The suggestion as I understand it bypasses both of these limitations (or at least mitigates the first). The 'Mog lazy susan' would not be a giant wardrobe that only holds job specific equipment, instead it is a subgroup of up to 22 separate inventory spaces, only one of which is ever loaded at any given time, and none of which need to exceed 80 slots (even that is probably more then necessary for most people). This means that the only extra communication that needs to be sent is a flag telling the server what job you are on (which I can only imagine is sent anyway every time you zone) so that it can load the appropriate job specific wardrobe.
I suggested that, if they are unable/unwilling to add even one additional wardrobe space for this system, that they replace the existing Mog Wardrobe 4 with this system, on the premise that at this point most players have at least 10 items that are exclusive to a single job and likely that number is closer to 20 or more (I personally have at least 20 items that are exclusive to RDM, but my other jobs have less). Based on this assumption anyone with 5 or more jobs would have over 80 different items that are exclusive to only a single job and that even with the loss of wardrobe 4 they would still come out ahead on inventory space. And that anyone with 4 or fewer jobs probably doesn't even need that extra space anyway.
I think this is very realistic suggestion given that the system is obviously capable of discriminating when and if to load a specific inventory space. Mog Safes only load when accessed from a moogle, Storage only even loads when you are in your mog house, and Mog Wardrobes were specifically coded to load first. And even a drastic increase in storage spaces would be a pretty negligible amount of extra data server side. So it seems to me that they should be able to implement this kind of system with the tools that they already have, the only question is if they are willing to spend the resources (time) to do it.
