I think they will do Bard more Bard in 2.0

Yes, it's a sin to like ammo.
It eats inventory slots, costs a lot of money and runs out in the middle of friggen boss fights. If you don't hate consumable ammo, then you deserve to be hated yourself.

It's not bad to like ammo, I was just surprised you missed the big hoopla about it months ago after the third live letter.
The thread about it and link to a source.
As for "what will the carpenters do now?" That's also a bit of a silly question but I can answer it nonetheless. Above and beyond the armor and weapons that require this skill there will also be the new housing system which will have massive content for the carpenters including, but not limited to, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, roofs, picket fences, chocobo barns, and so on.

I recommend Watching the third and fourth letters from the producer and skip just past the midway break when Wada comes in, he is a huge fan of the housing system and they discuss it then.

Live letter from the producer III
Live letter from the producer IV

Hope this eases your concerns about the lack of arrows making the carpenter useless.

Having been bard on ffxi for many years (since that's what people are saying bards here should be more like), I much prefer the bards here. As a bard back before the level cap went beyond 75, it hard for a bard to get anything done by themselves. Unless we were killing mobs way under leveled, we even had a hard time skilling up. Having a bard that can actually do damage? <yes, please.>. Besides, didn't people say they don't want ffxiv to be just ffxi with better graphics? It's hard to say that and say that bards should be like the one's in ffxi.

I'm responding to you because I'm not sure if you're directly responding to the OP. Or perhaps you don't understand it?

In essence, the OP request is to make a musical instrument visible when casting songs. Nothing more and nothing less. FFXI was not even mentioned.

oh wahhh wahhh you don't hear us dragoons crying from not having Wyverns do you >_> -crying on the inside Q___Q-

For starters, Dragoons having a pet isn't a class defining thing.

Personally I don't want to use instruments. OMG there's an iron giant! Batter take it down with my...harp...Really? I like the idea of having a practical weapon to attack stuff with. I think the bow works great. I know class FF used instruments and crap but it doesn't bug me. I like it how it is. I like how BRD is different than an exact replica of something we've already seen.

But it would make sense to actually use an instrument when casting song spells. Which i'm cool with. But not using it to attack enemies.
