Therefore, I'm just going to claim victory in this debate since the naysayers couldn't come up with anything better than selfish reasons or statements of entitlement.

Ciao.
You gathered those arrows because you had to. It was just a part of the game mechanic at the time, and now it's changing. It's a quality of life adjustment. I frequent these forums often and I rarely (if ever) saw requests for dropping ammunition in game. You're bringing the mentality of "If I had to do it, so does everyone else" into it.

I have a bard at 50, and I still spend an hour or two farming mats for the week. I never complain, I just accept it. Now I'll be glad that I won't be stuck doing busy work for said hour in the future.

In addition, remember the entire TP system is changing (one of the biggest reasons why people use those consumables is to increase their TP gain). So chakrams, bomb arms, beans etc will just be used for pulling. In fact, they may not even be needed for that (referencing the new DRG ranged tp attack from the gameplay vids). Those throwing items are going to lose their value in utility dramatically, so we'll see far less people using them. So any argument based on those consumables will become void in ARR.

It's a brave new world, and it's changing. Things become obsolete (ammo, throwing items), new things take their place, eventually some of those may become obsolete. Fearing change leads to stagnation. Yoshi-P is bringing us progress, even if he has to drag us...kicking and screaming all the way
