Some improvements for GS

[BreathlessTao]

Some suggestions to improve the experience of spending time in the GS - I know game mechanics can also be argued, but those are an entirely different subject, I think.

Please restrict the execution of skills/spells. Some people seem to get a kick out of spamming those inside and it's annoying, especially during GATEs. (Yes, I'm aware of the option to turn others' battle effects off, however I don't believe it's a workaround one should be forced to switch on and off to enjoy different parts of the game.)

Please disallow minions inside (and summoner pets, though that's implicit in the previous). It would help reduce clutter at the very least.

Please reinstate auto-logout for AFKers, especially those in GS. It could do a lot to decrease congestion and general overcrowdedness.

Please create some form of barrier around NPCs (especially GATE keepers) so that they don't vanish in the swarm of PCs, making it difficult (sometimes even impossible) to see or click on them.

Please move the Mini Cactpot Broker to the Cactpot Board. His separate placement is just totally random (maybe even somewhat confusing) in my opinion.

Please split the map into floors, like basically every other map is. In its current form, it can easily hinder navigation instead of helping it.

Please have proper NPC names show up in the tooltip of their map markers. This general "Gold Saucer Employee" does not help navigation at all, as there are dozens of them.

Thank you.



ON A SIDENOTE, DISABLE FORUM CHARACTER LIMIT ALREADY, PLEASE. IT CAN BE CIRCUMVENTED, THUS THE ONLY PURPOSE IT SERVES IS ANNOYING THOSE WHO WISH TO POST ELABORATE PIECES OF TEXT.

The character limit tells you to be more concise with your writing .

I agree with some of these but I disagree with others, the minions for example. I love my Fat Cat, I waited patiently for my retainer to come back with him, I have him out everywhere I go. I don't want to not be able to have my Fat Cat with me in the GS...

Also, auto-logout, the only time Tonberry had a hard time with congestion in the GS was when it first came out and when the jumbo cactpot was being drawn. There have been no other times where the GS has been so congested that no one could teleport to it or leave the Chocobo Square back to the main hub.

I think with the spamming it is harder to do, they could disable all abilities in the GS but then people would find another way to be annoying. Much like the emote spamming before the dance-off GATE.

I like the mini cactpot broker at the main counter, that's something I do every day so having it near everything else makes sense. The jumbo cactpot is a once a week thing and makes sense being off in it's own little corner.
