Hi there!
I'm playing Final Fantasy XIV since the 2.0 Beta and was talking to some of my FC Friends about what's missing in '14 and what actually could be better.
First: The Queue for PvP Ranked matches is awfully long, also there are not much different Players in those matches. The Teams will be mixed up a litte, but you play often with the same people, because almost no one is playing PvP at some point.
The most active time is when a new Season starts, of course. But the Players are most likely playing for a Week, get their Ranking Points together and quit until the next Season starts. The Problem here is that they don't lose any Points if they don't fight, they are basically save. It's not impossible to get the Diamond Ranking in a late state, if you put enough effort into it, but it's no fun to wait almost 30 minutes or more per match and play with the same people, over and over again. PvP get's boring and that shouldn't be the case. If you force the Players to keep fighting until the Seasons ends, it would be much more challenging and entertaining.
Second: It was just an Idea, but what about Alliance Raids on Savage difficulty? Wouldn't it be fun to Raid with your FC or other Friends on a different Level? It may attract only people which are in love with Raiding, but i guess it would be great to do some bigger, harder Raids with up to 24 people. Some other Games indeed have this Option and maybe it would be a good thing to increase the possibilitys in Raiding.
Third and Last: This is sure one thing everyone agrees with. We need more Character Customization features. We need more Beards, more Tattoos (like the Male Monk AF, but without the Gear), more Faces, and of course more Hairstyles. The Character customization is way to poor at the moment. I hope you agree with that and think about it until the next Expansion.
I really love this Game and i hope i can help you with this ideas to make this Game even more awesome. Thank you!
