Thread: Will v. 2.0 feature item linking in chat?

This would be nice and I'd think their new UI could support it...

Not really an issue. They've already said that they are going to support user made addons in 2.0 but said that they will only work for PC. (at least in the beginning)

SWTOR was the first game i played that supported this, and i liked it. So i support it here.

If FFXIV developers didn't even think about this, I wonder if they're qualified developers for MMO for not doing market research.

Even this.

I support this thread!

I definitely like this idea, but like others have said, there's an issue with PS3 users. If I went to PS3, I don't want to use a keyboard and mouse and pretend like I'm still on a PC. I want to use my controller like I'm on my PS3, just get the mini keyboard deal you can buy for the controller to chat with. So if this actually happened, a player on the PS3 should be able to link using their controller and not have to use a keyboard/mouse. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Reason for my saying this is because I enjoy FFXIV as a console-style MMO, and what I mean by that is one where the mouse isn't needed. Honestly to me it seems like a big hassle to use, especially in this game at the moment where the only use of a mouse I've found is adjusting the camera.

Also, these are just my opinions so no need in flaming me for my thoughts ...

Maybe make it a selection in the items menu? You can chose to bazaar an item, repair an item and then have a "link" selection you can choose for PS3.
