Suggestion: Use Door/Device Automatically if Key is in Possession (Dungeons)

oh god yes.
But I don't think there's many key+door mechanics in later dungeons.
There are many handing in items quests.
Please let those be automatic too.

As to Haauke Manor, they could change the tiny keys needed for progression to 'Large keys' or something so that it's clear what's optional to pick up and what is not. I can't think of anywhere else where the key/lever etc could be used to open optional areas as well.

It doesn't work that way, though. There are a certain number of keys and you could pick up your minimum required number of keys from any of several locations along the route.

How about make it so optional areas still have the pop up but if a key goes to a specific door no pop up?

Also just giving this a bump for discussion and visibility. I edited my original post to hide the extra info and leave the stuff players can add to send in feedback in game.

I agree. I already implicitly decided "Yes, open the door" when I clicked on the door.

This entire post likely took you more time to write than the combined amount of time it would take you to press all of the "YES TO OPEN LOCK" boxes that you will ever encounter in FF14.

But NOT more time than all the players in FFXIV took to press all of the "YES TO OPEN LOCK" boxes. OP sacrificed their time for the benefit of all. They are the hero Eorzea deserves.
