Oh I'd love to be able to summon Carbie as a Smn. I actually do drop down to ACN when I'm material farming sometimes, let him stretch his legs. But they don't need to.

Honestly, I could go either way. If an SE rep shows up and says yes they could or no they couldn't split carbie and the egis (which I will now name my non existant band) I'll shrug and move on, and if they don't I'll assume they had better things to do with thier time.

Two thinngs though. One: Where in the lore does it say a SMN is no longer able to summon Carbie? I should think that Being able to summon the radioactive rabbit till you beat Titan and Garuda Egis should sortof prove they infact can, tbey just don't cause why summon a weaker pet for combat.

Two: You can't use "common sense" as an argument relating to a skilled feild. There is a reason we aren't all programmers. It might be that easy, it might not, and the programmers in the audience have and may weigh in on the difficulty.
