I cannot agree any more with the OP and this thread. I am quitting FFXI for good because of bad inventory space (I only have 35 spaces in there, and it's full of armor and weapons for my jobs), I find it hard to make gil on there (I don't craft), I cannot find parties to go into, the AH is in shambles (I can't even purchase scrolls for my jobs because the prices are too high and I lack the gil, plus inventory space) with its prices (so people are selling on the streets of Jeuno like it's a city market in a foreign country by shouting what they are selling), and so on. I've moved on and I call FFXIV now "HOME." The FFXI producer could learn a thing or two from Yoshi-P about how to make the game better. I just think FFXI is now stuck in the past with its architecture and UI. At least Yoshi-P listens to our feedback and has made FFXIV a much better game pre-ARR.
