[dev1002] Sending EX items within account

[Harukusan]

Well thanks for restating what I've already said

I never said you were incorrect, because what you said is true common knowledge (not to be confused with common sense). This is just one of those things that people generally learn very early on in their FFXI lives. I'm sorry for those who may have been underprivileged from the beginning and without knowledge of the resources where you can find basic information like this.

As for this subject, I'm also glad to know they will be further expanding our options for storage. My guess is it will focus primarily on items used for quests, which I'm sure will help a lot of people. For me, I'd just like a larger gobbiebag because I have too much gear for each job to maintain a steady inventory, and often finding myself leaving some stuff behind. 80 spaces just aren't enough! :P And before you go "but you can access your sack/satchel outside of MH, why don't you keep your stuff there?" Well my answer is simple, and I'll break it down in two parts: 1) Sometimes (not too often) situations can change rapidly and scrounging around for missing pieces would be a waste of time. 2) I'm lazy.

you cannot have more then 80 till SE discontinue PS2 support.

I can't tell if you're joking or what, but that's just silly... Not everything can be blamed on the limitations of PS2. Storage capacity is one of the exceptions to the list of things that can be changed or removed (i.e. just get rid of PS2 support anyway so we can have REAL updates and expansions). Do you really think having more inventory space on hand creates a significant problem to that issue? If it did, we wouldn't have been given the recently added Mog Sack, let alone the Mog Satchel.

While we're on the topic of expanding inventory, you know what else would be even more helpful than this? More lines on macros. I'm tired of pressing 4 buttons to achieve a single action. (2 macros for TP gear, 2 for WS, and 2 more for every other situation...) I know people keep telling me just use windower tools (I won't mention names because SE is watching us! oooOooOo) they make life easier because they have no limitation as to how much gear you can swap per macro. The greatest advantage about this, especially in a laggy situation, is that hitting multiple macros will often overlap and cancel each other, causing me to hit them several more times before I get the result I'm looking for. This tool eliminates that very problem, allowing everything to flow just the way you want it. I'm not exactly sure on the details as to how it works. I'm a total old school player, I still talk down to people who use 3rd party software sometimes, usually those who rely too heavily on it to perform decently, but given the sad direction this game has headed, I'm almost considering that as an option just to free up macro space so I don't have to scramble around all the time. Our current system is really inefficient, unconventional and just plain impractical. Furthermore, these macros, along with the lack of on-hand inventory, are really holding many people back, I can't speak for everyone, but I am especially feeling a huge, negative impact by this in terms of my performance.

This isn't a fighter game, this is an RPG. ONE button for ONE action. No more of this Four-to-One crap.

Wishful thinking~

simply put, would be great! I have a otn of EX stuff i dont want to get rid of but dont use often. I would love to be able to mule it and hold on to it.

If this ends up being their solution to extra seals, I'm going to be mad. SE we should not have to pay you extra money every month just to store stuff!

Well said. Though I think the majority of the player population already is paying for extra characters to hold their garbage, this addition can only be more helpful. Hell, I might not even cancel my mules if it's worthwhile. (only reason I keep them now is for lolbonanza)

Yeah, mules aren't going away. I have 5 mules that are almost packed with items. S/E could not add enough spaces to cover all that crap.

Anyway, definitely do this. It's really annoying when I've spent hours camping something on my main and then have to decide whether I want to toss it or not when space gets tight. On the reverse, I won a set of Trotters on my mule. I'm not going to level a mule just to use Trotters. Although, my main would love them. And, once and a while, I will actually go out and level a mule a bit when I'm bored. It would be nice to share with my mule the Bounding Boots I spent hours getting.

p.s. - Storage is really about to become an issue. I'm just about to start collecting items for my Emp Weapon. For my H2H, that means 50+50+75 or 175 items. Although, I won't have them all at the same time, reality is that I'll have to take the items whenever they are available to me. So, somethings will have to be tossed if they can't be moved to a mule or stored.
