Gamer Retention: what does FF14 really need?

[Tezz_Xivectro]

Here's my list of changes before the game could be on par with P2P quality (leaving the 1.19 changes out):

Interface tweaks/designs/etc - drag-n-drop, when you hovor/view armor your currently equipped pops up for comparison(green/red color coded stats), trading made faster & more slots, descriptions on food & such, Auction house, delivery, retainer storage made as fast as opening your own or quicker, view all storage from main menu(even organize it), the ability to toggle list or icon view, slot cost removed etc...

Combat & World - Camera shaking when walking over simple little terrain bumps, Jump, a desire to even play the classes(they all seem bland), guildleve difficulty rating balanced more appropriately, regimens/skillchains, dungeons/raids that are not boring & the d/c problem associated with them, partying/searching & more general incentives to do things and not just AFK in town all day.

Crafting/Gathering - Crafting simplified to the point where you can just fix armor in just a single confirmation without long loading, synthesis time reduced to at least half the time it takes now, crafting similar to leves where you just keep crafting after you complete(this is a big one), a quit crafting button, an on-screen display(toggled) of the remaining materials(crystals too) for the current recipe, haven't gathered much lately but it was slow (speed up gather time even more?), why can't i mine in the... mines?.

Quests - quest tracking, many more quests for all levels (at least 10x amount now, even more), repeatables (not leves), completed quests appear on your map, cut-scenes for epic/story quests(but with good purpose), not so much text with all the quests, quests that you don't have to accept in town only to return back to the quest issuer(i guess i mean chain quests that have you explore?), questing/leveling that takes you ALL over the world seeing all sorts of things on the journey.

Linkshells/Companys & Achievements - LS administration page, Company perks from leveling up the Company & completing certain Achievements, Linkshell messages, Company/LS ranks that you can assign to people, a bank, Achievements that reward titles, perks & items.
