The Devs need a much needed thanks!

1. Better aethernet shard travel with the map showing up on screen
Really ? Lol, it's a better map sure, should they be thanked for that as if they did a massive job ? Nope.
2. Activate skills on press rather than selecting a target first. Widely makes combat a lot smoother, especially on controller imo
Okay ? This is very minor.
3. Lottery housing system; you can argue all you want about how housing is still horribly broken, because nobody is denying that fact. However in terms of "improvement" in regards to the method of obtaining a house in a limited plot system; buying a lottery ticket is so much better than camping out by a placard clicking it like an idiot for a magical time window.
Lottery made it easier for multiowners to get additional houses, thanks to new worlds as well for that, not sure in what world it's fixed or even improved.
4. Adventurer Plates; regards to having more options to express our characters; this is a fun addition to the game.
Irrelevant.
5. PvP overhaul. It was practically dead before 6.1 and the individual job reworks, CC and series rewards imo is a much welcomed change from its previous iteration.
Sure, PVP was put back to life a little and then it just died down again because of imbalance.
6. ARR + HW (and future) MSQ dungeon and duty reworks. Improving the sprout experience with adding trusts to these dungeons, introducing boss mechs much earlier and overall presentation to many of the boss fights gives ARR a bit more consistency in regards to the quality presented in HW and beyond.
Irrelevant.
7. UI feature updates such as changing the cooldown timer
Really ? Lol.
8. Compact view for Actions and Traits; helps new players better digest how each skill connect with one another as well as see its upgrades much easier.
Sure.
9. Removed a couple of annoying fluff quests in the Ivalice raids.
Irrelevant.
10. You can actually preview a coffer's contents
How is this anything "major" or something they should be thanked for ?
11. Removing restrictions to a lot of the gender locked items
Sure, I'll give you that one, we are still light years behind in customization though and so many things are still locked, which shouldnt, opening 2 sets isnt helping anything.
12. Added checkmarks to items you've already obtained once before; makes collecting a lot easier.
Once again, it's so minor its literally irrelevant.
13. Condensed the crafting recipe UI
Okay.
14. Hrothgar and Viera have more hairstyles
They still cant even wear helms and hats.
15. Map area markers are more visible
Irrelevant.

I love how you keep saying these are "irrelevant" and minor. Which if you take them individually they are, but all these add up and the game is much better for it. Again, quit with the annoying disingenuity.

Don't forget the duty support system. Personally, back when I was a new player, waiting 30 minutes for a Sastasha run on the Duty Finder simply wasn't a delightful experience, and had I not been doing studies on the side, I probably would've dropped the game.

Don't worry, some people just don't understand the purpose of quality of life features, and just how much they ultimately add and factor into the actual gameplay, regardless of whether they may feel 'minor' or 'irrelevant'
