Inventory space

Yes...I know....this thread again. But I can't help it. I've just received the maid and butler set and caught up with the rest of the world. Yay, it's great but it's another 10 items I don't have space for :( I guess I thought it would be storable in the armoire.

I don't pay for extra retainers as I don't believe I should have to for something so basic. I constantly throw out things I'd rather keep but finding space for this additional 10 items has really pushed me to the limit.

I'm lucky enough to have a house that I really enjoy decorating, but keeping bits for that and then glamour, crafting items and gear changes..... You need to provide storage for all the great stuff you are giving us! (cough without trying to make us pay more on top of our subs)

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can you sort out storage?

We could have a lot more storage if we didn't have all this pointless bloat >_>

Glamour prisms - One is enough, we don't need to segregate by craft and rank.
Dyes - Let them be unlocked once, then usable forever.
Glamour items - Implement a separate glamour catalogue that stores ID and appearance of items so we can ditch the original, that's much less data than also storing stats, HQ/NQ status, condition, materia and spiritbonding information >_>
Tokens and turn-in items - Into the currency tab

The last remaining bastion of bloat would then be crafting mats. But you'd probably have two empty retainers for those by then, so hey!

It's also kind of amazing that maid and butler outfits AREN'T storable in the Armoire. This is exactly the kind of thing the Armoire was built for: equipment that can't be replaced, and that players would be reluctant to discard.

Oh damn. I really do have my retainers and myself filled with crafting mats. I don't want to throw them out because leveling my crafters without them would be a pain in the butt, but.....I have zero inventory space. Absolutely zero.

I agree with this 100% as well!! If there was anything I liked from GW2 (when I played it briefly), it was the wardrobe and dye systems. All you needed to do was 'learn' the appearance or dye color and boom, you had them forever. No need to keep clothes around or keep dye bottles to clutter up your inventory. WoW also now has a very similar system for Transmog, which I am VERY thankful for. If SE could implement something like it as well, it would be a HUGE help for inventory space.

YES! The tokens do take up a fair whack, even things like behemoth horns and odins mantles. Glamour stuff too, I would love your idea! For example I don't want to dump a levi weapon that I've upgraded with the mirror or armour from a dungeon that took me a hundred runs to get.

Honestly they're not going to do anything about the inventory space. Everything listed above would be EXCELLENT ways to deal with any and all inventory issues, but that would lose them money from retainer sales.

They want your inventory full to bursting. They want you to have a mental breakdown when that one piece of loot you've been farming drops and your inventory is full. They want you to have to stress out as you struggle to decide which glamour item to throw away so you can make room for something new. They want you to beat yourself up because you threw out crafting mats that you didnt know you were going to need, and now you do. They want you to be enraged when you accidentally sell all your beast tribe tokens to an npc vendor.

Because the more upset you get, and annoyed, and irritated, the more likely you'll purchase additional retainers. The problem will never get fixed, because the problem is intentional.

Well, at this point it's just easier to just sell the mats that are easier to make, and keep all of your rare and hard to make ones. Like, Ureus skin, and Hard hypogryph leather. If you know that you can craft them at rates of 80-100% premium quality: then yeah, get rid of them.

So true. Another reason I hate the cash cow shop. Bend over and moo people!
