  2. If you start off your designs with scalability in mind, you would have built the option at the beginning.

Looking forward, there will be a lot of UI elements that will run into your 1280x720 limitation. Especially when the player-made add-ons come into play. Please, please, please do not limit resolution on player-made addons. Add-ons exist for customization, it is so we can each get exactly the UI we want. Any such limit on PC add-ons defeat the purpose of add-ons.

I'm very worried about the future of the UI. It seems the UI team work only to be satisfactory at the lowest level. Little room for customization is provided, and where they are provided, they're are very restrictive and cater to the lowest hardware specs. Nothing in the UI is ever made to cater to better specs.

Please put 1920x1080/1200 along side 1280x720 when you design future UI elements. You boast how you compare colors and performance on different major brands of displays, yet you never consider the usability on high resolution. It gives the impression that the work is always half-done.
All i can say is that SE -better- support add-ons that will give us better customization on our UI. WoW had a lot of different varients, but somehow i doubt Square will allow much to be done.. if it's ever released, anyway.

"Please look forward to it" I guess.. though, as always we'll be hearing "I'm sorry" and "Please be patient" afterwards...
