Inventory/Bank/Marketboard Systems Convoluted and Stupid.

Having to pay for bankspace in a subscription MMO is already crappy but since we already have a thread here I wont focus on that. :mad:

Instead lets talk about how unnecessarily convoluted and dumb managing your inventory with 2 retainers with 20 sell slots each let alone up to EIGHT separate retainers. Why should we have to click so many times to sell and manage items? Why cant it work like the the FC chest? WHY is the bank/market system tied with retainers then if there are such constraints with character information?

The whole explanation by yoshi-p regarding server constraints and how retainers count as characters and each retainer/characters inventory needs to be saved every 15 seconds is tied into this. If its such a problem then the market/bank needs to be broken off from the retainer system.

Had to break this last bit off do to 1000 character limit.

If that's not feasible can we at least get some sort of relief with inventory? Make bait like shards?a glamour book? less non stackable items? Make more items quest/key items? etc etc so many ways to lessen the item burden.

In the future, you can edit your original post and add more text. :)

I think they should just raise the stackable item limit for most items.

I might as well post this here as in one of the other threads... would be nice if somehow up to 99 HQ and NQ items could share a slot. If you have 55 NQ Gigantoad Skins and 15 HQ ones for example, why not let people put them in the same stack and have 55 in one corner and 15 with the HQ symbol in the other. When crafting you could still pick which type to use, and when selling them you would still choose to sell either the NQ or HQ type.

Ah the joys of inventory management. They addressed the retainer/MB thing way back when 2.0 launched. It's actually that way as a gil farmer deterrent so they can't quickly fill the market boards with crap and for the most part it's working.

The rest is stuff we've been asking for. A tacklebox for fishers, glamour book etc... They could also add tabs to the fcbank. Especially with the workshop addition, not adding atleast one tab feels insulting.

How has it hindered gilfarmers? They seem to be strong as ever despite these alleged limitations against them. SE needs to deal with RMT in meaningful ways that actually removes them and stop trying to add all these silly limitations that does nothing but bother players. We can't get a simple rightclick->report feature to help deal with RMT spam, but by Hydaelyn, we can only sell 20 items!

Great priorities.

Inventory and market boards should be addressed. As cool as it is to have our little NPC buddies doing jobs for us, I'm not sure it's worth the server strain when SE says they can't do other things because our retainers exist.

I don't think it works to great on gil farmers, they have automated programs to list/relist stuff on MB while we are stuck doing it manually. :(

Hey they said it 2 years ago. At this point its safe to assume most people weren't around for that.
