Returning player. My thoughts on QOL changes.

[RyomaUchi]

Don't get me wrong. I just got back from a few years break. Some of the points i mentioned feels like a intentional time wasting mechanics. How often do I have to cancel a teleport is miniscule compare to the ones thats correct. So is the tome cap that i have to go to a ventor every time i get 2k tomes.
The first thing i notice is that a lot of my friends all transfered to a raider focused data center. Because i came back late during the patch, for every content i missed i had to data center transfer to even have the chance to get a party going. The feels horribel.

Inventory is a such a mess when i open it. We have a lot of stuffs that we can trade or sell. At the same time we also have a lot of stuffs that we can not sell but only discard. The amount of different items in my inventory is insane.
Tradable: Crafting gathering mats, Crafted midtier parts and gears, Materias, food, potions, Dyes, darkmatters, housing items and a lot more.
Untradables: Totems, books from savage raid, untradable dyes, tokens from different raids, timed currency, other currencies etc. I have mainly saved those books and parts from savage raid for glam purpose. After a few years break. I litarally have to fact check every unsellable item with web before discard.
Give us extra tabs in our inventory to seperate different type of items. We already have a similar system implemented like the keyitem tab+ shards/crystals (Icon + numbers).
It will be great if u can expand the same system to seperate items in tabs like keyitem tab and shards.

To be fair, it's an MMORPG. These are famous for wasting your time. This game does it one of the least because it wasn't afraid to abandon a lot of time-wasting concepts, but time-wasting mechanics are still there, especially in the sense of motivating people to do content over the long term (such as daily bonuses, weekly caps).

People playing over the long term keeps the content active for a longer period so that the game doesn't completely drop off after the first week of content release.

Teleport times are just a lore thing. MMOs historically would make you literally walk/run/mount to places, such as raids, which meant your group could be waiting ages and ages for you to arrive. So a short teleport cast is arguably a better compromise that still respects getting somewhere within the lore.

The first thing i notice is that a lot of my friends all transfered to a raider focused data center. Because i came back late during the patch, for every content i missed i had to data center transfer to even have the chance to get a party going. The feels horribel.

That is a recent issue caused by the release of Data Center Travel. They are aware of it. So we'll just have to see what they come up with to solve it.

Well you can sort it. In the little inventory UI it shows the items as a color to indicate what type of items are where. There are auto-sort options too.

we also have a lot of stuffs that we can not sell but only discard.

These are generally currencies. Their advice is you can delete old currencies (from prior expansions or patches). People have requested it all go in the currency window for years, but at this point in the game, the currency window would be flooded with hundreds of currencies if they did that.

Tradable: Crafting gathering mats, Crafted midtier parts and gears, Materias, food, potions, Dyes, darkmatters, housing items and a lot more.

Well you can mostly delete mats as they are probably easy to buy/gather, but you can check the market board prices for it if you're not sure. If you have a lot of it or got it from a normal enemy, it's probably not rare.

Untradables: Totems, books from savage raid, untradable dyes, tokens from different raids, timed currency, other currencies etc. I have mainly saved those books and parts from savage raid for glam purpose. After a few years break. I litarally have to fact check every unsellable item with web before discard.

After a few year break, all those currencies will be redundant for gear purposes. If you were working towards a totem mount, you'd probably still want to keep them to reach 99 to exchange for it. Unless you cleared it a lot, a high-value drop such as from an ultimate raid would probably have been spent on a weapon already.

Give us extra tabs in our inventory to seperate different type of items. We already have a similar system implemented like the keyitem tab+ shards/crystals (Icon + numbers).

They could but what if you want to use the limited entry space for non-currencies? People would most likely say "should let us use it for any purpose".

They could try to make both tabs shared inventory space but that would probably be at least a headache for them to achieve. It would have to be like a scale balance system.

Not opposed to the tomestone increase tbh

[Patesaupesto]

1. Yes

2. Removal for non endgame, please, there's no point having that cap

3. Yeah. If there's a 99 stack, you can buy 3 and there will be 96 left. Or better : GW2 MB system.

4. Yes please, drag and drop, filters, so many features that are a must have nowadays. Please upgrade.

5. Biggest sht ever created, why didn't they merge PF ?

6. Wow transmog pls. Pls. I'm asking that since... Before glamour plates, when I played Diablo 3.

7. Yeah. All melee got the same gear. NIN/Phy R separate accessories.

8. Same for mounts man.

9. Let's keep dreaming, sorry

I know u can sort it. Still, to figure out which item i have to discard takes long time. In fact i spent almost 3 evenings just to sort out inventory by copy paste every item into google. If the goal is to sell more retainer i rather spend money to have item automaticly stored into another inventory tab.

[RyomaUchi]

I don't understand what 3 is meant to achieve. You're getting a bulk discount from the stack of 99 or you decide the premium is worth not having to deal with the excess. Furthermore, from a selling point of view it would absolutely miserable trying to sell a stack or not quite desired quantity only to be left with the unwanted dregs filling one of your valuable mb slots.

This is not a very strong argument by look at the market.
1. theres enough ppl selling for just a few gils more per item for smaller stacks.
2. u can server transfer to snipe whatever u need.
So if the speed of selling is the goal u have to place it way way lower compare to other ppl across data center to make it more desireble for ppl to buy. Ur basicly cutting the value of ur time spending.
