I don't know why this isn't already in the game, because it's in every other MMO I know of, including FFXI. When you died in FFXI, the "Return to Homepoint" window pops up automatically, without the player having to manually select the option from the main menu like you have to in FFXIV.

Every other MMO I've ever played also has its equivalent window pop up automatically. It makes no logical sense for SE to make players open the window manually in FFXIV.

Not only is this annoying, it's also one of more confusing points for newer players. I remember the first time I died, it took me a little bit to figure out what I was supposed to do. Yeah, I know SE has added a chatlog message since then, but that's not quite good enough. The window needs to pop up automatically.
