forced to rank in a grand company to move to another?

[Wildsprite]

why are we forced to rank in a grand company before we can join another? its absolutely ridiculous. and its like a slap in the face if you join one and realize you wanted to join one of the others.

please change this. its a ridiculous requirement that shouldn't be there.

something like earning a certain amount of seals to get a pass would be acceptable but I dont want to have to keep going back to an inconvenient location to rank up in a GC I dont even want to be in
