Question two. Will character name changing options ever become available for purchase?
Most MMO's out there these days have this option it is not uncommon, I hope you can consider giving us this option.

For those who wanted to change the sex of their character using the potion they had no option to change their name to best suit their new character.
Because of the change in the Female Miquo’te I am unfortunately stuck with a character I am unhappy with, I would like an option to change to a male character but the name would remain feminine this is a problem for me.
I can’t simply start over fresh, I’ve come far too far for that now.
My Legacy character has a relic, everything is lvl 50 and I have put a lot of work into it.

Question three. Will character changing potions be buyable in future?

[Vandark]

Last Question From Me. Will we ever see more ability's and spells become available to our classes and jobs? It seems very limited right now.

Thanks SE + Team

As a guild leader I have some concerns with the upcoming 24 man content.

With the 24 man content will it be tuned in such a way that we can merge our raid groups into one 24 man group so essentially will we need 6 tanks, 6 healers and 12 damage dealers?

As it stands we are optimally running 3 x 8 groups of players for Bahamut's Coil.

Each group consists of 2x Tanks 2x Healers and 4x Damage Dealers.

If for example 24 man content only requires 2 tanks all guilds will have 4 tanks that are only able to do 8 man content with their guild or the tanks will have to wait 3 weeks every time they want to do 24 man content if you rotate them around.

This problem already exists within the current content.. Titan HM for example is optimal with 1 tank / 1 white mage / 6 damage dealers or 1 tank / 3 healers / 4 damage dealers. It is just not as big of an issue yet because Titan HM doesn't have weekly lockouts so you can run it multiple times for all members..

Thanks,

Happystab

uhh why are you ignoring the exploiters botters teleport hackers gil spammers? Yet suspended people who are simply buying there merchandise on the marketboad?

[Hysterior]

Hello,

The number of spammers/bots/exploiters seem to be increasing by the day.
Could you tell us what is being done and how to assist? because some bots reported days ago are still there farming...
Also explain why on the contrary, real crafters had their account suspended and money taken?

Thanks,
From someone who is not sure if he should put anything on the market in fear of getting deleted

Class usage:

I enjoy my Mnk alot. It's fun to play, but since i started endgame, there seems to be no usage for Monks at all. Their dps is nice on paper, but every fight got mechanics that break your chains. Even needed skills like the silence for bahamut are in your chains
ergo: NO one want any Monks in their raid, when you can have a bard that got instantsilence, does more dps,manasong and has less bossspells to dodge.

Question: How about buffing monks? Once you have charges or stance they don't run out? And put silence to be instant available. Besides that, monks will be a dying class (the least effective). At the moment they are not doing the job they supposed to do, just ask raiding FCs: Bards and Summoners everywhere, since they play so much easier and do better DPS

[EraChanZ]

I agree with Basuh's question, but would actually like to extend on it a little bit.

As it stands, Melee DPS classes in general, are only wanted, and I mean ONLY wanted if the group has need for the melee Limit Break.

On paper, damage outputs might've seemed 'ok', but in real scenario's they aren't. As mentioned, first off all if all class would be able to do their maximum DPS output, a monk/dragoon does not outdamage a ranged DPS like Bard/Summoner, in fact, I tend to feel that archers do more damage even then. In reality however, dragons and monks rarely get to use their full DPS output due to boss skills / interupts etc as pointed out.

so:

- Will there be changed made in class balancing, where Melee DPS's get rewarded for their disadvantage in positioning and danger with a higher DPS output?
- Will Bards, not meant as a full-DPS class, be debuffed when it comes to their DPS? (As they already have great supportive skills, silence, etc as well)?

Will we be able to ride any of our other mounts while our Companion Chocobo is out fighting as well?

[Aerogaze]

Will we be able to share our houses with a limited amount of friends? Say, three or four? Maybe we can set it so that they can decorate a certain space...

Stuff like that. D:
