    While I agree with your sentiment of trying everything, it's not really fair. DoW/M aren't forced to learn a craft in order to gain access to all of the games content. If SE is going to do something like this, they need to add a serious perk for crafters and gatherers to balance things out.

    Guys, the Empire is attacking!
    That's the whole reason for the resurrection of the Grand Companies in the first place.

    If you consider yourself a full time Miner, and a Garlean Soldier comes to slaughter your family, are you saying you WOULDNT swing your pickaxe at his face? Its a VERY small stretch to lvl up MRD.

    But dont get me wrong...Pickaxes and Hatchets should definitely be able to hurt things.

    oh no the empire attacks the company and they have a caravan of supplies sitting in the camp, but there is no gear nor weapons in it because the company had no crafters to make the gear nor gatherers to get the materials for them. whatever are we to do?

    edit: oh i just thought let's get this weaver in the city to make it and hop on his chocobo to get it to them..... oh wait they have to run....he'll never make it in time!

    Hah!

    There'll always be plenty of gear available from the crafter base, even if you do want to cry in your beer about it. And why not? They've got nothing else to do but make gear.

    The idea that a bunch of crafters would refuse to participate, because they are denied access to something which frankly they don't need, is something of a stretch.

    where did anyone say the crafters refused to participate in the company stuff? they are not welcome. you cannot get into the company as a gatherer or crafter. how will the company gatherers or crafters fill out the damands when they have none?

    like i said a few times it's not going to bother me at all because i have level battle, but i still believe it's kinda stupid not to allow them to join as well.

    The point of the Grand Companies as supported by ALL of the lore in the game including the lore that Yoshi just put in is to unite the Warriors Crafters and Gathers to build a Great army.

    By forcing Crafters and Gatherers to Hit 25 to join they are essentially recanting on all of the lore about GCs up to this point.

    You don't have to be 25 to join a company.

    You do have to be 22 tho.

    Imagine that these are horses, and we're talking about an army. You don't fight, you don't get a horse. Not a difficult concept.

    Plus, airships will be up and running for those crafters who need to get between towns...

    Crafters have to travel to far more Aetheryte Camps than any Battle Class and in an Army suppliers get the vehicles not the grunts.

    By far more you mean exactly the same amount right? I mean when battle classes do leves, they have to go to the camps. When crafting classes do leves they are at the same camps and occasionally still in the city. Ever since they revised the target camps for the crafting leves both types have been going to the exact same camps every reset if they're doing leves. You can grind out crafting just as much as you can grind battle.
