    • A bug wherein the FINAL FANTASY XIV client will forcefully shutdown when a player begins crafting while still eating.

    • A bug wherein if a player attempts to execute a macro while another macro is being executed, it will not execute until the initial macro is complete.

I really don't like them ******** with the targeting system, the last one took a minute to get used to but in the long run worked well, now I have to relearn the system for it all over again...boo

Well they're not really taking anything away as far as I can tell. They're giving you a choice between two schemes: the new one recently added to FFXIV in the last update and the old one originally used by FFXIV which is also currently used in FFXI.
