What happened to the content regarding Ishgard and their war against the dragons?

Is there any way you can tell us more about how the Vanity System will work? I know it isn't coming out until 2.2 probably. But I am so looking forward to the Vanity System so I can give my character a much more unique look. I love the gear designs but just like most Final Fantasy games I'd like to define my character by their outfit. Since we are already restricted by class/job on what we can wear I'd still like to have heavy armor leggings for my black mage on top of a nice top and cool gloves. which is no different than turning say Barret or Red XIII a main healer or caster with materia. I think that the vanity system should not be restricted to just what the class can where as vanity just my opinion since we already have class icons in party.

Will there be any changes to the dropped crafting materials?

As a Weaver, my biggest point of frustration has come from trying to obtain materials like Fleece or Diremite Web, when these enemies are always completely locked down by other people.

I agree completely, it wouldn't be so bad if the prices to buy these items on the AH were cheap, but they are not due to bots, heavy farming, and the NEED for them for crafting. things wouldn't be as locked down if:

A) there were more mobs that dropped the item in more then just one area thus giving option to 2 farming areas versus being able to gather it all up in 1 spot burn it down and wait...
B) there was a quicker spawn rate attached so that more are available to fight over instead of 3 people sitting around for 3-4 mins waiting for 1 monster to spawn...
C) they dropped in bigger quantities so that farm time is reduced

anyway you look at it there is a problem that needs a fix...

You don't have to compete with other players for Diremite Web. There are Levequests that rotate between 10 webs and lightning shards.

Are there any plans in adding a currency exchange system like trading GC seals for tomes?

[Dyvid]

Also are there plans in add "end game" FATEs and Guildleve?

[TaroMaruRidill]

We get our chocobo license from our grand company. We have an item that lets us reset our avatars attribute points for 10k grand company seals. My question is, will you add something similar to reset chocobo skill points through the grand company? Thank you.

[Animeinfection]

Will summoners be getting new summon pets? If so which and who will they be?

[Vmage]

Are there plans for any form of content that can progress a character other than levels and gear?

Faction/Reputation?

Merits/Alternate Advancement/Realm Abilities?

in short - something to do once we've gotten every job to 50 and have cleared coil for the week
