Someone had to, so here it is.
People have been asking for this for years. Everytime it comes up, SE makes up whatever excuse is most convenient for them and shoots it down, yet, the solutions seem so simple. It's always "We don't know how to implement this." (Making copies of data/editing data is hard?) or "PS2 limitations." (Stop supporting an antique system?) or "Gear porblems!" (Make people unequip gear and provide vouchers to replace the few pieces of equipment this would actually affect?) or some other screen to hide behind.
People begged for Chocobo Racing for years. You gave in. Now look at the fruits of your labor: Oh, wait, there are none. 99% of players don't have anything to do with it or any related content. At least if you implement this feature you could charge people a fee for providing an additional service for the hassle to make some additional profit. Ten years of Tarutaru... I need something different to look at and I don't want to get banned for using "third-party software".
