You traitor.

I'd ask you the question in reverse. Why CANT/SHOULDNT we be allowed to change companies?

Do you have an answer to that?

This is just a simple poll asking if you feel that players should or should not get the option to change their allegiance to another Grand Company after pledging themselves to one. I'm mainly curious to see how many people feel about having such options open to them. Feel free to post and discuss your thoughts.

Choice is always a good thing. I vote yes!!
Also, you should be allowed to change your home nations. I don't understand the focus on binding you to one place forever.

We Can't/Shouldn't be able to because the other Grand Companies would also know you as a person who defected from the other, or they would think you're a spy.

Because you swore an oath of allegiance to said Comapny.

What good is your word if you change it on a whim? How can any Grand Company trust your allegiance to their organization and their cause if you are so easily swayed simply based on the Rewards you are given?

If I were the Commander of any of the Companies, I would not allow you to join my ranks because you show no sense of honor and your oath means nothing.

How's that for an answer? ;>P (I am not attacking you Ren. Just using "you" in a general sense.)

And what about the REAL reason for the Grand Companies? :p They're to stop the Empire, yus? It shouldn't matter whose loyalties lies where, as long as his blade is raised against ze empire.

Immortal Flames 'til I die! (and maybe even after that. hehe)

If not the ability to change companies, maybe allow players to buy items from the other GCs for a higher price once we get additional ranks.

It's so you can't do quests for your company, get the rewards, buy stuff, then quit and join another one - do their quests, get their rewards, et cetera.

And it makes sense story-wise; once you're in, you're in.
