Some of your line item entries are already in the works and some won't be needed at all with what they have released that they have planned. Some even have been added and you maybe didn't realize it.

To make your list better, I'd maybe suggest going through and research what has been released on each of these subjects. A few of these things are in the works..

You might also want to add a disclaimer that this is your personal master list, and not necessarily something that has been fleshed out by the player base. Gleaned from the forums yes, but some of these features might not actually be desired by even the majority.

My contribution - quick observations, comments & opinions in Red
3.) Mail system
1.) 1 Hour delivery time? Able to send Items, gil and Messages. (why would we want to wait 1 hour? I remember sending things to friends in FFXI because they needed it right then.. not in an hour. Why make it harder on people? Some people only have an hour to play..)
b.) For instant mail and an extra gil fee a mail man or choco NPC will deliver instantly to player when they log on or wherever they are. (Maybe cute in theory, but could cause issues. Especially if a player who is out in the field is confronted by a mail man, but they have no inventory spaces available to take items...forced to throw items away? Added stress on server when 400 mailmen are out delivering items? I'd rather have my mailbox at my house)

10.) PLAYER HOUSING (suggestion)
1. A retainer bell so you can speak with your retainer at home.

11.) Social list Overhaul
b.) Allow us to accept/decline people when people add us to friendslist (not sure this should matter.. why should we require this? Why require people to be obliged to add someone to their friendslist just so that they can appear on someone else's list? I think it is fine the way it is. )
d.) Allow us to remove friends (I believe you can do this already. I have done it myself removing my husband's old deleted char from my friendslist. Right click on their name in the Friendslist and I believe the option is there - If I remember right)

13.) Market Wards Overhaul

1.)Ability to navigate to your retainer when in ward (Like Gates at end of Guildleve) (sounds like this will not be needed with what they have planned. Whole ward is going to be changed, and you won't be swimmng through a sea of NPC's)

Commands

5.) Allow /invite [Player Name] (We do this because the current add command is long and stupid) (Not sure if you knew, but you can invite to party from your friendslist and they don't have to be sitting right beside you, although they might have to be in same zone... not sure)
6.) Allow us to /check mobs and reply in text with difficulty – I can beat Mobs 13 levels higher than me sometimes and other times get stomped if they are 5+ (There is already a setting where you can add the mobs level and aggro icon next to its name. Its very useful, should check it out. Don't even have to target them to see what level they are.)

Good list OP. Even if the dev team SAID they are working on something, don't take it off this list until it is DONE. No one crosses an item off their grocery list until it's in the buggy, no?

Thanks for the feed back and updates. Made some changes to list and a few items I need to test tonight. Generally speaking I'd love to update this list with a star ranking system for level of importance as well. A lot of this stuff such as in the commands section are low priority and just so we have more options for ways of doing things but at the same time I feel like adding those "options" are a quick and easy thing to add." Like the /check command I could program myself in a day or less. This is why I can't wait till Yoshi opens up 2.0 for Mods. The community can fix all this stuff in a month because there are thousands of programmers willing and waiting for the tools and access while the SE team is only 120ish people.

Suggestions:

Party leader option to mark "Allies" with a marker, and mobs.
Much like in WoW.

The current ones are only useable on the player itself leve-monsters only.
Being able to mark a target before engaging it would be nice.
