Glaring issues that were NOT addressed in 2.1

[LiadansWhisper]

OP, I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but...

2. Repair armor function is useless. I'd estimate that 0.0001% of the player base has repaired their own gear, since you have to be in the crafter class and then search for all your pieces just to repair. If you have the correct DoH class leveled, you should be able to repair that gear while in any job, period.

I repair my gear all the time, actually. I only have Weaver to 50, but it still comes in very useful for repairing my crafting gear (much of which is cloth) and my main Job's gear (WHM/SCH gear is mostly cloth, as well). I DO agree that we should be able to repair in any class, or that there should at least be an easier way to figure out which gear needs repairing when we are in our craft.

Can't view Free Company or Linkshell while in Duty.

This is inaccurate. I can view and talk in both FC and Linkshells while in dungeons. The only time I'm not able to is when I'm actually loading into the dungeon, but even that is inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't work during the loading screen, sometimes it does).

They steal EXP,

As far as I know, this is not the case. Chocobos are awarded their own set of XP separately from yours.

they are terrible at all their

They are actually quite competent healers, if you can make sure they stay out of the fire.

But beyond that, I agree with everything else you've said.

Edited to Add: Also, OP, if you make a short post and edit it, you can make the edited post as long as you want. The text restriction is only on the initial post, not the edit.

Wrong, while in a duty, you cannot view your FC tab or linkshell tab. You can still talk in your linkshell/FC, but you cannot send tells or check who is online. Which is another stupid restriction on top of the dozens already in the game that are severe quality of life annoyances.

this not correct the exp you get per kill is split in half. half going to you half going to the Chocobo.

That means the level 49 mobs I kill at fifty are worth 462 xp a piece? That seems a little high. . .

This is in fact the case. Kill a mob. Then kill the same mob with the chocobo out. You will only receive 75% of the normal exp you get. So not only do chocobos suck at their roles, but they also make you level slower for having them out. There is literally no point to summoning a chocobo other than to:

A. Level the chocobo (pointless outside of a unique barding at max)
B. Kill world mobs at level 50 (which are already easy to kill)
