This is another one of those thread that people will never let die because they have it in their heads their idea is the best thing since sliced bread.

I would like to point towards similar thread topics like:
SMN Egi's need reworking
rework the battle system
redo housing
Add in NM's
(and the list goes on)

All of which had hugely detailed expressive writeups explaining how good it is, how it should work, etc. They all have one thing in common, the community and devs alike didnt really care and the devs had their reasons for doing things the way they did and they don't have to explain themselves in detail. Why? Because it is their game. If they add it, they add it. As the OP mentioned, they have commented on this already a loooong time ago with a resounding "maybe?" the successful relaunch is a little over a year old, let the game grow a little before adding something like this in. i just wish the RMT would quit commenting on this post and supporting it.
