Inventory is blowing my brain! SE, make it stop! To the rest of you, help me out!

I need some pro advice. I know some of you have figured out ways around the inventory limitations. Hit me with the ideas. Everything I think of just makes me want to quit the game over how frustrating it would be.

I know I can sell items from my retainer, create another character, trade gil to a friendly player, receive gil from the friendly player on my other character, buy the item for 1 gil off my retainer, then click that item and offer to buy it for 1 gil on my extra character's retainer, then relog, then go to that retainer in another city's wards, unload my inventory on it x10, relog, and repeat the process all over again until I've transfered what I want to transfer. Just typing that makes me want to kill myself. I don't know if I can go through with it. I feel like I'd be paying Square Enix $3 for making me quit the game in frustration.

My retainers are 150/150 with 10 items in bazaar. I am 199/200. I have a lot of gear from AF, alternate sets, rings for every occassion, food for my 3 main jobs, dark matter, some moogle unmarked keystones, and a quest item in my main inventory, along with about 20 slots filled from farming on Botanist.

On my retainers I have gear waiting to be sold, crafting mats for wvr, ltw, seasonal items that can't be stored, and stacks of items gathered in mining and botany, along with items like keeper's hymn, primal totems, primal stones, primal seals, beastcoins, and maybe about 50-60 materia from spiritbonding, and other items gained from farming in various stack sizes. A lot of it has piled up because the wards menus are so slow most of the time I don't bother with it every day because if I were to do so I would want to throw my computer off a very tall building and watch with delight as it exploded on the pavement below.

Is there anything else? Some little trick anyone has learned? No, I can't dual box.

You should throw your computer off a very tall building and watch with delight as it exploded on the pavement below.

I was awaiting some masochistic suggestion like waiting for a punch in the stomach to land.. and your suggestion was very unexpected.. brought a smile to my face. Lol.

NPC everything that isn't HQ and/or you won't be using right away, store AFs and event items for good and be happy with your 350 slots because 2.0 might be cutting inventory by half. ^^:

Dont worry in 2.0 there will be a delivry system like in FFXI. so my idea is just take a look at what is really useful, keep only +1 Craft material (unless Really Needed) or if you really dont want to wait 2.0, buy ur self a laptop a new FFXIV account so you can directly buy/trade ur stuff with a mule made on ur laptop just for that purpose.

Donate it to some poor adventurer

Stop hoarding shit.

You don't need 2 stacks of moko grass and a +1 marmot meat.

Almost everything is easy to get from at least 1 specific source, get rid of whatever you aren't using in the near future.

Gear takes the longest to sell unless it's some 2x meld stuff. If you need inv space sell mats like ores and logs at a lower price. Throw junk away to the nPC or just to the floor, and turn your spirit bonded gear to materia and sell it that way.

But but but they all are precious to me!

lol I just have nightmares of scouring the wards around launch time looking for gear and running across Retainers named "Magearmor" "Clothgear" "Weavermule" selling nothing but freaking marmot meat and moko grass.
