    Inventory Management / Friend List Management

    Inventory - Groups
    Using many classes (DoW, DoM, DoH & DoL) requires having their full equipments ready in the inventory, as well as food and other items. And as you get them to a higher level, more equipments and items are needed, and you'll end up having at least 150 items (up to 200) which is kinda confusing. It's so annoying to look for the new looted piece of equipment you just got. The inventory is just messy and it might even discourage you to level a new class because you know you'll need to add more stuff to the mess.
    So I'd like to suggest giving us more management options for our Inventory. Like being able to group items/equipments together and naming that group:
    WAR equips / DRG equips / Mages Rings / Food / DoL items / Key items
    I think that will make things much better and easier for us.


    Friend List - Notes
    As for the friend list, I think it's so great that we can add up to 200 players in it. But we need to be able to do more than just "add" and "remove". After playing for a year and a half, I have around 100 players in my list (after removing the inactive and unreturning ones) and the problem is that I don't remember why I added many of them, and let me explain why:
    After being in an exp party, usually 2 or 3 of them tell you that (If you plan on making another party later, please let me know.) So you add them to the list for future lv.40+ exp parties.
    After being in Ifrit / Moogle / Garuda fights, you befriend new people who are ready to redo the fight anytime you want.
    But after a while you forget who got added for what..
    We need to be able to add "Notes" to the people in our friend list, so we can put a note on each new person we add and remind ourselves why and for what we added them.


    I think these two are very important and they need to be looked at.

    We know the inventory system is changing with 2.0 so perhaps it will make it easier, but it's always nice to group things together.

    Love the friends note idea.

    From what I understand of the inventory system in 2.0 armour won't be kept in the inventory in the same way as it currently is.

    Equipping a piece of armour, weapons or accessory to a mannequin will remove it from your inventory, the inventory will be arranged like 5x5 grid with icons (similar to how WoW and other MMO's displays their inventory) you will be able to drag and drop items from one bag to the other and arrange them to your liking.

    I hope in 2.0 we get notification for friends coming online similar to how XBL and PSN display a pop up box when someone comes online. (they could extend this feature to include linkshell members and free company members via the settings)

    but how would that work that u macro them to jobs? the unequiped stuff will go automatically 2 the first bag and get messy again? x.x i hope they will have slot memory, so it would go back to its previously chosen bag or slot

    Well you won't need to macro jobs as each mannequin will basically be a armor swap.

    You will have multiple mannequins, I duno if the mannequin is an actual item within the inventory, kind of like a bag within a bag.

    Guess we need more details on that.

    I agree though that it would be cool if we could assign bags to sort new drops into specific bags, but thats probably more hassle than the dev team want.

    You could probably do that through addons though.
