    Gonna have to be one of those boring guys that whine. Small details like these are nice but I can't help but to think that I sure hope these kind of things didn't take resources out of other things that has higher priority. It reminds me of when I was in school and made some 3D stuff and I could spend hours on just fixing some details of a chair but once I had to show my results I had this fancy looking chair sitting amongst plenty of other mediocre stuff. Spent too much time on tiny details so a lot ended up bad. Considering the many many weird flaws of FF14... Can't help but to think negatively.

    Eh, I don't think the guys that do design for the little things like this are the ones that work on other stuff, like battle mechanics and over all direction planning. I don't really know what flaws you mean, other than the obvious stuff like tomes and general laggy-ness in certain instances.

(I can write much more about targetting but I'm fairly sure this is pretty much an issue most knows about).
    Ah yeah. Been using it so long I didn't even notice anymore xD

    Both of these are obviously incredibly basic for them to fix. The map thing isn't that much of a deal breaker but the chat issues are very annoying.

    Are they related to the chocobo eyes? I don't know, I sure hope not.

    If I scroll up I press ESC to bring it back down.

    Yeah look at that, totally right 'bout that. I knew that ESC brought it back down but I was for some reason under the impression that it did not enable the auto scrolling feature. Sure saved me a lotta trouble.

    Now if you only could magically come up with a fix for the silly targetting design, I could stop being so grumpy.

    You can try proposing an alternative targetting design. Complaining without proposing an alternative has no value.
