IDEA: Relief to Inventory Issues

[Ihnako]

Yor AF's are usefull 24/7. But you don't ask for usefullness.
And again. The OP is asking for more storage/inventory space since it's just another word for the same, just different ways to access.

Creating stuff out of other stuff just to free up storage space while containing or even upgrading it's usefullness is out of question. You can't fly a VFX-1 without considering that it's a lady who can drink more than you can supply.

Again: To free up storage space through introducing new items - OK but not those 24/7's - This is a game and storage is a part balance.

First off, not ALL AF is useful 24/7. Let's just take for example COR AF legs. DEF:11 HP+10 DEX+2 MND+2 Parrying +5. I haven't really seen a lvl 54 COR choose to use these let alone a 99. But what if you +1 them you may say? Def:12 HP+15 DEX+5 MND+5 Eva+3 Parrying +5. Yeah, not really much better. Far better pieces in that leg slot. But if you took those +1 stats, and put them onto the emp+2 (taking the highest base def of the two pieces), you'd have DEF:47 DEX+13 AGI+8 MND_5 Store TP+8 Eva+3 Parrying +5 Snapshot Caster Roll and the set Quick Draw Bonus. Now that's a useful piece. IF you were to pop on the relic+2's stats as well, most cor's would probably use these and go out of their way to get the +! legs for the bonus stats (at least those that are hardcore as some like to say). This now generates more of an interest into doing Limbus again and more interest in playing the game.

This game has plenty of different examples of upgrading, so why not take it a step further. While you say that storage is part of balance, that could be so if the game wasn't built upon macros and gear swaps. They did it to themselves, not the player-base. It's hard to cram 92 pieces of gear for a job in 80 spots (and if you can do it WITHOUT removing a single piece from the 92, then you are truly amazing). Having to pick and chose which pieces we decide to use for that particular day takes away from the enjoyment for many people. Maybe you get off on it and love it. But you know what, if you didn't have to worry about it and there was enough room, I'm sure you could still gimp yourself by leaving stuff in safe on purpose so you could continue your little game. I won't tell.

Shrinking 24 items (staff/obi/grip) just for example into 3 would ease many players pain. After all, this is a GAME and meant to be played for ENJOYMENT and FUN. Some people find that not being able to use all their gear is the opposite. Stressful and frustrating. So if SE can do something that is VERY simple to alleviate this problem, it would be in their best interest. And you know what, you wouldn't have to use it. You could be a rebel and have 8 inv spaces clogged with obi's and shout in port Jeuno how you're different. But must you truly piss on other people's enjoyment? Maybe that's how you have fun, but truly, I can't see why you're so against helping so many people.

Hell on this very forum, there isn't just 1 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...19120-MOGVAULT but 2 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...-one-will-like threads talking about inventory issues. If this was such a small problem, this wouldn't be the case. But clearly you're one of the lucky ones that it doesn't effect, and congrats on that. But why go against something to help so many others?

P.S. You really should check your spelling. Especially on a site that gives you a spell checker. Makes you come across and young and unprofessional.

Can someone please explain this piece of gibberish to me, because I have no idea what it means and how it relates to a FFXI thread about an idea to relieve inventory woes.

Ihnako, please stop trolling and go level your 24 COR and SCH. That should keep you busy for a few hours while the grown up people discuss real issues and brainstorm real ideas. While you are at it, top off your DNC, BRD, and RNG so you can be one of those people who have 99 everything with no gear or skills to play them effectively.

I like the idea of being able to combine the elemental staves, obis, gorgets, etc. Dragging all of those staves around is enough to give one a headache, but when you toss in the other single-element pieces in increases exponentially. SE put this gear in the game for us to use, not to toss aside because inventory space will not allow it's effectiveness. It would be refreshing to get into Sea and farm up obis for my BLM and RDM, but I will not do it right now because I have all of my spots full already. Why would I travel to an area and farm up items that I cannot use? You don't see me going all out for Masamune because I mainly play RDM and MNK. I might go for it if I had a way to consolidate inventory space so that I can effectively gear SAM as well.

We all want more content in FFXI, but with new content comes new gear and new items. We can't take on new content without having the space available for these new gear sets, unless they are something that we can full-time. I vote with combine what you can where you can, augmented items seem like a half-hearted try at this anyways. Maybe then the devs can show us what the Far East or the Mithra homeland look like.
