If Square-Enix directly asked you for suggestions...

[DNO]

hmmm lets punish ppl that don't play as hardcore/as much as casuals by not making them as effective. yeah no to this.

I disagree ESO has merit points, ff11 has merits I don’t see how people who play less will be any less effective than hey are now. Hardcore will always be better that’s life I just think the gear grind is what makes people bored. Lets add different ways to make the grind less boring. Instead of just using roulettes for points let them give end game xp that we can use to power up etc.

35. Few more classes or jobs that start at level 1
36. Enemy skill materia
37. New job Evoker(since I don't think SMN will be gutted at this point, this class can summon one and done avatars to do different skillsets)
38. Subscription rewards(you sub to XIV, you get the other two mmorpgs XI/DQX or one for half price)
39. Server wide mounts after you get one class/job per server on subsequent next jobs/classes leveled
40. 10 Sets of server wide glamour, allows you to share 10 sets of specific glamour with any other character you leveled on same server.

I don't think I could run out of wishes but I am going to stop after this last one.

Revisit and make guildleves something to do between the normal grind.

• You go solo or party up
• Grab some leves
• Guildleves act like a quick access to various types of content
• You get it done and return back to the normal world

I suppose I shouldn't be shocked that so many of these suggestions are asking for easier content (people, amirite?) but I kinda am. Also disappointed. Easier crafting? Really? Ugh.

I very much agree about housing and glamor suggestions that have been made, glamor log specifically would be the biggest QoL improvment I've seem in this game.

In terms of actual combat I would like the ready check to mean something - so many times I've had new players asking for explainations and a tank pulls before I can get it all out. If they added something like 2 or more players not clicking ready will keep anyone from being able to pull the boss that would be nice. Not indefinitely, maybe just capped at 20 or 30 seconds, enough to hash out a quick rundown of what to expect. This would mean forcing ready checks at the start of a trial/raid but I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily.

I would add more hairstyle examples: FFXI Prishe

I would literally kill for this. Well, kinda. Maybe. Sorta. But I'd honestly want this for my character. I would actually switch my race to a similar elf-like shorter character if it meant having access to this current hair style. Prishe has always been one of the main reasons I absolutely loved CoP's story from FFXI.

I actually didn't mind the system with merits in XI. It was one of the things I could do in my off time, and helped balance stats further on the classes I played, but it was a time sync I could get into outside of endgame content and to stay my boredom lol. However, make it a decision based system. It's not MANDATORY, but if you wanted to help increase your stats and dps, you can do it. Not everyone will, but everyone who wants to be in that competitive market has that option. Your gear takes care of most of those issues as is the higher the ilvl and BiS the gear is. But that if you decide to want to use it or do it further, you could essentially do so. Again, people choose their static and teams. So those who want to do that endgame content and be in that market, can help increase their own stats with the merit system. And for those who want more casual content, they wouldn't need to do it.

You get rated up for an EPIC forum name.

“Nearly every good idea you add is ruined with rng. Stop it.”

[Galborion]

1) Fix your game client so we don't get DX11 crashes anymore (which is happening ONLY in this game).
2) Glamour log
3) More houses, option to resize your house if you have enough resources.
4) Horizontal gear progression.
5) Automated watering of gardens for times we cannot be online (precharged for a set number of days)
6) Option to water/fertilize our gardens at one click
7) Crafting from retainers inventory (I mean c'mon, its 2017 not 1995)
8) Remove light party restriction from company crafting. It servers no purpose and we did not hear a single word for 2 years since your initial promise that you'll look into it (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3535721 )
9) Bulk crafting of basic mats (or make swiftcraft actually swift....)
