[FUN] Things you want to see in the patch notes...but probably won't: 2.5 Edition

[DarkStar]

-The "Favor" system has now been added into the game (I'm not the only one who remembers that april fools gag...right? Guys?).
- After processing massive amounts of data, complaints, and suggestions, we have finally gone ahead and changed Bard from a "DPS" class to a "Tank" class. Bard-only gear now provides significantly more Defense and Magic Defense for the rare occasions they can't kite a mob, and they've been given a new trait that doubles all threat generation to help prevent those silly Paladins and Warriors from stealing hate
- Blacklist size has been increase from 200 entries to 1,000 entries.
- Adding someone to your Blacklist removes all /tell messages they have sent you from your chat log.
- It is now possibly to right-click someone's name and select "Report Character". When doing so, you will be given a small list of options to designate what they are being reported for. Options include "Harassment", "Cheating", and "RMT".

And, for a special 2.51 "Things I want to see on the Patch Notes but probably won't" bonus...
- The following items will now be available through the Golden Saucer: Bohemian Set, Guardian Corps set, Blazefire Saber, Vega Knuckles, L'cie Bardiche, Bladed Lance, Star Seeker, Binding Rod, Mog's Staff, Grimoire Wing, Flame Fossil (new ROG Arms).

-Fishers will now have a tackle box to store all of their bait and lures. Fishers also will have a fish bucket that will store all fish caught, eliminating the need to have lures and fish stored in the main inventory tabs.

[Ramien]

- Godbert revealed as Lahabrea's new host (it would explain his superhuman powers at least!).

But then we'd never be able to beat him!

My wishlist:
- Tired of seeing bards with all the fun hats? We stealth added RDMs with bigger and better hats!
- All Lalafells in PvP now have a permanent flag overhead to allow normal sized races to see them.
- Any mount can now act as a companion in battle, not just chocobos.
- Unique music for each mount, not just chocobos.
