- Are there any plans to address the SMN class mana issues?

Thank you.

Will there be a differentiation in gear for BLM and SMN in the future, or at the very least add viablitity of spellspeed for the SMN class (or perhaps remove/replace it entirely for a more beneficial stat)?

Will there be a re-balancing to close the massive gap between the DoM and DoW class top end DPS output capabilities?

Sooooo, it's been a while since we've heard anything about the Favor Sytem...Any updates you could share would be greatly appreciated! ^_~

With Ishgard being the focus of the expansion and the possibility of it becoming a new city, is there any chance of Ishgard having a living ward like Goblet, Mist or Lavender Beds are?

Personally I think it'd be nice to have a snow themed living area.

Private Houseing is fun and being able to teleport home is a blast, but my friends have to go about selecting the ward and sub division yadda yadda is there any plans to give the option to allow certian friends quick ascess to our place or our fc? Sorta like having a guest list to those who are allowed access.

Are there any plans on eventually easing up on the already insane materia requirements for Novus, especially Savage Aim and Savage Might IV's (which everyone needs) by taking the RNG factor out of the melding and letting the materia meld 100% of the time? Or even allowing materia to be obtained by some other way than the MB (for 750K a piece currently on my server), or by what seems like an endless amount of RNG-related spirit bonding?
