Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

I wouldn't want to play the game just to be a "crater."

Crafter, crater... It's all the same once a Roe pounds them into the ground.

atm i have R50 conj, R50 archer, R50 shield, R50 gla, R30 pug, R20 thurm, R19 mrd, R26 lanc.

lets just sy im so very bored of battle classes now so heres my crafts

R29 alc, R23 armourer, R21 weaver, R15 bls, R15 gold, R15 carp, R15 leather.

and im working on all my crafts at the same time purely because im so bored of fighting mobs. so at the moment im playing purely to craft.

others play/played purely to gather too.

Crafting (and more recently gathering) are the ONLY reason why I'm still playing this game. I found getting archer to 50 utterly joyless and utterly boring but recognize the practicality of having at least 1 combat job at 50 (and getting everything else to at least 36).

I tried poking at Lancer again recently and just found myself going 'screw this'.

The only things I've really enjoyed in this game has been the crafting and gathering.

I'm a crafter as well, I was much happier when getting Hand of God, and Perfection than Emulate and Multishot.

i hear that the male choco's we are getting now are just the beginning and in the future they will have choco breeding. i also hear that all the crafters have all the gil. so if trading is your thing and not fighting. wait and buy a choco.

Regardless of your position on the matter, you'd be hard pressed to argue that more people log into an MMO for the crafting than log in to kick monster butt. Yoshida-san has probably put the priority on making battle related content for just this reason.

The Materia system is pretty much targeted at crafters. It's not "content", per se, but it is a rather substantial investment in the non-battle classes.

I agree, as a gatherer, there could be more content, especially content of a social nature, but I also acknowledge that appealing to the greater proportion of the player base is important. Getting their content out the door in a timely manner is also important. I'm not sure if I'd want them to hold everyone else back just because I couldn't buy a chocobo as a pure non combat player. I'd still want to harass them about making it possible, though, in the next patch.

How is adding Grand Company content for Crafters and Gathers holding everyone else back? Are you thinking that SE can't implement both?

"Holding everyone else back" as in making them wait until both are ready to be implemented instead of releasing what's ready right now, now. I'm not a fan of the "You can't have yours until I can have mine." mentality.
