I'm not bothered by the new CP facility, it doesn't give me the impression it's easily accessible, much like having a Free Company buff.
Join a free company, convince them to put Chocbo Rates on.
Something like that, unless I'm completely missing the mark!

As for the main hand tool... I'm quite upset about that really.
8 DoH classes.
8 Main hands.
Each took some form of gil investment to obtain (Materia melding) and now they're being replaced by some kind of Grand Company exchange system?
Here's some materia, give me new MH tool.

Bummer.
