1. interface/menu MUST be made more userfriendly.. its really horrible right now, opening and closing stuff goes too slow but the worst of all is your attack skills are not saving when changing weapons, i gotto set 8 skills everytime i switch to craft and back to Marauder, really time consuming...
2. monsters must be balanced better for solo play, the difficulty gap is arround lvl10 and its just too hard to find any decent monsters to train on. the monkeys in gridania have a green dot infront of their name yet they totally **** me -.- lucky i found some dodo's in the desert i can beat but thats about it, nothing else left to train on. everything else just hits way to hard, were talking about 200-1000 each hit here which is even inposible to survive with a big party.
3. lower the cooldown on Guild leve's or better.. remove it totally and make them repeatable endlessly. this move would really really improve the game and make it much more fun. its a good way to make gil and equips too so why not? i know SE wants us to spend as much time as posible in their game so they get money but throw too many limitations in it and it will just ruin the gameplay. btw its not all that rewarding either u know, if i stay in 1 spot and grind i get more xp then i would walking to the questspot and kill 6/8 mobs and return.
4. Crafting (biggest issue right now). if you want to make a player driven economy with no npcs selling equips u gotto keep crafting simple imo. right now you need waaaaaay to much items to craft something like a lvl1 axe and theres no way in a milion years you can think up the recipe for that without looking it up on the internet. (which u cant while ingame cause it wont let u minimize it)
lets take a look at the lvl1 Bronze war axe and what u need for it to make it.
1 bronze war axe head = 2 bronze ingots = 2x5 bronze nugget = 3copper+1 tin ore
1 Elm Axe haft = 1 elm lumber + linseed oil
1 Bronze Axe Butt = 1 bronze ingot + 2 bronze nugget
1 Buffalo Leather Strap = 1 buffalo leather = 1 buffalo hide + 1 oak chips
1 Animal Glue = 1 bone chip + 1 sheep leather spetch + 1 muddy water
lets see thats about 9 different crafts over 3-5 different jobs to get the main parts, then 1 more to finaly get the axe, BUT chances are very high u screw up and fail most of these crafts which means u can start all over at the beginning if u fail the last 1.
seriously simplify this shit... its unreal.
