If the only thing that carpenter was good for was making arrows, then carpenter needs to be fixed. It's not an issue with arrows, it's an issue with the entire class.

Leveling speeds makes the grand majority of what any DoH makes useless as you blow past it, arrows were just a large income for carpenters from people who won't spend GC seals on lower level ones or buy from the guild NPC. (excluding Cobalt and Mythril.)
I find it funny how people complain about stuff being unrealistic in this game while at the same time have no problems accepting that you can conjure balls of fire, lightningbolts, blizzards and so on.
Arrows and bullets are archaic old MMO relics that should be happily discarded. In ffxi, before the great ranger nerf, people used to defend RNG's amazing damage by saying "they pay for that damage". To prevent balance issues and maintain damage output equality, this is a necessary change.
Currently, the ammunition system isn't really even a gil sink., it's just a transfer of gil from archers/bards to crafters at max level. Now if max level arrows could only be purchased via NPC's, then this might be a different issue (removal of a frequently used gil sink could cause economic issues). Since that's not the case, I say to hell with them.
You have used up your generic bullcrap reasoning tokens for the day, please come back tomorrow for more bull crap tokens.
(I get you were playing with him lol)

I would care more if different arrows actually did different things in this game.
I don't know why people are complaining about arrow costs now. You knew before you went archer that you had to buy arrows. Infact, different choices in arrows added a level of customization not available in any other job, that alone makes it worth the price.
If you didn't want to buy arrows, maybe you should have leveled a different job? No, instead you whine until developers gut the system to accommodate your hobo lifestyle.
Quite a fallacy you build yourself on.I don't know why people are complaining about arrow costs now. You knew before you went archer that you had to buy arrows. Infact, different choices in arrows added a level of customization not available in any other job, that alone makes it worth the price.

Because something is doesnt mean it has to be as.
And SE whipped that one out on their own, I've seen almost zero complaints on arrows at least from the NA side.
