[JakeRoon]

1. A targeting system that works.
2. A UI that works.
3. A options for everything! (ie: auto attack on/off, make both types of players happy)
4. Mail and deliveries.
5. Player owned transportation on all scales big and small (chocobos/airships)
6. .....

really that's all I can come up with I am pretty easy to please.

1. Remove teleportation ~ add airships and chocobos (with quests for main access and remote areas)
2. Class specific gear with quests (AF, AF2...etc.), Level specific gear.
3. Campaign/Besieged like battles, these are extreme fun and one of the best things that where added to FFXI. Make the Hamlets usefull.
4. Beastmen tribes and their strongholds with instanced and free for all campaign like battles.
5. Long term goal oriented gear (relics).
6. Dungeons with repeatable and unique quests that open up more repeatable/unique quests (Assault/Nyzul/Salvage)
7. Targeting and general UI optimization (getting there slowly)
8. Rework the attribute system. Right now it is either not working or effects are too minimal to be usefull. Make +1 count and give the players the feedback that something really has changed. Right now it does F%^& all.
9. Work on the spells and spell effects, honestly, you really think you did a good job there?
10. Stop trying to re-invent the wheel. Learn from the 10 years of FFXI experience and bloody use it!

1. Remove teleportation ~ add airships and chocobos (with quests for main access and remote areas)

I agree with this one. They can still find another use for anima though. Perhaps limiting teleports only between crystals. Or an alternative cost for teleport spells.

[Forlorn]

In no particular order:

1. Quest hubs with real quests, not "side quests"
2. Job system, similar to FFXI
3. Sub jobs, similar to FFXI
4. personal housing
4. Similar job to Samurai from FFXI
5. Auction House
6. Chocobos/Airships/Transportation in general
7. Equipment system similar to FFXI
8. Equipment system similar to FFXI
9. A not so tedious crafting/gathering system
10. Better combat system, I'd say like the system from FFXI but I think that could use improvements as well, mostly pick up the speed somewhat.

Yea, I said a lot from FFXI. No I don't want a copy from FFXI, though that wouldn't be horrible. But there is a lot from FFXI that was great and could be great in FFXIV too.

[Chibino]

1. Advance class system similar to FF Tactics
2. 2hand/1hand weapons for each class or break weapon away from classes for more variety.
3. more use for status effects like sleep, paralyze, blind, dia, etc... like how in FF tactics series or FF11
4. smoother battle queue system
5. fully customizable key binding system (similar to WoW, i just want to make my key bindings to feel more comfortable)
6. animations worthy of FF series.
7. more content
8. gear flexibility
9. weapon flexibility
10. chocobos

[Rowyne]

1. Dual UI (One for keyboard/mouse users, one for gamepad users, no more trying to make one work for both)
2. Instanced Dungeons (4-mans)
3. Instanced Raids (8-mans)
4. Class-Specific Armor Sets
5. More Robust "Side"Quests (I prefer to think of them as regular quests)
6. Sidequests redesigned to also reward exp (I prefer quest-based leveling to mindless grinding)
7. Mail system
8. Large Scale PvE (similar to Beseiged)
9. More hamlets and a reason to visit them (quest hubs)
10. Manual jump function

[Valentia]

1-4. Content that includes but not entirely limited to: non-levequest (both long-term and short-term) content, companies, large-scale (RE: campaign) and small-scale (RE: exp) fights alike.
5. Better leadership management: to this day, there has been not even the least bit of info that SE even thinks the linkshell management needs fixed. There's something clearly wrong when a leader cannot kick someone at any point in time from the group he owns.
6. More Open-World NMs.
7. Giant swords and giant scythes.
8. Fewer holiday gimmicks (I'm looking at you, FFXI) with exp holidays instead (double/triple exp weekends/days).
9. Hard-to-get Artifact-esque gear.
10. Better utilizing of video card & processor.

I pick door number seven! THAT! THAT! THAT! My Thaumaturge SCREAMS for a big-ass scythe!

1. The chocobo guy to stop telling me there is a shortage on chocobos
2. Instead of the airship being there just for looks, how about letting me ride it
3. job name changes, wtf is a pugilist. Im sorry but these names stray very far from a traditional FF. booo

^ I like you! Alot!

Anywho, I'll write my own 10 wants and do-not-wants in the morning, well LATER in the morning. It's 5:20 AM here in Florida!

10 is not enough >< but A lot of what people said I completely agree on.

[Mort]

1. Combat system, it needs to be fixed. Something like a speed up FFXI combat system.
2. SP balancing. what is up with getting 1000+ SP? At Rank 1 i got to rank 5 in one kill, im not joking.
3. Different options to leveling. ie Guildleves not being the best option, but for people who cant wait for a group.
Camping(FFXI), Questing, Hamlet defences, Arena combat, etc. but being Camping the best option for fast SP.
Camping in FFXI got people closer together, and is realy fun with a GOOD combat system, combating it self is supose
to be really fun.
4. Areas.. looking forward to new areas is something a MMO needs, these big ass areas where you can level from 1-50 is not fun, especially with teleporting to a crystal and doing the same quests over and over again. not cool.
5. Chocobos.
6. Airship.
7. Open up the Main city.
8. Lvl/Class req on gear.
9. Classic job names. not as Advanced jobs, or talent trees. revamp the classes and take away the stupid armory system. A class is suposed to wield different weapons, not weapon defined by class.
10. Away with the silence, talk more, communicate, party more, hunt mobs. w/e...
