This thread will be reserved for all the bugs and problems that have not been fixed by SquareEnix. Anyone that has been playing FFXIV knows there are numerous bugs that are annoying and/or easily repairable by the development team.
I encourage everyone to post their findings in this thread, as I will constantly update the first post in an organized matter. If you don't know how to explain a bug, feel free to PM/IM me and I will word it correctly.
Before you submit a bug or problem, please make sure it's valid. Perform tests with multiple variants (windowed, full screen, max/low settings, and so on), ask other people if they are experiencing the same issue, make sure it hasn't already been addressed by the development team, and, most importantly, make sure you aren't just making a mistake.
Also, keep your suggestions for the development team in the thread: Things you want XIV to have in the future.
Urgent, high, & low indicate priority by the community.

Critical Bug Announcement:
- While transferring items from your inventory/bazaar/retainer that exceed the cap, you will lose that set of items without notification. [Urgent]
For example: Moving 300 earth shards to your retainer who already has 999 (cap) of earth shards. You will lose the 300 earth shards.
*This is a major bug that can potentially effect you or someone you know. Spread the word by telling your linkshell and other friends about this particular issue.*
