Combat GC restrictions in frontlines

Really not the point. Point is people want to play with their Friends, FC, LS and now they can not. Not without going through the hurdle of getting everyone to change anyway. No one knew at level 21 starting out new in this game that GC was gonna matter, Especially with no pvp in the game. There was very little hint of this besides a very old 1.0 live letter and concept art. And at level 21 it's unlikely you will have the same amount of friends or the same friends at all you have at 50. I.e. I didn't meet most of my in game friends until I was 50 so there was really no way of knowing they were going to be Maelstrom or Twin Adder at level 21 when I chose Immortal flames.

No one knew because they flat out told us GC did not matter. That it was purely a personal choice and that the only thing it would control is which GC gear you could purchase/wear and what colors your chocobo barding would be. (and what mini pets/titles/etc but those are a pure vanity choice)

I remember way back in beta being told it would impact PVP someday with frontlines, but for NOW it didnt matter aside from cosmetics. Since you can freely change your GC, that was a true statement at launch. But they have always talked about it impacting PVP and now that day is here. Yoshida gave interviews dated april 2013 talking about it, they talk about in game. The PVP windows in game make a deal out of which one your in.

Now I do agree it is annoying. I understand all the cons of the situation. I just dont understand the ruckus at this point when its been clear for a long time. People need to ask for rank to swap with your GC, which is a valid point and stop acting like its the end of the world and this makes no sense cause its been planned this way since beta.

Stop acting like it makes any sense and posting the same stuff. If you can't see how bad this is for pvp and the players then i don't know what to say. But the last thing we want is frontlines to end up dead like Wolfs Den and this stuff will not help.

Take a step back and look at what I said and what you said. I AGREE THAT IT IS LIKELY A BAD. again, for shits and giggles - I AGREE ITS A BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew about this last year though. I dont understand why other didn't. Its not a HUGE surprise at all, for any reason. They clearly stated it over and over. Why didnt anyone say something a year ago, a month ago or a week ago. This isnt new news by any means. They have designed it this way and were open and honest way about about their intentions. Ask for rank to be separated from GC, or it to transfer aside from Achievements and other stuff, but lets not all act like it was sprung out of nowhere.

Oh yes because everyone is here since beta and everyone reads the forums. Nonsense.

You know if the PVP menus in game weren't organized by Grand Company and achievements and everything else I might agree. However, even in game, never reading interviews or forums or reading quest texts, a rational person would notice the tie. That doesnt make it right, or anything of the sort. But it is obvious.
