    Instead of listing stuff like DoL or DoW, or whatever do this:

    Healer
    Melee DPS
    Magical range DPS
    Physical range DPS
    They've already made that change in how they organize the character window, so maybe they'll move that pattern into other areas of the game as well.

Why in the hell did they do that anyway? wish they reverse it/ never made that change. To text size UI change is not going to make "material" and materials" confusing and knowing magically what each means. They both have materials for gear? WTH where they thinking in doing that????????????????????????????
    I hate that one, too. I'm not dyslexic. I can read the words with no problem, but it doesn't help if they both say the same thing. (They differ only in whether the word is plural, like how could that distinguish them when we can buy either single or multiple items either place?) I usually end up just checking both to find what I'm looking for.

    It was split into two sections because it was getting to be a long list otherwise. That much makes sense. But only the crafting materials one should have been called "materials". The other tab, the one with quest items, augmentation trade-in items, consumables, and so on, could have been called "other" or "miscellaneous" or something that doesn't duplicate the name of a different category.

    p.s. Anyone familiar with the Japanese, French, or German versions? Is this problem of both those tabs being given essentially the same name just an issue in the English release, or all four?

Since the reference is flipped and I get confused what east and west is to begin with, I got no clue what leads to what.

    I can read "east" and "west" fine, it is knowing what both means and those meanings sometimes gets flipped leading me going the wrong way.
    While I can understand how that could be very frustrating, I'm not quite sure what SE could do to improve it.

I really do not like that and hope they change mixing different expansion areas under the same listing like that.
    It's because they're dividing them by nation rather than by when they were added into the game. They want to make it more intuitive for new players who are starting now and have all 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 areas already in the game to begin with.

    Coerthas Central Highlands and Coerthas Western Highlands are both part of Coerthas, so it's natural to group them together, the same way that Central Thanalan and Western Thanalan are grouped together. It's just that, in the case of Coerthas, we reached one part earlier in the story than when we reach the other.

    might as well be the same item. i have to work very hard to tell them apart. As said I put skill speed on BLM before because of it.
    I agree, those are too similar. I wish they'd gone with "spell speed" and "attack speed" or "spell speed" and "action speed" or something if they wanted to split it into two different attributes.
