    for example I typed /isearch adven and it found:
    Scion Adventurer's Monocle
    Scion Adventurer's Jacket
    Scion Adventurer's Boots
    Adventuring Sweater
    Interesting. Cheers.
    Big problem with that is, though, you are assuming I know what every item is called. lol
    It's high time this small indie company fixes their code. Almost every problem in the game inevitably leads to spaghetti code. It's just sad at this point.

    that's why i illustrated it works with incomplete/partial entries

    like you can type /isearch boots or /isearch shoes... but those will most likely be very long lists

    At no point in its history has Square Enix described itself as a "small indie company". The use of that term is insincere at best. SE is a major corporation with an eye to providing entertainment. SE makes more money through its mobile gaming arm than through its MMOs.

    This game, and its code, is a prime example of what happens when you allow players on PC and PS4 to play on the same servers -- restrictions of one kind or another (including PS3 code that really cannot be easily changed) will crop up. It's why you still can't play Elder Scrolls Online on PC and hope to be connected to your friends on XBox.

    SE could have divided players into realms by platform (PlayStation and PC) like other MMOs do, but they decided that all players should be able to enjoy the game in the same way, whether their friends played on PC or PlayStation. They make it work quite nicely most of the time. But it means that some code is now so deeply embedded in the game that a complete overhaul might as well result in a brand new MMO.

    And that is not going to happen any time soon. Get used to it.

    Yeah yeah "The code is so w/e it can't be done" said everyone in the history of MMOs ever and guess what? Companies have always found a way to make it work. If ideas stopped at "Well it can't be done!" then we'd never get any new features in this game.

    When they can do an achievment log, gathering log, crafting log and fishing log, then why can't they do a glamour log? Just makes no sense to me.

    It’s a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do. Perhaps Emily is more like me than I am like myself. Perhaps she would rather not answer her friends, even. She keeps it all in her heart.

    IDK man, other games have cross-play and don't have FF14s problems.
    I think it's more because of them hastily building ARR on top of 1.x in 2 years in secret while still fully supporting 1.x.
