without actually considering consequences.



Isn't it as simple coding-wise as adding it to the list of right-click options? Since it's already in-game & the CC acts as a psuedo player inventory already.
I guess I don't understand the reason being 'prioritization' when it's probably a 2 minute implementation for an expert coder.
Plenty, I'm sure. Simple solution - just make it a restricted feature (by permission only) so you don't have general membership butchering your personal organizational tastes.
Boom. Done.

The ability to abandon a leve when a Duty Finder comes up.

I'm guessing the issue would be if multiple people are accessing the chest and it is sorted it could cause issues ( I think items in the past can be duped by using shared inventories in this way).Isn't it as simple coding-wise as adding it to the list of right-click options?
