    Lavender. It's dull, unappealing and doesn't excite me one bit about the spike damage I've just dealt or the awesome item I just received. I'm going to cite FFXI in regard to this, because the standard bright green on yellow text just got me excited about even the most common of treasures:

    You find a beastman's seal on the wild rabbit.
    You find a beastman's seal on the wild rabbit.

    Now, can anyone see what I'm talking about? No jokes about the stark yellow text on the light background, please! :P

    What has been seen cannot be unseen. You know what? This didn't even bother me until I just read your post. I just wish this game had the small attention to detail like XI was given. Something this small really bothers me now haha.

    Aaaaaargh eyecancer! Damn you! Now I can never look at the chat window again without my eyes starting to bleed (x_x).
    But you are right. Sometimes it's really hard to follow the log 'cause of the lack of emphasis.

    Things that bothered me (not related to text color, but that's a good point):

    Logging in and seeing: "Welcome to Eorzea! Welcome to Wutai!" A little repetitive.

    That and the whole "You find blahblahblah." "You obtain blahblahblah." But I understand the purpose behind them both...

    Oh well.

    In regards to the OP, I guess I have to agree. It's harder than it could (should?) be to see what dropped.

    Wow yeah, I was doing some nm camps the other day and it took my eyes a bit more to pick out the drops in the log. I already filter most things from chat, but item drops just don't stand out from everything else.

    For those of you that never played FFXI but hate it and hate anyone that suggest anything FFXI related, this is what it looks like:

    Yeah, I've definitely complained about the same thing before. I really wish they would add simple stuff like this.

    Insulting people in the counter argument isn't going to change their minds. It will make them stick harder to their opinion regardless of whether or not it's right, and think less of your opinion simply because you insulted them. In essence, if you want to try and change someone's mind, come up with a well thought-out response and don't be a dick.

    While I like the lavender better than the yellow/gold color found in FFXI, I would like to see them make item names a different color to make them more noticeable.
