In game interface suggestions

[RitsukoSonoda]

So I'm really getting sick of all the in game spam to the point you can call it harassment from these RMTs. They flood you with /tell spam, spam you constantly with friend requests, and sit in the main cities spamming shouts as well. Something in the game itself needs to change.

Some thoughts are making the ability to send tells to people not on your friendlist and to even send out a friend request into features unlocked in story progression.

A couple user interface additions I would like to see though if the first suggestion is deemed "not viable" would be the following.

-A clear all button on the blacklist screen. Part of what makes blacklisting RMT such a pointless endeavor is that when the list gets full you have to spend a fair amount of time removing each name 1 at a time.

-A /anon command that would prevent your name from appearing in player searches. RMT spammers pretty much just do player searches and spam the names that appear.

I like these ideas.

That said, the devs have said for some time, they are very, very limited in what they can do with UI due to the PS3 RAM limitations. They explained in the past, that simply adding things like new buttons to the interface was quite challenging as they had to do some acrobatics on the back end to make it so the PS3 could still display all the UI elements at the same time.

Once PS3 support is dropped at the end of Heavensward, I would expect to see a lot more QoL improvements in terms of UI.
