Simplicty - Key factor in moving FFXIV towards Success.

[Nixius]

I mentioned a lot of these on another thread, I agree with everything you have written especially the UI lag, the chat window being incredibly cumbersome (I can't even check if people have spoken to me while I run AFK for a drink easily) and as I mentioned in my thread:

I switch back to archer and now I have my horrible refill quivers ability in the top row where I normally have Raging strikes. I cannot de-equip refill because I am not allowed, therefore I cannot move it around. There needs to be some sort of smart way of 'replacing' one ability with another so you can order it much easier. Very frustrated about this =P.

Of course if there is already I way I apologise in advance and please let me know how! =P

I say bring in some drag and drop. Also It's cumbersome to chat whilst you are crafting.

I'd like to add a couple of things as well I've said in another thread which is not as nicely laid out as this one.

Magic casting could be simplified further - still feels you have to press multiple times to get things done. maybe have the default setting to cast straight away on target instead of prompt to choose the target even though you already have a target.

I think an option that would work for controller and keyboard is to have it instant cast on target when button is tapped. If button is held, then allow player to select a separate target to cast on.

For crafting, I think it takes too many items from too many different classes. Also, the rank requirements to make an item don't match up with the gear being made. I have to be at least rank 14 weaver to make armor optimal for rank 4? Seriously lame.

Cool. Added that in.

Good idea on the holding down button, that could be a middle solution instead of changing default setting which can be good or bad for mages depending on their playstyle.

Thanks for the posts, i have updated the original message with your ideas.
