    Timers dialog

    Can you guys move the "Ehcatl Nine Delivery Quests" to the bottom of the Timer's dialog, or get rid of it entirely. I'm absolutely positive more people want to see their "Rowena's House of Splendors" turn-ins, and I'm tired of having to scroll down every single time I want to look at it.

    I still use the Ehcatl provisioning section in the Timers HUD display, so why should SE remove it because you seem to think it's of less worth?

    That's equally like asking for the Grand Company trade-ins prompt to be removed because it pushes the Ehcatl prompt down.

    What should be considered is separating the Timers HUD display into three sections: Provisioning, Allowances and Deadlines.

    Grand Company trade-ins, the Ehcatl delivery missions and Rowena's Splendors could sit into the Provision tabber, the Leve and Map allowances into the Allowances tabber, and the Challenge Deadline and Venture timers be placed in Deadlines. This would suit everyone, create less clutter and assign each timer based on category.

    My first suggestion was just to move it to the bottom. I have no doubt that some people use it, but that one is likely to be the least used.

    And yes, if they have any intention of adding more items to the list (which they surely will as time goes on), then segmenting them into different sections would be ideal. Reordering seemed like the easiest solution in the mean time, however.

    How about letting us customize the order of the entries in the list? Or let us expand the window to include them all? Or let us disable the ones we couldn't possibly care less about (Levequest allowances? Don't care. Ventures? Even less.)

    Ventures are the true endgame, get out of here.

    In all seriousness, I vote that the "Leve Allowance" timer be moved to the bottom because I cannot think of a time when I was tapped out of leve allowances and counting down with bated breath for more.

    Everyone has their favourites. I myself don't that much care of the Rowena thing. I think the suggestion of the category tabs was a good one, would be much like the currency window. The timers list has grown to a point where it's reasonable.

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    I just wish they'd fix the Ehcatl Nine section to actually give the time (which is, after all, the reason such lists are in the "Timers" window). Just always saying "Available Now" is useless. It needs to tell us how long until the reset occurs.

    As far as ordering them goes, things like Leve Allowance and Map Allowance should get lowest billing if it's going to remain in its current window. Better yet, divide it into tabs as Delphor said, or just expand it tall enough to include them all without scrolling.
