    Please implement some baseline MMO features in 8.0

    Mostly concerning the UI and UI customization. The total lack of any inbuilt on-screen proc trackers is baffling, that's why I always get tired of playing Dancer and Bard.

    I like how there is a huge pop-up when your retainers sell something but not for actual combat purposes.

    Best you can do is to macgyver a hotbar in the middle of your screen and put the proc skills as macro /micon version there, but you still have the problem that your camera gets stuck if you click on them accidentally, because there is no ''clickthrough'' option for hotbars, another feature that WoW had like 20 years ago.

    I like that you don't have to spend hours for UI Customization. WoWs Interface is a shitfest and raids are designed with addons in mind that trivialize everything to some extend.

    Good for you. Some people would like the option to have more customisation though.

    And this would affect my playing experience since it will be necessary for me to fiddle around with addons because the game would become unplayable without.

    I'm not against UI Improvements in general but it should integrated into the game by default instead of relying on addon authors.

    I have not seen anyone mention addons in this thread except for you. People just want more options when setting up their HUD.

    Good for you. Not everyone wants to spend hours customizing UI though.

    More options will not force you to use those additional options. I can't believe I have to explain this.

    Lets see that Cutting Edge and Mythic raiding status before nerfs if addons trivialize combat so much

    Addons also just add a ton of customization and help disabled people. FFXIV lacks even the most basic support for the latter.

    Procs are easy enough to track by looking at your hotbar. Most people who do raids move everything near their hotbar - status effects, target bars, etc. Procs usually glow or make a system sound anyway.

    I do think clicking is an issue. Click a hotbar button, it targets a dragoon doing positionals, preventing all attacks, especially if you click in a gap between them or the nameplate hovers over the bar.

    I think this game stopped caring what other MMO's do to innovate after they did 2.0. When everyone else offered cola, pepsi, fanta and sprite. 14 switched to tap water after a small stint of a cola-knock off and was like "Please enjoy tap water, it never betrays you and is always the same flavor"

    At this phase, after seeing Endwalker and Dawntrail, I don't think they are going to do changes until their sub numbers drop massively. And even then I wouldn't be too confident on it not being just another emergency band-aid "sorry" until they reverted back to their old ways. This game needs new direction, if its not the directions fault and its company meddling and budgetary reasons? We are ROYALLY SCREWED.

    The devs are afraid of change, but what's more worrying is that the community is clinging to not changing either and still sticks to defense and absolutely marring this game into that tapwater state. I bet above me or below me there's going to be a "I like it the way it is" comment by the time I've finished this comment.
