Alt + Tab yes please :D

It's a core mechanic, it would require them to redo certain functions so the game can reallocate properly.

Yes I understand this. Still not a big deal to implement. They could even remove the border, title bar, etc... from the windowed setting. I know this isn't true full screen but it would look much better still.

Tearing is what happens when the game is redrawing the screen faster than your monitor can refresh it. What happens is that you start getting instances where the image breaks in the middle of it as its showing two different frames at once.
Wikipedia has a good example / explanation of whats happening with it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing
vsync forces it to only redraw at the max speed the monitor can handle. (Most standard LCD's is 60Hz / FPS)

And +1 for running XIV with crossfire. I have dual 5750's, when I built my machine it was the best performance per $ in my price range. A single 5750 however is not THAT great on its own and running XIV in windowed mode really slows down. Full screen performance is MUCH better when both cards can be fully utilized.

As for them having to redo parts of the graphics engine, this should have never been the case in the first place. Its a bug, and I will continue to label it as such till it gets fixed.

Dunno if it was mentioned yet but there is a program called Shiftwindow that can make the game exactly like windowed maximized. Set the game config to windowed and same resolution as your desk top and shiftwindow to force it full screen without borders. Alt tabbing will be a breeze. Its not like windower either, it works on almost all games. Once the window is full screen you can close Shiftwindow.

In the eyes of SE that still counts as a 3rd party program and probly bannable that is why I did not mention it.

Alt-Tab yes please.

Strange how SE neglected to have a good windowing/fullscreen option implemented since day one.
