Any way to make NPCs in town Load priority? Fate mobs load priority? Spawned mobs load priority? I run on average 23-35 fps yet I'm always waiting for them to load.

Will we be able to grow shards/crystals/clusters in our Mog House?

I am a male player, and my main character is an Elezen female. I created her quickly to test the error 90000 bug during Beta 4. I chose a randomly generated name because I just wanted to do a quick test. By the time I reached level 10 and verified she didn't experience the error, I realized I really enjoyed playing that character. I didn't (and still don't) like her name, but I figured I could just change her name later. I figured this because when fantasia was announced, it was stated it would allow changing everything except starting class. Fantasia is now listed as allowing the changing of everything except starting class and character name. By the time this was officially stated on the website, I had put too much work into my character to just start over.

Is there any chance that we will have an opportunity to change our character name in the future (even as a paid service)?

They should rethink that, else alot of people are going to have the opposite gender name on their characters and that could destroy some people wanting to use the item in the first place. >< I know if I changed gender I'd be royally pissed with this name on a male! (not that I am planning on it, but still)

What is being done with invisible UNTARGETABLE characters and enemies in overcrowded areas, such as fates?

If it doesnt get fixed by 2.1, crystal tower will be UNPLAYABLE on ps3 and probably on weaker pc's too.

[LlenCoram]

Can we get some information about this class? What we can expect, when we can expect it, what crafting class will make guns, etc.?

I've been waiting three years to get my gun back and I'm tired of waiting!

There is a lot of hackers/ farm botters in the game. Teleport miners/botanists and also there are disciple of war or magic teleporting straight to spawned mob to kill it, while they're invisible.

What do you want to do about this ?

What's being done to address the increasing problem with speed runner mentality in regards to bullying players doing dungeons to complete the story who want to watch the cutscenes? Also what is being done about bulling about a so-called "lack of proper equipment"? From what I understand, equipment caps are being implemented to keep people from joining if they ARE underequipped. What I'm talking about is people bullying others for not having darklight armor for dungeons that do not even remotely require to be that heavily geared to beat. Just the other day, I got grief for doing Castrum Meridianum without any darklight. If I tried to elbow my way into a private party that stated from the get go it was for a speedrun and some Darklight was required, it'd been one thing. I signed up through Duty Finder. It's really souring my experience of the endgame, in this type of behavior tends to spread unless dealt with.

Fleece is used in several end game recipes. However, there are currently very few ways to get Fleece. Unfortunately, because the value of Fleece is so high, the karakuls that drop them are a common target of RMT and botters. Are you considering adding more ways to get Fleece? For example, adding more karakuls to the world, or adding the recipe from 1.0 where you could create Fleece from 2 Sheepskin?

The life expectancy of karakuls is currently about 10 seconds. Please help protect the karakuls. Thank you.

This is simply a convenience thing: Would we be able to see a flag on armory equipment icons and/or description boxes that indicate whether that item is included in at least one gear set? I've many times converted or sold gear I thought I was done with, only to find out later that the gear I got rid of was in a gear set of a class I've not played in a while...Once you unlock every class, that's a lot of gear sets to inspect.
