Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

We need something so when comparing gear they compare side by side.

[complexxL9]

Turn off the display of low level quests.

[Alise]

My suggestion:

Please give benefit to log off, instead of AFK kick. That one will not help, because people will find the way around it to stay afk anyway.

I guess I'll take a moment to suggest:

- Highlight currently useable crafting recipes in the crafting log. So we don't have to click through each and every one until we find something we can make.

This would be very intuitive, highlight the background of a recipe in green if you currently have the items to make that recipe and also a number of how many you can make.

Please make pets (summons) totally passive when you are on Chocobo, its really annoying when on Chocobo and you are attacked that your pet will defend you and despawn because you go out of range. (in fact I would rather there be two stances in the pet bar, "Attacker" - attack only when player attacks, and "Defender" - attack only when player is attacked)

Please allow us to talk to NPC's and hand in quests whilst on Chocobos, this is standard in almost every MMO since WoW.

I have a few suggestions of my own...

Gameplay
Mounts: I just wanted to add an upvote for Auto-dismounting when talking to NPCs, (as well as attempting to activate gathering nodes, and on combat spell/skill-use).

Combat: Scholars/Summoners/Arcanists:
Make selecting Guard or Steady the default option to return to even after giving the pet instructions.

Allow Macro-inputs for Pets.

Allow the option to Disable auto-use of particular skills for pets.

UI:
Macros: Could you guys please make all hot-bar spell icons available for macros? I noticed quite a few missing from my options that would make my life loads easier.

Party Bar: Could you create an option to show/hide pets in the party bar?

Quests/Map: When mousing-over quests on the map, display the recommended quest level (either in parentheses or in some other fashion).

Personal want: Death Gaze mount.

Regarding debuffs and DoT's on the enemy: Please give us the option to either have your personal DoT's and debuffs always appear at the front of the list or give us an option to make the our personal debuff and DoT icons appearing under the enemies health bar larger and more prominent than the other players.

Otherwise in large group encounters they are constantly yoyo'ing up and down the bar making it hard to watch them, I understand there is a green timer to distinguish between the rest but it really isnt very clear

Proper side by side item compare and not just show me im getting better def/attack.

Cooldown timer for abilities with the option to choose when the timer appears over the icon, for example a skill has 5 seconds till its ready to use again so a countdown from 5 till 0 appears over the icon. This is really for skills that are 30 seconds or more the "clock" style can make it hard to see when its about to be ready.

Party menu options when right clicking the parties frame, im either missing something or its not working and seems odd that it isnt there.

how about the ability to minimize chat and shut off enemy special effects? i could even go for shutting off all shadows...dont get me wrong the game is amazing, aside from the 2002 and 10102 errors but for my pc to handle it, cause aparently in beta i had no issues, for me to fully enjoy it, i need the ability to shut those things off

Completing quests at max level. XP should be converted to gold or something else which is useful at level 50.

- Login queue: The queue should be *much* larger if not indefinite. Constantly trying and being told the world is full is silly.
- Duty List modification: I want to add/remove/sort the list of duties displayed on screen.
- AFK boot: At this point everyone is just leaving their characters logged in 24 hours a day. I know you are working on fixing the servers but this should be a *high* priority
