Can we PLEASE get a GC Re-Assignment?

[ZDamned]

EDIT- I fdo thank everyone for their input, I am not here for an arguement, just for a personal gripe du eto what a friend and I are basing out descigeons to keep playing for the next year on. I hate to be segmented from my friends, but sadly we have been. Anyway, thanks everyone for your heated input, and keep it comming.

I want to play with my friend, and I'm so sorry tha I don't spend every waking minute of my day reading what th edevs post here... Honestly, I didn't even know they added GC in, because I'm a new player. I thought they were always there, and had no idea of what the devs said about it.

Please tell me where in the game it says go read the forums for any chance of making educated choices for the permanent future of your character. I play this game for choice of what I do.

What I want to do is a few quests with my friend, such as the Chocobo Caravan. but he;s an adder, so he's not allowed to help me, or get a reward from the time he spends if he wants to just heal me.
Seriously, tell me what the purpose of that is! Segmenting friends from content because we liked a different color better? I liked Red, he liked Yellow, now were locked out from doing eevrythign in the game together like we intended. Beautiful deisgn.

Point being, We don't read the forums activly, and we don't post often if at all. We honestly are brand new players, and had no idea that "they" told us not to choose based on gear.

Warnings or not, the game didn't tell us we couldn't do Chocobo Caravans if were not in the same GC. The game also didn't tell us we could get a bonus 500 Seals from the level 25 Ifrit. (Which IS significant for those o fus who don't have the time to grind out GC leves at 15 minutes each for 20 seals.)

Oh and BTW. If were at war with each other company, why the heck do we do recruit quests for all 3 without being considered a traiter? That makes perfect sense! "We want you to join us! so go help them out ven though we don't like them." seriously, if someone comes up with any justification to that quote, the logic is 100% gone from theese boards.

And the person who threw my 2 cents away, Your going to have a fun lonely time playing without any frineds arent you? WHY would you WANT a player segmentation implimented in this game with SO FEW people in it?

1: You obviously ignored all the warnings that said "This is a permanent choice. Hell you don't have to check the forums to know that this is a big choice to make.

2: The Caravan NPC's clearly state that they offer quests for people of ____ Company, consequences of making a uninformed decision.

3: Who said they were at war? They are acting in their own collective interests but have their own goals and ideals as well. The main purpose of the game sending you to do all 3 companies is so that you can make a choice on what company best alligned with your own interests.

4: I'm going to call BS on you choosing based on gear yet never "Done any research" on the companies themselves, as far as I remember you can't check the item roster without either being in the company or looking it up. Might do yourself some good to do some more reasearch while you are looking up what is the best axe to get from the GC's.

5: In the end aside from the Caravans you are not limited to what you can do with other company members at this point in time, and I doubt that will change alot.

It is a shame that you and your friend didn't choose the same company. That being said, even without reading Dev posts or Letters from the Producer, the game does provide a box that pops up saying you can't change your company... and then asked...are you sure?.

I understand that this box doesn't explain that you can't do caravan missions together etc...and this is really what is bugging you. According to different Dev Posts on the plans and Ideas for Guild Companies down the road:
1. There will be joint missions between cities- these will grant bonuses or rewards if completed with a party with members from the cooperating Cities. (this IS something you and your friend can do together)
2.There will be competition mission against other cities (while you can't be in the same party as your friend, you can still have fun trying to be the better city)
3. Rewards will be evenly spread through each city in time. So maybe LL has the cool weapon you want now, but Grid will have a better one later

Lastly, currently, GC's are only a small aspect of game play. There are still LOTs of things you and your friend can do in the game together. Having stuff you can solo/do with other players isn't a bad thing. Maybe you'll both meet a Guild Company Friend or 5 that you enjoy as well and then you'll have a small posse to take all the baddies out with.

We are only seeing the bare bones of the Guild Company System right now. It has the potential to be really cool AND even more fun if your friends aren't in the same company as you. (Not all my friends are Adders with me) Maybe try doing other stuff duo and solo company stuff until they flesh out the whole company thing more
