1. The increased aggro modifiers on tank skills in 4.01 feel heavy-handed. Is this a temporary measure?

2. Many players who play Warrior feel that the job has become clunky, and that the flow that the job was known for in Heavensward has disappeared. There's also issues with "Unchained" being obsolete since its cooldown is tied to "Inner Release", and "Shake it Off" feels like it isn't very useful. What are your thoughts?

3. Many players who play Scholar feel that the job has been simplified too much, that it is too weak compared to Nocturnal Astrologian, and that its ties with Summoner are increasingly becoming a problem. What are your plans regarding Scholar balancing?

4. What's the latest news regarding the new smartphone app?

5. Many players feel that the game's textures are its biggest flaw in terms of graphics. What are the chances of increased texture resolution being added?

I was briefly thrilled when the (English) patch notes said "Players can now use the Undersized Party option to participate in duties introduced after the release of Heavensward." but it actually didn't include new content, only Heavensward content. Will it be possible to consider separating 'unsynced' mode from 'undersized' in the Duty Finder, and allowing 'undersized' on all content, including current primals and raids, just for fun? You can play 'undersized' already but it requires other people to waste their evenings and AFK in the instance while your main group plays; it would be really fun if it was an actual option to challenge content with a smaller team! My group would use it every day!

(It would also be fun for photography and watching the gorgeous cutscenes without interrupting your Duty Finder group.)

Edit: It's fine if it's impossible to clear. That just makes it even more fun for us.
