what Quality of life improvements do you want?

Have the public market board scroll 2 or 3 lines at a time instead of one, and have the "page" arrow buttons be at the top as well as bottom of the page.

1) Do away with 123 combos. Either a single button or auto attack. It's not a skill, it's a chore. Chores are not fun.

I'm going to (slightly/partially) disagree; I think it's fine to have your base attacks condensed to a single button, but I think you need more engaging things to intersperse in there if you do so.

One reason many healer mains find healing gameplay to be mind-numbing is that we only have a single button, and hitting that single button over and over and over again just doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel quite as bad to me on a controller, mind you; possibly it's just because I'm so used to "hit X three times for this combo" or "hit X twice, then jump, and X again for this other combo" in a lot of action-y games that it feels less like I'm dead inside if I'm hitting one DPS button repeatedly there.

I agree that lengthy combos as the base attack rotation that exist seemingly solely to be lengthy combos start to verge on being a chore. But as someone who raids on her PC using keyboard/mouse, whoo boy, just hitting 1 repeatedly as a healer gets dull (and actually occasionally physically painful after a couple of hours of raiding).

An example of a combo sequence done well -- or at least, "done in a way I enjoy" -- is MNK. At each stage of the combo, you have three options; one is a high-potency single-target attack, one is a single-target attack that grants a buff or imposes a DoT, and one is an AoE variant. While I think the fact that MNK is missing the middle of its AoE combo for a breathtaking 15 levels down in ARR is a design choice I would at best term 'bewildering', overall I think it's a very satisfying design.

(I particularly liked it in ShB when every stage of the combo had a positional requirement -- and I joke that you cannot make me stop playing MNK as though that were still true -- but I also admit I'm weird.)

5) Clickable links in chat

I know many, many games don't want to have clickable links because it helps enable phishing, but at the very least make the links included in system messages -- which can only come from SQEX -- clickable.

The middle ground I've personally used in the past is to make links clickable to trusted sites without confirmation and then otherwise put a 'this goes to an unknown site, are you sure you want to trust it?' warning message up. Which I like to think is a red flag if someone were to click on what they think is a link to the game's forums and get the warning message... but I can leave my own site and common ones like Discord ("join voice for callouts!") or IMGUR/Youtube/whatever ("This is the strat we're using.") ones that will launch without a warning.

"Sell junk" button.

While it's probably harder to define 'junk' in this game as I think only the Allagan [Tin/Copper/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Mythril/Uranium/Plutonium/Unobtanium/whatever] Pieces (and their ilk) are strictly speaking 'junk' that has no defined purpose other than sales to merchants (though you could sure make a strong case for like 80% of the fish in this game, which exist solely to be checked off the fishing log)...

What I want as a convenience button is a 'Greed All' or 'Pass All' button in the loot window. Moreover, I want a 'Remember this choice for the rest of the run.' checkbox.

If I'm in a current EX dungeon, chances are that I do not need any of the gear... but I will always Greed on it (including things for my current job that I could Need on) because I can use it to level desynthing or turn it in for company seals (which become glamour prisms or retainer ventures or random minion lootboxes); I'd love to be able to click 'Remember this choice.' and then click 'Greed All' in the first loot window of the dungeon and just not have to care for the rest of the run.

And if I'm in, say, Aurum Vale, I would very much like to be able to just 'Pass All' and call it good, because I promise you there's no chance I need any of that gear (and it's not even worth the inventory space to desynth or turn in for grand company seals).

You could even make the 'remember this choice' apply only to gear, so that -- for instance -- you don't have it accidentally greed/pass on a minion, orchestrion roll, or triple triad card that you wanted to Need on.

(It also doesn't need to force me to click 'pass' on something I literally cannot roll on. "You already have one of that unique item." Or in a current alliance raid, "You have already obtained one piece of gear this week." Fine, then why did you ask me if I wanted it?)

Better hairstyles
The recent island sanctuary hairs look very outdated compared to Lyse's hair or the Viera hairstyles

Cause those Hairstyles are a few years old.

When searching for stuff on the market board, just load the page and not fail to load the page if I switch between pages too fast.

200% boost to damage to all bosses in dungeons, raid wides, tank busters and stack markers. I feel they don’t do enough

A hilarious example being in Stone Vigil, the final boss and the first boss both have untelegraphed cleaves, both do more damage to the tank than the all the tank buster damages in ARR-EW and are more frequent

Separate the damned craft menus by job and by level.

The current system and menus are confusing, and you have to manually search the menu for the item you need. A category for reaper / smn whatever job, the same for craft vs gather gear, separate from combat jobs.

Redo the levels on the gear as well, as its confusing to search for a level 55 piece of gear in the 56-60 menu, and please, for the love of heaven REDO the entire 1-50 gearsets, you get instances where you are eight levels different and theres no new gearsets of jewellery, mirror the actual craft hand in items from Rowenas so you can check them in the field.

Many nodes are also tagged as still collectible, but cant be handed in or broken down, they are essentially useless.

I would like to be able to give commendations for anything at any time. A limited number per day. (I think commendations are more likely to be removed than changed, which would be fine with me.)

I want to be able to toggle off minions landing on my head.

I want to turn off R2+R1/RT+RB to switch to random target. For me it's redundant and it's super annoying to realize I've switched targets when I meant to switch hot bars.

Separate the damned craft menus by job and by level.

Alternatively, just give us a better search menu. Something where we can filter by name, but also could do "for job [X]", "for level [Y]", picking a set of gear to restrict to (e.g. weapon/head/chest/gloves/legs/boots/etc.).

Heck, give us "best crafted thing equippable at level [Y]", not just "for level [Y]". Right now if someone's like "can someone make me a set of gear? I'm level 48." I have to either go to external websites to figure out what the best thing they can equip in each slot is, or I have to use the marketboard and do 'search for job' with the maximum level set to 48 (or whatever) and then use the fact that gear is sorted by level requirement in that mode to figure out what the best crafted thing they can use at that level is.

...honestly, on reflection, I now think I'd prefer an improved search system to re-organizing the crafting lists themselves.
