NQ/HQ crafting materials should share the same slot

My retainers are full up and I like having a wide assortment of crafting mats available so I can make stuff to sell when my gil gets low. My reasoning for this is because otherwise whenever I wanted to make an item to sell or use for a lower level job I would need to go out and gather it or buy the materials. I do not consider it an "interesting choice" to have to choose which materials to keep on my retainers and which I have to go get.

With that out of the way let me explain one way they could have them stack. I don't know how they would program it but this is what I would have it be like:

Have every crafting mat stack up to 198 (99HQ/99NQ) and the amount of each could be seen by mousing over the stack.

I think this would be a great way to help alleviate inventory issues.

You could lower quality of items that you do not need, it frees up a lot of space.

If you do need them to HQ, then sell or remove the NQ? Or mass craft the NQ to consume regularly?

Why would I want to do that? It's not worth it unless its something crappy like bronze ingots.

You are dodging the issue.

Why wouldn't you? If you don't want/need the HQ mats just sell them.

You don't really need HQ mats to make most of the stuff we have now.

I covered this in the OP. I might need it later. I am still leveling my crafters so I definitely do need the HQ versions of heavensward stuff.

If you need space, sell NQ and keep HQ

Is it really a problem to combine them into one slot to save space? I have never seen so much opposition from an idea that would benefit everyone and hurt nobody.

Given how they keep saying that they don't have the resources to dedicate to additional inventory space right now, it seems like it really would be a problem. Right now the game is coded to handle one type of item per slot up to a stack of 99. Recoding it to handle 2 types of items would require additional memory. Likewise, so would recoding it to handle larger stacks of items.
