ONE thing You'd Change About the Game

Let us end the retainer dialog stack by just walking away, like we can with vendors. Backing out one menu level at a time is just too tedious.

Moderation for PvP

I think this one is mostly self explanatory? Nobody likes having AFKers in their Frontline games, or people who constantly leave matches in their ranked queues. It disincentivizes queuing for somewhat niche content in an environment where there's not many incentives to queue in the first place.

Idea: When on a PVP battleground, you lose health steadily unless you help kill other players or do something else to help your team. Just standing around gives you a boredom, debuff that removes you in 60 seconds, with no credit for anything.

I would nerf tomestone gear, so Expert Roulette doesn't make gear rewards from any other content (except savage) obsolete.

One thing?

Damn, Hard choosing between CBu3 being removed or YoshiP being removed. Both do not take criticism, Both have egos, Both are responsible for the state of Endwalker, Post Endwalker & Dawntrail.

Endwalker memed The Empire, Memed Zodiark, Memed the 13th.

Dawntrail Memed the entire story, Memed Warrior Of Light, Memed the scions, Casually gave one of the WORST characters in years 4500 lines almost beating Alphinaud in one, ONE expansion.

Alphinaud has been around since ARR while trashselfdevinsertlamat has been around since post endwalker, Very disgusting push from SE.

. . I think i'll choose CBu3 Being completely retired.

The first thing I would change is the one-sided friend removal. It’s obvious enough what’s wrong with not being allowed to remove yourself after accepting a friend request. People have talked about it for years. But I’ve never seen anyone bring up how awkward it can be for the person on the other end as well, not realising they’ve been removed...

Please let us decide for ourselves how to manage our friendships! As it stands now, it’s frustrating for those who need to end their involvement with another player, and fooling those who have been removed.

I can't believe this is still an issue all these years later.

Us being robbed of a Garlemald expansion that properly works through the conflict there really sits sour with me. They should never have rushed the Endwalker storyline. Everything from level 84 on should have been covered from 90-100 in 7.0. The trial that happens at the boundary of level 83/84 quests should have been the 6.5 final trial or whatever to set up 7.0, and level 83 and earlier should have been properly fleshed out as the level 80-90 story for the Garlemald expansion and 6.x patch series.

I actually liked base Endwalker despite its flaws, but the more I think about it, the more frustrated I am about the decisions made with the story.

I haven't finished EW yet, but the extremely underwhelming portion of the Garlemald arc is part of why I consider Stormblood the true end of the Garlemald Empire chapter thematically. I can’t remember who originally said it, and I might be butchering the phrasing, but the quote goes something like: “Fascism is imperialism turned inward.” I was really hoping the fall of Garlemald would give us a deep exploration of that idea: a once-expansionist empire turning its tools of violence and control inward as it collapses. But instead, we got a surface-level portrayal of Garlemald’s downfall totally lacking the sociopolitical nuance that the setting begged for.

Make "replica" versions of script-exchange crafters/gatherers gear, for all I care set it on mogstation but preferrably make it exchangeable with the now useless blue script of island sanctuary I farmed for 6 bloody weeks only to find out all my work was for NOTHING and I had to start from fresh for new, EVEN MORE tedious script farming that forces players to log in every day or at least 2 days a week or else lose out on it. (I quit after 2 weeks, I was so done)

i.e.: "all jobs" so they become glams... island sanctuary is gathering world and fake-crafting/animal tending....harvesting etc...perfect for this to make the blue scripts useful again. What I wouldn't do to be able to wear Fishers winter coat from level 80 script vendor .. sigh

Disconnect Au Ra Headscales from the face option and make it a separate category.

Returning to Garlemald would be an amazing expansion. Working within its walls to prevent another imperialistic army would be such a great narrative.
