Yes, the idea is bad for him because that's not going to fix his inventory habits.


But what about the player who regularly maintains his inventory but one time, he/she gets distracted long enough to forget to double-check? Safety nets for those kind of people are not a bad thing

Easy. Long queue times.

Most people do something else while waiting for a queue to pop, and that something may be an inventory intensive activity like crafting or fishing. You get your inventory mostly filled up doing that, and when the queue finally pops, the first thing that comes into your head is "ooh quick, finish and switch to my job for the dungeon so I can accept the queue". Not everyone thinks about checking whether they also need to go find a summoning bell to drop off the stuff they've just been gathering before they click on that "Accept".

Then if you get into a dungeon with a few open slots left, and think you're ok, those can get filled with random junk mats dropped from mobs along the way before reaching the boss and that treasure chest you'd been hoping for. (And you're likely too busy with the running fight to notice those random drops or how they're filling up your last remaining spaces.)

Admittedly, it probably happened more often when we only had 100 slots (most of them perpetually full with armoury chest overflow, baits, currency, and consumables, so only a few slots left to work with for crafting/gathering or looting). The upgrade to 140 has helped quite a bit. But it's still the same issue, and still something the game should address (just as every game should and many do).

Im too blind/ lazy for doing every little features in this game that one way or another involves something related to the inventory. I cant always keep track of every little thing i do when i also have real life situations i have to deal with.

"They shouldn't have increased the amount of items you can have in a house, it just encourages furniture hoarders. I don't have a house so this is a waste if server usage."

Oh wait, they already did that

If your too blind/lazy sounds like personal problem. RL same as everyone else. Some if us have two jobs and go to school so seems more of a choice.

SE gives options and not many players realize this. Now I can understand not having space do to items that can't be stored and such, however there are plenty of ways to have extra inventory space. Follow the same rules as in life, example, gear wise ; unless it's needed ( glamour, relic, savage items, future job leveling no more than 2 months ) get rid of it. If your saving materials to craft quick synth if not HQ or use them up. If you have retainers keep them stocked and sell items you craft cheaper than market price to move them out if sitting more than a week. Materia? unless your actually using keep it, otherwise put it up for sale some people do use it and in some servers low level is wanted.

simply manipulating aspects of any feature to fit your motive just makes you look foolish..

How do you miss the point that badly? it is basically showing why people that are on the stance "we do not need more inventory space it is your issue" that are foolish

You forgot to add, the game does not even let you manage inventory when it pops, you cant sell things, you can't put things in retainer and you can't pull things out of retainer.

the 140 thing did not help at all, in fact it is a step backwards because it does not cover enough compared to what was added, so you basically LOST inventory going into SB, not gain.

I'm not, I'm fitting your opinion to any given applicable feature. I'd say more but Snow_Princess summed it up pretty well

how did you make it this far and not read the OP? Nobody, and i mean NOBODY in this ENTIRE THREAD has said anything about not wanting more inventory. Next time read....he asked for items to go into the mail because he can't manage his own 140 SLOT inventory. How do you go into a raid and not know your inventory is full? poor planning....that's how

you think snow summed it up but lets face it, both of you have absolutely NO CLUE what the op asked for OR his reasoning. next time read. fitting my opinion? never said anything about server usage? never said anything about NOT increasing inventory? i did mention hoarding though so you at least got 1 correct.

bottom line... sending stuff to the mail will not fix his problem. If he cant manage his own inventory now, how is he going to manage that AND his mailbox? he wont, it'll be the same thing except this time his inventory and mailbox will be full and he'll be asking for something else. Even with the increased inventory they are giving us soon, I'm willing to bet he'll have the same problems.

You are defending something when you (and snow) haven't a clue what you are defending.

I roughly remember FFXIV 1.0 having that pending loot feature, however I can't find anything about it. Used to be a great help especially when the inventory would get full with the various quality levels of materials. Not sure why it didn't carry over to ARR.
