Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

[Konachibi]

You're wrong again, I level my battle class to be able to farm hide for leatherwork.

You just stepped on your own feet. You're saying there's no legitimate reason for a crafter to level a battle class and now you're saying there IS a legitimate reason. You're fighting for a right when you already HAVE that right. YOU can already get a chocobo with your battle class, plus seriously when was the last time you played an MMORPG where battle wasn't involved? WHEN was the last time you played a Final Fantasy game where battle wasn't involved?

Plus as chardrizard said, if you want your own personal chocobo, you have to earn it.

STOP spouting nonsesence and deal with it already! Get off your soap-box and accept that you may just have to learn to fight so that a grand company, which is designed for battle, will give you one of their chocobos.

If it REALLY bugs you so badly then bare in mind that craftable chocobo gear will be added into the game in one of the upcoming patches, as will chocobo breeding, so it's not that you'll NEVER be able to get a personal chocobo if you're only a crafter, it's just that implimenting all that additional system is going to take time, and at the moment SE are just trying to get the game running at full speed, they don't need whiners complaining just because their freebie is going to take slightly longer to get because they didn't bother battling for a whole years worth of release.

Only leatherwork require battle class. There are many people out there just do Fishing & Alchemy, Mining & Smithing. Why they can't get their own chocobo. They pay as much as you do, and they may spend more time than you to level their characters. Can you explain why they can't get their own chocobo?

Ok, first, can you explain to me why I can't repair my own gear to 100% without levelling a craft?

Oh wait no you can't.

Life sucks doesn't it?

but you do pay 2000 gil and get your gear fixed. Pure crafters and gatherers will never get their own chocobo.

I pay 2000 gil and get my gear fixed to 75%

You pay 800 gil and get a chocobo to ride that's slightly slower than a personal one.

And NEVER get their own chocobo??? [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] It's already been said COUNTLESS TIMES that chocobo breeding will be implimented later on!

Why 75%, there are many crafters on street want to contribute and fix your gear. Don't tell me that you really go to NPC fix thing. You see, we crafters are willing to help, and this is what we get for return.

Right... to save me smashing my head against a wall trying to grasp how you aren't able to grasp a simple premise...

Grand Companies are designed specifically for battle, the gear they give from marks are all designed for battle, the potions they give are designed for battle, they ARE a battle company, therefore, BATTLE classes join them, you can't have a battalion of Miners lining the ranks throwing stones at the enemy now can you? Chocobos are apparently rare in this game so they're only given to those deemed worthy of having one. That means people defending the country, risking their lives, take top priority. Some guy sitting on his ass making shoes so he can sell them for a lot of money has not earned the right to have a chocobo, because he is not risking his life in an attempt to save his country. Therefore he has to rent one, which costs him money, just as the battle class has to pay a crafter to repair his gear.

Every single change since yoshi took over has been free, you haven't had to pay a penny for it, and you're complaining just because amidst the huge pile of stuff you wanted that you are getting, there's just one little thing you aren't getting.

This is something people call UNGRATEFULL, and is frowned upon in todays society.

So stop being a spoiled little brat and deal with it, I have to deal with buying gear higher than my crafting rank can make, you can deal with not getting a chocobo untill chocobo breeding is implimented in a later patch.

If you are unable to deal with this, then you seriously need to go visit a psychiatrist or something because there's something seriously screwed up in your head.

because they are no longer considered as classes equal to DOM/DOW, it really is that simple.
public chocobos are accessable to any crafter/gatherer R10+.
if you want something then you have to work for it. again, it really is this simple, your class is not equal to mine.
both in Final Fantasy lore and in real life Chocobos are used as war steeds. at what point in time is a war steed required by an exclussive full time crafter/gatherer?
