Ability to turn off Linkshell icons and our own names

[Misha]

This is one of my largest pet peeves along side having to see everyone's damage and healing.

It frustrates me that SE Doesn't care to give me the options.
It makes me sick that players are arguing against it.

It blows my mind that people would even mention that UI options could be confusing.
To whom exactly? yes/no: Character name. Yes/no: Friendly PC unit names. Yes/no: Enemy NPC unit names. Yes/no: Friendly NPC unit names.

Even if you couldn't read, at all, 30 seconds of testing would let any player adjust the game to their liking.

To anyone that says "just turn off names, silly!" It doesn't work that way. NPC names are important in game information to me and player names are not. Unneeded information on my screen has to go. It is that simple.

I swear. the community has gotten to the point that people are bashing each others suggestions just for the sake of it. People go on constantly about what exactly a next gen MMO is all about. If SE can't even provide last gens basic features then whats the point?

Yep arguing AGAINST extra customization is blatantly retarded and pathetic, sorry if any of you feel the need to take that personally but it's the truth. Adding extra options and customizations doesn't hurt anyone , not even the FF 14 dev team in relation to other parts of the game cause they have their own teams! If you honestly find anything like customization too confusing then ... don't use it!!! There's a reason people want these BASIC thing's added, cause they are just that! If they don't fix some of this stuff by the time the first big battle patch rolls around, which isn't far out now, it's going to have a significant impact like it or not xD

name a game with near limitless UI options you guys are talking about.
And i'm not saying anything bad about it. Nor saying it shouldn't be added. What I am saying is think about it and who this effects. Its not as basic as you think. And such options effect more ppl then you think.

Sorry but when did this thread become an argument about limitless UI options and not a thread about simple name/icon toggles?
