Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

I know this is much better than it was in beta, but for the love of god improve the user interface speed. Allow players with mouse/keyboard to USE THEM properly. We should not have to confirm every single shuffling of items..or choose quantities.

If we drag and drop 4 materia, then move all 4. When crafting food from ingredients on my retainer it is AGONIZINGLY SLOW and takes more time to take out/put away the ingredients than it does actually crafting...

Also, allow us to craft (in sanctuaries) as if our retainer inventory was in our pockets.

I recently went back into Guildwars 2 and was just blown away how smooth everything in the UI is. Strictly comparing UI and usability, it puts this game to shame really.

I don't see this one on the list:

Could we please not be presented with an option to lot on items that we cannot win? Why do I have to click "Pass" if the system knows I already have one of a unique item? It should just skip me altogether on that lot, or automatically give me a 0 on the lot, and grey it out with the "you already have one of those" message in the box.

Also, I would like to be able to see how many inventory slots are being used by my retainers and how much gil they have on them more easily (perhaps beneath their names when you click on the bell). Something like
"Retainer name, Selling XX items, Inventory 169/175, Bank 1,456,789G"

Is this thread still read/updated/relevant? Thanks for reading!

Yes please.

Please kick AFK people. Ive seen the same people AFK for hours.

...Its so annoying because when you exit you cant get back in because server is full.

Yeah, please bring back auto AFK kick, when you gotta wait in a queue of players, only to find out there are 200+ AFK this is quite ridiculous, it needs to come back ASAP.

PLEASE add a decline option to friend request windows or change the negative answer to an automatic decline.

As it is now, the window asks if you want to add the person to your friends list and allows you to answer with a yes or no. Answering no leaves the notice on screen until you open your friends list, navigate to the bottom of it, find the person, remove them and then I think even confirm the removal.

It's a huge hassle when I've already made it clear that I don't want this person on my friends list. There is literally no reason to have the no answer leave the request active as far as I can figure out. If people really love opening and closing their notices without losing them, add the decline as an extra option for those odd balls but I really think it makes much more sense to simply change the answers altogether to add and remove options outright.

Please, please do this, SE.

On a side note, I'd also love it if someone being on your friends list (either really on there or just the temporary version you get from unaccepted friends requests) did not block them from being added to your blacklist and instead automatically deleted their request/presence on your friends list. RMT'ers are using this again to make it hard to block them, going through the above mentioned hassle to remove them before you can block them, and if they're fast enough they can keep themselves locked in your friends list until a GM can deal with them.

I think that would be a more complex thing than simply enabling a decline friends list button from my first suggestion above but figured it was worth mentioning anyhow.

Armoury Chest II. Make it happen...

We should have enough Armoury Chest space to accommodate the maximum number of gear sets we can have (so don't bother pointing out things like Artisan's set, not when SEs answer to their awful Glamour system is "Obtain it again to have two different Glamours!"); 10 sets of PvE gear for Jobs, 8 sets of crafting gear, 3 sets of gathering gear, 10 sets of PvP gear for Jobs - 31 sets to push into 25 slots for a game which main draw is "You can level everything on one character".

Cooldowns reset after a wipe for the love of GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!@#RFSDTHFYJ

PLEASE THIS! SO MUCH THIS!

It's been asked for time and time again. Not just after a wipe but when an instance starts also. So when my DF queue pops and I change class before hitting "Commence", my stuff is up. As a MNK this would be amazing for Perfect Balance!

It'd be nice if we could freely switch between a gathering class to a battle class without all your abilities on cool down. We can switch between a battle class to a gatherer with no penalty but not in reverse.

Can we expand the Armoire to just store any equipment now? If not any, just increase what can be put in there (Augmented AF, Mythology AF, raid gear, unique dungeon drops, etc. etc.)... I am pretty sick of my Retainer effectively being a living wardrobe solely because I look at most gear in this game and go "This is nice, but it took me forever to get so I'm sure as hell not exchanging it in case I want to glamour it later". A vanity system like glamours is only half finished so long as there's no where to actually store the options, in my opinion... Really isn't helped by the fact that Retainers deal with sales on the Market Board, meaning anything I'm selling gets taken down temporarily when I want to go through my wardrobe...

I'm pretty sure that's so that you can't use gatherer's Stealth to sneak up on enemies to attack them. ROG/NIN is supposed to be the only battle class who can Hide like that.

I agree with your suggestion in any case, but in regards to this particular issue, I'd like to see a change where it's only when we select the "sell items" option from our retainer that the MB listings are taken down, instead of always taking them down whenever the retainer is summoned. I, too, spend a lot more time going through my retainers' inventory or even on their equipment, than on their MB listings.

Can we send our Retainers off on multiple Ventures at once please?

For example, I can send off my Retainer on a 40 minute Venture to obtain 60 Wind Shards for 1 Venture. Allow us to instead pay them X Ventures to multiply the time required and rewards, so I could pay 10 Ventures to send them off for 400 minutes to bring back 600 Wind Shards.
