You know what? I hit like on your original post but I had to retract it because of this crap ^

You started a thread about inventory and posted your valid opinion. Someone else posted a valid opinion that differs from yours and you resort to this crap of calling them a white knight? Grow up.

Just because something is a problem for you doesn't mean it is a problem for everyone; and no I am not defending the inventory space in this game I would prefer more also. To compare though I only bought ONE extra retainer and I still have space to spare and YES all my jobs/gatherers/crafts(minus BSM) are at 60 feel free to Lodestone. So, yeah it seems to me you might be hoarding a bit more than the usual player since I also collect glamours too and still have space to spare.

Aren't we all?

But that isn't the entire problem. Don't forget that dungeon running has the annoying tendency to bloat your inventory with trash drops...

I'm always a few slots from max and all my retainers are full. Don't have max crafts but I leveled just about all of them. It's getting a little tight in there.

Still 2 retainers.
Just collect mats for lv51+ crafts, sell what you don't use or transer them to another character with the FC safe, and put the gears into the armory chest. And collecting glamour is optional and not releated to the amount of leveled jobs.

Also for glamour you don't use often, there is a cheap way.
Wait until 1-5 days are left for the sub, buy a retainer for just some cents (because of only 1-5 days), put the glamours into that retainer you don't need for the next month, but don't want to throw away, let the retainer sub run out and don't refresh it until you need the gear again.

Being a video game, everything is optional. Dungeons are optional, raiding, golden saucer, crafting, gathering, jobs, it's all optional, but the game has to be set up in such a way so that it has the infrastructure for its important components. Like it or not, glamour is a hugely important component of the game for a lot of players. Part of having the infrastructure for glamour is having the space to keep glamour gear or else a different system to manage glamours.

Teeechnically, even life itself is optional, as you can take the option to die instead. Living is a desire, not a necessity. But that would lead the discussion mildly astray...

I'm sure it's gonna take a long while before they even bother do this: I wouldn't be surprised if eventually we'll be forced to buy some retainers for a free one or something.

I wouldn't even complain about the retainers if they were a one time purchase! And no, I am not paying for extra retainers right now. I rather spend that money on something else.

I pay 13 euros for WoW and I get everything. I pay 13 euros for SWTOR and I get everything + extra points.

I pay 13 euros in this game and I even need to pay more for basic inventory space? What's next? Housing plots?

To be fair to SE, FF14 has offered as much inventory space as WoW does if you max out all your storage with just the two retainers you get for free. Storage space wise its actually a pretty competitive game.

Seriously, please don't start with the white knight thing. Its really annoying. If you disagree with them then you can argue the point factually. Don't start resorting to label that imply that others opinions are dismissive. Instead actually state factually why you don't feel it is enough.

If you want people to respect your opinion, respect others opinions as well.

Which leads further support of my point :p Life might be optional, but that doesn't mean we don't want a good life.

That has taken up a lot of space for me. I wonder, would it be reasonable to have a glamour catalog/journal? It gives you everything in the game and highlights what you do not have...once you obtain it, it becomes unlocked in the journal for you to glamour on...or would that be too hard? I don't know the core mechanics to coding and designing. I took a coding course once and it was very basic..and that was enough for me..

I will say you're right to an extent. I was trying to level every single job, every single crafter and gatherer. I stopped trying to do all that recently. It is insane the materials you need to hold onto. I've found that lower level things I can craft food / medicines for and purchase. If I need something more intense I will ask a FC member to craft it for me. Since I've done that I've really made a lot of space.

But that lovely system that makes me keep all that gear I might want one day. Some I toss because I know I'll see it again. Others like Scyllas gear..I keep because I knot, for now, I won't go back in there for a while.

I am on the fence on getting a new retainer, I have all my combat classes (bar my melee's) at 60 and that saved me a lot of space because I don't have to cart around levelling gear all the time, but I have gone on long without needing another retainer so far, but if I am going to be levelling my crafters/gatherers, I might need the space.

Tbf the only reason mine are full is because I hoard a motherload of fireworks and glamour fodder, should probably trim the fat.
