Is there any chance of there being an option to toggle visor automatically whenever a weapon is drawn / put away?

Will we ever get hard modes for the CT raids?

Could you please for the love of the twelve fix the goblet housing issue?
The goblet houses have a border on the floor that makes it so you cant place furniture against the walls. This creates a disadvantage in usable space and decoration for goblet homes compared to the other housing areas.
Linked below is a thread with detailed pictures of the problem. Thank you for your time.

In regards to the level increase in 3.0:

Will we be seeing a gated level increase like we saw in FFXI with the Maat quests (Bringing back Maat would make my freakin' year) in an attempt to keep past content relevant? Requiring anyone who has not level-broken their character to gear up to participate in a boss fight to raise their level cap (Per character. Per job would incite much whining, I think... Though I'd be all for it!)

I would hate to see old content die off like it does in other MMO's (*coughwowcough*) every time a new expansion comes out.

The Four Fiends of Elements

Bosses from the earlier Final Fantasy games that became rather iconic and have not made appearances in quite a while. Perhaps we could see these return at some point?

Class/Job system

Just admit that you're changing it in the expansion!

We all know that Yoshi-P dislikes the current system, he's stated it many times that he wants to change it. Dark Knight will not have a base class and Yoshi-P has mentioned that he can't talk about why. Fine, don't talk about it. But at least let us know that this is on the way. It's probably my biggest gripe about FFXIV (And there honestly aren't many).

When the story of Doga and Unei will continue? Are we gonna have next tower after Syrcus Tower?

Things I miss from FFXI

I know, I know. FFXIV ISN'T FFXI. I get that. But XI had some amazing things in it that I was really hoping to see carry over into XIV. I won't bother mentioning the subjob system, that boat has sailed. But can we get something that at least resembles the Skillchain system in-game? There was nothing more satisfying than chaining attacks together with other players to initiate a pretty (And deadly) elemental effect on your enemies. The timing and coordination necessary brought a really interesting depth to what was otherwise very boring combat. Some people don't like spamming the same three or four moves endlessly, and giving us the option to participate in a skillchain would be a welcome change of pace. Just... think about it?

Materia

Other than using it for spiritbonding to get higher-level materia that's useful ONLY for Crafting or for the Novus relic upgrade (And there are only 2 or 3 kinds of materia worth using, at that... Crit, Determination, and Accuracy... And Accuracy is only worth using because the price of the other two at level IV is 700k on my server...), can we do something else with this system? Maybe... get rid of it? It takes a prohibitive amount of time and money to fully meld crafting gear in order to break into the "End Game" crafting. There's GOT to be a better way to do this. Please consider something a bit more friendly (Hell, I'll even take regular grinding over this nonsense!) for the expansion.
