If you could pull one thing from any other MMO and put it in FFXIV, what would it be?

[Yarr]

There are a lot of things I'd love to steal from other MMOs, but the one thing I wish FFXIV had was the LFG queue system that WoW put in during WotLK.

It would be so nice to just put myself into a queue that would automatically form a group based on level, Job and location. Im not looking for instant teleports to instances, Im not even looking for instances. It would just be nice to form a group with out having to spam a /shout macro.

/sea all .

Yeah some way to search for party and /sea all. I would be ok with completely copying the way you look for party in FFXI. Ooh and allow us to enter text that people can read when they find you in /sea all. Like "JP ONLY" or "boulder downs tele: O"

Also show what zone people in friendslist and linkshell are in.

MOUNTS! that would be the best

LoL I must be kinda slow but as of right now I am ok with the content... well I am not saying we couldnt use some. All that I am saying is I cant find enough hours in the day to do what I want.

As far as what I would like to see... it would have to be the ability to level more attributes. For example the way FFXI had all the different types of magic, weapons, evading.. all that fun Jazz. I feel like the fact they did not include it in the game is kind of scary I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out. As far as people asking for "end game" content, I would prolly like a raise lvl cap before we get real end game content.

Hmmm I guess "diversity" of content would be a better description? Right now there is only one decent way to get sp, certain leves w/ aspect. The other is the horrible grind of a few select mobs that look the same. FF11 grind was horrible but you got to go to different locals every few levels, getting there finding camps learning the areas, dodging gobbie trains made the awful grind much more interesting. Options on how to level or making leveling interesting would help.

The class quests is another area to improve upon. I personally felt they were a bit shallow *I leveled carpenter, lancer and archer and liked the lancer quests better due to there being a "plot"*. I was hoping FF14 had a quest style like the dreaded WoW. Yes they may just be collect this, run here, kill this, but they're strung together in a way where it takes you from a beginner area all the way to higher level areas and beyond *again diversity*.

A completely not thought out idea would be to make the leves one off, at least per class/job. Make it like a bounty hunter / mercenary bulletin board/counter and give levequests appropriate to rank spanning different areas *much like it is now* but instead of repeating the same 6 *give or take* over and over, have a branching type thing going on. You start one leve from the low levels and branch out based on that pre-req. Have people join up for the bonus to help you out from time to time for the "dungeon" ones and have those repeatable... *yes it sounds like WoW, it is the one aspect I loved about that game*

Opps, I kinda went off there, heh. To reply the OP: I don't think it's a shame copying other game's mechanics, as long as you give it a Final Fantasy flare. Remember the side quests from FF12? You went about your main storyline and you can pick up quests along the way... That's what I want.

I really enjoyed FF12 for this reason, if they could implement something like you suggested I think that would be super!
