Animation, cool, I got it, but it's to long. Make it faster, cut it in half, or just get rid of it. I can honestly care less about some animation between me and my result. I just sit there and mash the button wishing the process moved three times faster.

Couple selections have to be added.
Abort Snyth
Repeat Synth

Abort Synth, there are those times when the synth just goes horribly and you know you are not going to finish it. So why keep going? Waste of time. Give us the ability to abort the synth. Yes, we will still take the loss in items, no big deal, this is all about TIME.
Repeat Synth, there is no need for us to go back through the whole selection process if we are skilling up. None whats so ever. All we need is "Repeat Synth" and ONE Window that Confirms the items needed and the button Okay and Cancel in that Window. Way it sits now, there is four selections. My method just cut it to two.

Tired of the Time Sink! Had enough of it from FFXI. How about that ability to hit another button that just calculates the chances of success and the synth is either successful or fails with ONE Animation.
