Some things that really bug me in this game

[Pooky]

1. Why is it not possible to invite someone unless they are 2 feet from you or on your friend list?
2. Why can't I see where in the world people on my friend list or linkshell are at any given time?
3. Why do I have to un-equip my gear, then seek repairs on them, then re-equip once repaired?
4. Why can't I change any graphics/sounds settings from within the game?
5. Why are food effects so vague?
6. Why is it when crafting, I am using fire shards and a harnessed ice element gets unstable?
7. Why is it so hard to figure out who is online in your linkshell currently? People who are online, but have a different pearl equipped show up as grey, with the green light, but so do people who are online with your pearl equipped. But some others show up white. Its very confusing

People that show up white are within your vicinity.

Everything else you said is probably being worked on but yes, a little annoying I agree.

No in-game options is one of the most infuriating things about this game.

You can invite people to a party from far away with /pcmd add Their Name

I see, that helps I guess. Wish it were clearer though, who really thinks of typing something like /pcmd to invite people?

/pcmd add First Last
Works across the world every time I do it.

Edit : I'm to slow =)

There is also a reason for crafting elements becoming unstable. I'm not a crafter so I won't attempt to explain as I know others are more knowledgeable on the subject.

It is in the games instructions on Lodestone under text commands. It explains all the party commands and other keyboard commands.

3. Why do I have to un-equip my gear, then seek repairs on them, then re-equip once repaired?

I don't want someone repairing my subligar while I wear it

I think it's on lodestone and stuff but yeah at a minimum they should have an in-game listing of the text commands that's easy to view.

In real life does a blacksmith repair while you wearing it? no they don't there your answer for this question.
