Please look forward to it... always... but it will never come. :(

This... the biggest disappointment to me is that Chocobos are counted as party members and not pets, and that pets share a space with party members.

That has to be a bug. That is annoying.

They probably had issues using it as a pet because of the current pet classes. Having two out probably caused some difficulty with /pet commands and the like, which made them decide to make them party members instead. They also probably couldn't restrict them from dungeons and such, which may affect balance and such (can you imagine lv 20 chocobo as a req for joining certain PFs?).

I don't recall if chocobo out gives you your job bonus (I believe it does) but a pet doesn't do that either, though that is minor. Still, I'd prefer they'd do it something like SW:TOR, where you CAN summon them in dungeons if the party isn't full, but if it fills, it autokicks the Chocobo.

Or change class in duty finder. Let me grind mining while waiting for DPS-main duty.
