Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

I think the item should be chosen the instant the venture is selected...

Definitely no problems with that at all! Similar to your experience, I get an item my retainer can use, retainer is still in a venture, I tell myself I'll do it later, I forget, I run a dungeon/raid some other time, that same item drops and I can't roll on it cause I still have it in my bags cause I didn't put it on my retainer.

[I]Can we equip/unequip gear on our lovely retainers when they are occupied, as we do with withdrawing, depositing and sales?

People would abuse that. Equip a retainer with HA/soldiery and make it 110, send it for a venture and get back your gear and wear it yourself again, everytime.

Easy to give it restrictions too. Every part of the game has restrictions. But to name a few that just popped into my head:
1. End reward is based on initial ilvl or final decreased ilvl achieved.
2. Any action that increases ilvl/gathering/etc of a retainer during the venture will have no effect. Subsequent changes will take effect on the next venture assigned.
3. Any action that decreases ilvl/gathering/etc of a retainer during the venture will affect the result. The end reward will be based on the lowest ilvl achieved in the duration of the venture.

But... what's the point in accesing your retainer gear when it's in a venture then? why would you want to be able to do it.

As me and mbncd said, it's forgetting to equip items to retainers. 15 hours later after the venture, you'd forgotten again. I really don't mind if the changes don't take effect immediately, I just want to know that it's done and placed where it needs to be placed XD

EDIT: Also I remembered that my friend was really excited that they came across some of the new dyes and wanted to dye some of the retainer stuff. It'd be nice to be able to unequip for a second, dye, then re-equip. Or just be able to dye in the actual retainer window really like we do with ours. Same with glamour, both unavailable while venturing.

I wish we can get a glamour book. It should work like the journal book at the inn room for cut scenes. Once you obtain an item, you will unlock the skin of the item in the glamour book. You can then glamour onto selected gears just like how we are doing now, the difference is that now we do it from the book and hence no longer have to preserve the physical items, which really helps out on the inventory issue as we get more jobs and gears down the road. This also solve the issue of multi-stages items like relics and levi weapons. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one around who wish I can "turn off" the glowing effect or retain another color instead.

While I'm at this, may I also request to remove the "grades" between the glamour prism? It really serve no purpose beside being another source of annoyance really...

Let us change jobs without having to exit the crafting screen!.

[Evangela]

It's good to have "try on" option on items but it will be better if we can right click and try on equipment on the loot window too. I want to see how does it look before greed/needing for it (mostly Syrcus Tower stuffs).

Please give players an account warehouse. Some of us use alts(which is why we pay a higher subscription), and it would be really nice to have an account warehouse to keep some of our stuff on to use on other characters.

Awesome news Heavensward feels crazy , I will be online for sure for the spring . Have some thoughts -
-1-Hunts-is it possible to change claim system for hunts , for example ,maybe S hunt should be claimed by 3 party leaders before it may be attackable or making announcement on main chat when it is claimed , or maybe have 1 min cool down after it claimed before it may be attackable . I personally want it to be fun and furious and don't really like my suggestions, I just want to point some things .
-2-Crafting FC housing area- is it possible to make crafting statues or founts or else in housing area, not in fc house area but around it on main streets or squares , for example 3 fc have to craft 3 multi star recepies parts, gather in a point and "redecorate' , it must be really hard to make I assume.
-3- single player content- dungeons and battle arena
Thank you.
