Right first of all im a pretty casual player but i have been playing the game on and off since ARR and overtime i do love the game to bits.
But i have come a cross quite a few mild to medium level annoyances that makes me go ugh why is it like this.
Like why is there no easy way quickly sort retainers inventories like you can do with your own.
Why is there no quick way to post multiple stacks of the same item at once to the market board why do i have to manually enter the price and post them one at the time
Why is there no easy way to filter out / hide items that my race/gender cant use
as well as filter out emotes / hairstyles i already have.
Why cant i go to bed properly in my own house / apartment no cute animation and my character keeps waking up outside in her PJ's
Why cant i set it so by default vendors i talk to will show items for my current active job why do i have to go down a massive list then a drop down menu each time.
Why do jobs that has zero use of MP still have a MP bar.
And along those lines why is there no way to have the option to replace the MP bar that is useless with a more useful a job gauge resource bar.
Like for example for MCH it would be turned in to a heat gauge bar with maybe some blue lightning bolts or something in one of the corners of the bar to indicate your battery level.
Just a idea or just give use a option to hide the MP bar and maybe give us the option to put our MP / resource bar below your HP bar instead of next to it.
Why is there no way to make the target bar shorter and thicker i want to short and girthy.
Have the Display log Message for emotes disabled by default OR limits it post rate i have seen so many players spamming emotes not aware that the emote message spams out everyone's chat
Player chat bubbles for speech would be a nice implementation
Some Job abilities take up unnecessary hot bar space for no real good reason for example on mch Heat Blast and Auto Crossbow are completely dead outside of your overheat windows.
Easy way to clean it up is to simply have Hypercharge
Turn in to Heat Blast and Spread Shot become Auto Crossbow during the overheat window.
The Rook / Queen summon should also turn in there forced finisher action Rook/Queen Overdrive for the same reason wildfire turns in to detonator by default sometimes the target might die before the end of its natural duration and you would want to pop it early
The MCH 3 button combo can easily be condensed to one button but this might be a bit much
Im sure some other jobs have similar things that could benefit by being condensed just some thoughts and ramblings of things i notice is a play this lovely game and think could make the game better.
