    When people start bringing up different games having different systems, I really have to hold up my hand for stop. FFXIV: ARR onwards is made from the ashes of the jumbled mess that was FFXIV. We don't know just how much of the jumbled mess still exists. Only the FFXIV team does. Given the time they had to work with to get out what they could for ARR, there's still probably plenty (even if every patch had some sort of fix to those past mistakes). When they say server limitations, I literally hear "we have to go back and see what core problems still exist and see if we can implement it safely without something else breaking." A lot of these other games that have these systems weren't put in post launch. WoW is possibly the only exception, but it also wasn't built on the ashes of a game that was systematically a mess.

    My suggestion is, while we can ask for a player error check, simply take your time and read when buying gear. Especially if it's behind weekly lock-outs.

    This. There is a good bit of the 1.0 source code left in the game because the /entirety/ of ARR was built off of it's desiccated corpse in order to relaunch within a certain time line. This is the reason why so many simple additions for other games are near impossible to implement here, such as increased bag sizes and a PROPER glamour library system that doesn't require the items to be in your bag. So while the idea is admirable, know that it wouldn't be easy to implement in the slightest because of the folly the developers made in keeping the original 1.0 source code.

    In this case though I feel that part of the problem in providing a solution to the problem, at least on my part, is a proper diagnosis of the problem itself.

    The OP declared that their problem is caused by dyslexia, however based on what I know of dyslexia, the description of the circumstances outlined by the OP and the lack of common dyslexic errors in their typed responses, I am not certain that dyslexia is actually the root of the issue.

    As I stated in an earlier post, it really seems like it might be an eyesight problem resulting in the OP having difficulty reading the text because it is too small for them. This is a completely different problem to tackle than dyslexia.

    Then again, it may be dyslexia or it could just very well be a lack of patience or paying attention.
    It's very hard to pin down what exactly is going on because I feel the OP is being very emotionally reactionary in their posts and descriptions instead of being measured, clear and concise with the problem and it's symptoms.
