Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIX! (Exploring Patch 2.45)

As of late the forums and other media have seen a lot of cash shop concerns being voiced.
I would like to talk about two of the new cash shop items introduced in 2.45. Which is the marriage system and metallic dyes, as these items went beyond what players saw coming from the announcements.
We knew that the wedding was coming, but not that we could sell the expensive ones in game for gil. The dyes, we didn't see coming at all and these open up the option to dye other peoples clothing for gil.
These are things where the cash shop/real money is starting to interact with the gil flow and thus indirectly the actual gameplay.

I would like to hear your standpoint on these items? And what is to expect in the future?

I understand the reasons for the dimishment of treasure chest drops for coil due to players running it again, but based on the patch notes, I have a problem with the fact that if over 6 players have run it before, then nothing drops. Buzzkill for the 1 to 2 players who haven't ran it yet under the lock out.

Any chance that this will be changed to allow for a chest to fall all the time, the players who have ran it already will simply only be able to pass on the drop?

For those who are not interested in marrying or doing endgame, this patch was pretty poor. When can we hope to see more casual-friendly features such as customizable options, more casual gear (that does not require high-level crafting and insane amounts of gil, possibly) and most importantly more emotes and /changepose options?

Keeping a large linkshell organized is a lot of work, especially in regards to organizing raid schedules, events, etc and keeping track of active and inactive members.

Is there any chance we can set a short comment for our linkshell tabs in the UI, and be able to see when each member last logged in?

Eternal Bonding and Shared Housing

One of my greatest hopes when I heard about eternal bonding was that my husband and I could buy a house together and share it, however, with the implementation of patch 2.45 this doesn't seem to be an option. Is this something that could be implemented in the future, or should we just buy a house each?

further to this room sharing for couples should also be an option

Could we see a calendar added to the FC tab that we could schedule events on? Most FCs/guilds/etc. I've been apart of in other MMOs have been somewhat difficult to get people to visit an external website to view such events posted. Having one in game would alleviate this quite a bit. We could even have a calendar furniture item that could be hung in an FC house for members to come in and check.
