I would very much like it if there were more content in the game that requires solving puzzles or unraveling riddles? This would be a great addition to the game, both in side quests and in raiding, which currently is composed of only 1-2 trash pulls and a boss (basically just going in and fighting a boss and leaving).

Additionally, if you are considering implementing content like this, is there a way to make it random or have different combinations, so that when one is figured out it doesn't immediately become stale and just as much as a waste of time as trash mob pulls?

I feel like Temple Of Qarn attempted to incorporate material similar to this, but fell just short.

Thanks!!!

Why was PvP released in such a poor state? Currently, you could be matched against players in AF1 gear, or against players with full iLVL 100 PvP gear. There's no sense of fairness. What is being done to ensure that content is released in a more "ready" state in the future, so as to keep player interest?

(Releasing in a poor state and letting it languish there for months causes players to lose interest in the content. PvP is really bad right now, and while there are plans to fix it in 2.3, it was originally released in 2.1. This is an incredibly long time to wait for the content to be playable.)

Are the classes and jobs going to be adjusted so they have a classic Final Fantasy theme to them.

Is the Summoner going to be rebalance so it's a Final Fantasy themed pet based job instead of an Affliction Mage with a pet as an after thought.

Will Atma drop rates be made higher? Or at least increasing for ppl who already have one atma but wanna get multiple atma weapons. For example changing it so that having atma weapon increased will drop atmas in fate but at an increasing chance higher than doing it with Zenith?

Speaking of Atma i think the objectives for each zodiac book should be changed depending on job, for example the book of skyfire 1 objectives for monk should be completely different from what a whm has to do in skyfire 1. switch it up so that mnks skyfire 1 would be like whms book 7 or something.. that way those of us doing animus on multiple jobs are surprised eveytime w open a new book.

Will the new classes get awhole new relic quest kinda like how the WoTG and ToaU jobs in FFXI had completely different LB5 battles instead of just fighting Maat like all the old jobs? If something like that doe happen in FFXIV Im guessing it wont happen until a job is released via an expansion and not just an update but one could hope. Would be nice to do relic for thief or ninja only to see its complete different that what Ive done on 4 other jobs already.

The current frequency at which a player gets the status effect heavy by an enemy while they are chocobo'ing through a zone does nothing but irritate everyone. I could see if the enemies could then catch up and knock you off your chocobo forcing you to battle them, but this current system serves no real purpose, and is annoying.

Can you tell us more about the new Crystal Tower raid content that is coming out? Similarly to patch 2.1, will there be only one Crystal Tower instance as opposed to a couple instanced "turns" if you will?

Why does it take so long to be able to store seasonal items in your armoire?

In addition to lvl50 job specific gear, will we be able to store ilvl90 job specific gear in there? Allagan gear? Green colored dungeon dropped gear? Relics? Primal weapons?

I ask because without being able to store these items, we are almost being forced into paying an additional subscription fee for another retainer since there just isn't enough room.
