I simply cannot get out of regular circular AoE attacks with my Au Ra character (without Sprint, that's it). I was able to achieve this before with no issue at all as Lalafell. Have you tested this? Are we suffering the same issue we suffered at the beginning of ARR with Roegadyns?

Are there any plans to make any changes/modify hunts so they cater to a wider population due to the hype from the latest expansion?

Will FATEs from the expansion have better scaling compared to 2.0 FATEs like in North Thanalan?

What are the plans to fix this issue 90k 2002 I keep getting those back to back.

I know the worlds are big any plans in moving them or expanding the server that hold the world?

Will the Dark Knight get buffed in terms of dps? warrior seems to be the better OT and Paladin seems to be the better MT so where does Dark Knight stand? it feels like Dark Knight is the Warrior 2.0 and it needs to be buffed to be in par with the other two tank classes.

Also there are a lot of complaints about Dark Knight's MP consumption. When we get regen in Darkside mode, our MP drains like crazy and we can't make much use of DA since it already consumes a lot of MP. Every tick of regen drains our mp and yes it's a complex job, however, this does not justify the huge bugs this class has.

Abysal Drain only drains hp from one target, yet you hit multiple targets therefore you should drain hp from all targets that get hit by this skill?

Is it possible to have Blood weapon active when in Grit stance? I mean, Dark Knight has a lot of MP consumption already and with all those medica's and regens, Dark Knight's mana is drained so fast.

With the Dragoons fighting pet wyvern model from XI making it into Anyx Trine, when will you add them as the fighting pet for dragoons in XIV?

Adding the updated model, and not granting it to the dragoons, is just infuriating all dragoons that want their wyvern.

Are there any plans to fix the visual glitch where long weapons (Spears, Greatswords) shake unusually when running?

What was the reason for making the 4th tier combos on Dragoon a random proc? For a job that prided itself on having a very set rotation, this seems odd.

Things I would like to see addressed:

1. Grand Company rank expansions. Been years waiting for this....
2. Mounting other mounts while company chocobo is out.
3. Being able to join Duty Finder while chocobo is summoned. Can do with Arcanist pets but not with chocobo's??
4. Balance changes for Machinist and Bard. Both feel EXTREMELY weak now and are being out DPS'ed by White Mage's???
5. Armory bonus at 100% for all levels not just under 50. Fate, dungeons, and level grinding from 50-60 is a massive nightmare. Just getting the first job to level 60 took a crazy amount of subquests mixed with duty finder spam and without it it is brutally hard to get other classes level to try the playstyles.

When will we finally be given new ranks to the Grand Company? Some of us have been waiting since 1.0 and would like to see new ranks.

Is there any plans to expand the FC chest? With all the new materials and the materials required for Airship building, that leaves us little room to exchange gear and crafting mats with fellow FC members. Even before 3.0, there was not enough space when you have an FC with over 100 members. We would like to see 2-3 pages at the very least added.
