Get rid of grand company's in frontlines

If you guys really want square to listen, I insist on spamming the forums with your own personal threads about the subject based on your own views on the issue. I personally feel that SE has absolutely no excuse to keep GC restrictions around this long, as the playerbase has been asking for its removal for a long time now. To any arguments that may bring up, "well if they did this it would disrupt the lore of PvP", there are many ways to deal with this and still maintain an adequate story. As it stands now the vast majority of players dislike this system.

There is always a good excuse its just SE will not tell us 1) financial 2) resources

from what I have come across the money SE are getting from FFXIV is being funneled into other project (FFXV, FFVII:remake) so the size of the FFXIV team is getting smaller.

FFXIV was also created as a PvE experience with PvP tagged unlike games like Medal of Honor and Destiny (god I hate Iron Banner) which is more the other way around

so.. From the FFXIV teams point of view, Do they work of fixing the GC restrictions on PvP to keep 20% of the community happy or work on creating new raids and dungeons to keep 80% of the community happy? and i would heavy doubt removing the GC restrictions is a simple fix since assets have to be re-done and the system has to be re-coded

short version is the GC restrictions is at the bottom of there priority list (more than likely under SMN glamour)

This is not a valid excuse, as an MMORPG requires constant maintenance and support. This is not something you should defend, but to each his own. This is not something that requires an insane amount of effort to fix, just like how CD timers should be reset after a wipe in raid but they never did this even though there are other instances where they do reset. Also I don't blame the development team themselves for being short staffed, as that is not their decision. I personally feel that when a community has requested a change in a flawed system for over a year in a growing game it would behoove the developers to say more than "we'll look into it".
