Can we get a version of the Tonberry Stalker from Wanderer's Palace as a mount?

There seems to be an alarming number of bots in game based on posts on the FFXIV subreddit. Are there any efforts currently going on to remove those bots and make it harder for people to create bots in the game?

Shoha in its current state has a really great visual effect, but can only realistically be used once per fight, if even that in some cases. Even if it gets to max charge, it still feels bad to even have on the hotbar, let alone use. When will Shoha be changed to no longer be attached to Meditation?

Can u remove cover and shield bash for Paladin they are dated and clunky, I know cover is a niche but I’d much rather remove that and make our group shield also effect PLD.

Could you please not do this?

In ShB, you have decided to change fundamentaly how we play and enjoy playing SCH and AST after all the years.
Why did you choose to destroy some of the core essence of these jobs to bring them near the WHM while you could have just have make this last more interesting ?

[Ceasaria]

Why did you choose this Pure direction for every healers, while you could have WHM/AST (without Nocturnal) as Pure and SCH/4th healer for Shield ?
It would have been much easier to balance 2 and 2 without stripping their identity instead of doing an homogeneization of our 3 healers.

[Ceasaria]

Why do you keep persisting to have two stances with AST, Diurnal and Nocturnal while during all these years you didn't seem to want or know to balance with SCH ? If you want to keep Nocturnal, make it different (shields based on duration), and interact with other part of the AST kit.

[Ceasaria]

Why did you choose to destroy the essence of the AST, the different buffs via cards and the possibility to add duration on buffs, and to concentrate your effort on the only thing which didn't work well during these 4 years : his stances and particularly Nocturnal stance ?

[Ceasaria]

Is it intended that SCH must keep his aetherflow stacks or even refresh without using all of them ?
Can you give us Energy Drain or some kind of similar ability (maybe AoE) to make the gameplay more interesting and rewarding ?

[Ceasaria]

Why did you choose to transform Selene into a glamour fairy while you had the possibility to create an interesting duality, or even swap (Dissipation rework) between both to benefit of a various effects ?
