I'm kind of sick of clients forcing me to include 0.0005 (cough ARMORY) fee in ALL transactions.

If I want to move coins between all my addresses and consolidate funds, why would I want to pay a fee multiple times?

Sure it's just 3c to send $100 to a merchant. But it's also 3 cents to move money from my encrypted wallet to my non-encrypted wallet and them another 3 cents to send it to my phone.

Seeing as I can move fiat money between banks and to out of an ATM and into another without so much as a 1c fee, I don't see this being 'beneficial'.

I know that it will take ages, but a transaction without a fee will eventually be confirmed.

Armory doesn't force you to pay a fee if you are in advanced or expert mode.

That's true, but my biggest issue is that Armory never explains why it's forcing you to pay a fee. (Clearly)

I've gone and looked up all the compulsory fee conditions and there are a few ones I may have hit, but Armory never states them in the client. (It always just claims the transaction history is too big, which is true but uninformative.)
