I have 2 examples of the "small things" that ruin this game (on the top of my head.

Example 1) After logging into FFXIV you come to the main menu where you click Start and the "A Word to our Players" prompt comes up along with the ungodly loud sheering sound of death. The volume levels on this selection as well as the Square Enix ping before this screen need to change.

Example 2) I can't hold down enter to allot my stat points. Between the stats and elemental resistances I have to hit enter over 300 times if not more because an enter didn't register.

I know it's silly but you know it's annoying. ha
