I'm confused by some of the restrictions we have.

[Ninster]

1. Duty Finder queue pops. I can't teleport, gather, or much anything else, but apparently I can still hop the nearest zone line and change zones after I've hit Commence. As someone that likes to stay busy, 45 seconds is JUST enough time for me to get a bit annoyed by what little we can do while waiting for Healer #6/DPS #15/that one tank to never come back from afk.

2. "Cannot execute from this location."
a. Wording. I can nudge my character in all directions but this won't fix it, but tilt the camera just right and no problems.
b. Why is my character suddenly blind because something's obstructing the camera?

3. Pop-ups in dungeons. I mean, if one person had sole control of opening doors I could understand this being a thing, but it's not like I can troll the other 3 players by just refusing to open that one door we need to proceed. At the very least I'm glad this defaults to "yes".

4. That one error message (I forget) that happens when you attempt to log back in after a disconnect too fast. Is there some reason this couldn't force your previous login to close, or AT LEAST could we have some sort of status icon on the character select screen so we wouldn't have to just randomly guess as to when we're able to log back in again?

5. More forums related than anything, but the 1000 character limit I'm going to no doubt have to edit this post to bypass. I like my walls of text. ;_;

No, this is SE's design style, to ask you to verify things. It could easily be removed, but they have their reasons im sure. In some instances its to prevent mistakes (Adding materia to an item or something similar), and to help prevent misclicks that lead to heart ache and GM tickets. Why they put it on doors and stuff im not sure.

You left out a lot of the most annoying ones. Such as only getting four mails before no more can come in. Not being able to send your alt a in game mail. Heck not even being able to give rights to your alt even if you have them in your FC and can click on their name.
Then there is not having a pet And a mount out. No minions in dungeons. Not being able to talk to friends in tells while in dungeons.
The list litterally goes on and on. But these are some i just can't wrap my head around.

I don't think this is accurate, I logged in to 5 mails today? 4 from a friend and 1 from SE.

I would like to add, no communications via link shells or FC chats during pvp. Some can say it's understandable, but for me it's a pain in the ass if someone asks me a question for example, I get my que to pop and people think you ignore them for 15+ minutes just because you can't answer lol.

This! So much this! So So much this.

And the obvious no choco while waiting for PF!! (Yeah I know the reason and blah blah blah.... but still...)

Oh, and FC chat in pvp too!

I pretty much only disagree with minions in duties. As crappy as the targeting in this game can be, adding minions would make it more of a train wreck.

the limit is 20 items inside mail attachments. you can get 20 mails no problem.

You can turn minion targeting off, so no it wouldn't. ^^

I like click-targeting. And I like interacting with minions outside of the dungeon. There is literally no reason to have them out inside of a dungeon since you are supposed to focus on clearing the content anyway, not play around with your little ball of adorable pixels, so I don't see why I should keep on changing my targeting settings just so you can have something out that is only disturbing the flow of battle inside the instance anyway.

Stuff like no minions in dungeons and no outside chat in PvP might be annoying, but there is a very real and obvious reason for them; it's to make people focus at that task at hand.
And, while it is annoying that you can't do stuff anymore after duty popped or that you can only recieve a certain number of items, I think it's pretty clear that technical limitations are at work here.

The "Do you really want to open the door?" is the only thing I seriously do not understand.
Especially because they DO have doors that start the opening loading bar by simply interacting with them, no extra questions asked.
Now I see how it could make sense if opening a door was a trigger for the monsters behind it to attack you, but that only happens at exactly ONE single door in all of FFXIV, Haukke.
So it's not even like the question is a hidden "Are you prepared to start the fight?" because even if you open the door, in 99,9999% of all cases no fight starts through the opening of the door.

Well, and the character limit on the forums, yeah.
Get rid of it already. I understood during beta, but how come we still have a beta stage forum several years after release?
