Subscription Difficulties
Are there any plans to address the issue of setting up subscriptions for those receiving the 401/601 errors?

What changes are on the way for melee classes? As of right now, they are not even remotely close to being on par with ranged DPS. Most raid compisitions are stacking ranged, which usually leaves 1 spot only for a melee class if at all. The server is also constantly doing position checks for AoEs and still players (Mostly melee) are getting smashed even though they're out of the red.

Also, Dragoon Jumps; the bread and butter of the class since the SNES days are mediocre at best, and generally not worth it to use in boss fights as the marginal DPS increase does not offset the higher probability of death because you're essentially stunning yourself inside red circles. Will there be any change to this?

Warriors are paper, and are not viable MTs in coil, is there any chance of a buff?

Any chance we could get any hints about what second Jobs might be released for the current Classes? i.e.- Arcanist has Summoner (DPS) and Scholar (Healer). What second Job will Monk get?

Alternatively, what is a basic time frame on when we might see new Jobs for the current Classes?

Are there any future plans for allowing us to redeem "Trigger" items required during 1.xx gameplay to access Primal Fights, Vortex Headdress, Unmarked Keystones, etc which many player's still have lots of sitting around collecting dust, for Philosophy/Mythology tomes or any uses towards upgrading existing weapons/armor with these items?

Are you going to address the packet loss issue for the NA/EU server that a lot of people are having?

A lot of people have unsubscribed or chose not to subscribe because of this issue.

Square-Enix does not have a very good history customer service, we need more official statement on forums about the state of the game and what are being worked on. Square-Enix need to be more vocal about their game. Learn a thing or two from World of Warcraft, they are the #1 MMORPG for many reason, customer service is one of them.

[Zirael_Foxfire]

When will you introduce Add-on capability?

[Mekhana]

Melee DPS is harder to play than ranged dps and there's not enough incentive to be one. No difference in damage, higher risk, positioning issues and being phased out by ranged dps end game.

Are dragoons and monks getting a buff anytime soon?
