Suggestion: Save UI Config / Gear Sets / Etc Automagically

[Iscah]

Gearsets don't take that long to set up, do they? Equip weapon, hit the "recommended gear" button, save gearset? Possibly with a 'neutral' set to equip in between if you don't like your gear auto-unequipping.

Anything else you can just recreate as you need it.

It's not just gear sets, and not just hot bars, it's really the whole experience that makes it for me. Take a dozen toons, with 4-12 jobs, average 5, and most above level 50, then delete your config files. Give it a try. I'm sure you'll enjoy this little exercise like I have.

Actually. I've only done three toons and I'll wait on getting my new power supply.

If this is not a problem for you, then you don't need to upvote the suggestion to SQX.
If you like manually saving this config when you change it, don't upvote.
If you like setting up google cloud or drop box or whatever other database to save this stuff automatically, rather than having SQX do it, don't upvote.
If you like manually saving stuff, then suggest some other parts of the MMO, like Retainer Gear, or Achievements or something else that we should save manually to lessen the load on the network and servers at SQX.

Ceruleum sarcasm off.

Seriously tho. I think this has not gotten any attention at SQX because the number of jobs has creeped up on them. If someone had dropped us into this whole thing with eighteen [ did I count right?] jobs in the game, and each one with hot bars and gear sets, and shared hot bars and macros, and color settings and key bindings and more and more changing skills with each patch and said - "oh yeah. You have to save all that stuff manually" there would be a hew and cry from the roof tops. But they add a couple of jobs per expansion and we forget it was once quite reasonable to save it manually.

I'm suggesting it no longer is reasonable to manage this stuff manually. At over 1 MB of data per toon, it's no longer reasonable to worry about it "manually".

Just a suggestion.
