QOL: "Loot abandoned"

So you're running through a dungeon and all the while your inventory fills up with all the junk mob drops that you don't need. Then, the final boss is defeated and that new axe drops that you really want but have no more space for because your inventory is full from all the mob junk, but before you can clear a space and roll, the others have already left and so now your brand new axe is gone...

Can this please be fixed so that loot is no longer automatically destroyed by people leaving before you've rolled on it?

This would be nice. But as it stands it's easy to avoid. Simply make sure you have 10+ slots available at the start. If you don't have enough room dump stuff on your retainers, or stop hoarding!

How about don't go into a dungeon with a inventory that is so full?

Your inventory can hold 175 items, why are you carrying so much around?

You can also adjust your options so armour/weapons go into your armoury chest instead of inventory.

Is it really that hard to take 2-3 secs to throw the trash out?

It's called QoL for a reason...:roll:
Is it hard to put dropped gear from inventory to arsenal (or vice versa) by yourself? No, so why do we have an option to automate this?

Is it really hard to not throw away important stuff? Why do we have a warning then, if you try to throw e.g. unidentified bones away? It's easy, just don't rightclick the item and don't leftclick on throw away.

When you're a crafter, plus having to carry a gazillion tokens of varying kinds that really should have been placed in the currency tab... it tends to add up. And the armory chest gets kinda full when you're carrying around gear for 24 classes and jobs, especially the weapons tab. :D

Not quite sure where you pulled this figure out from, unless they've started selling more inventory space along with more retainers (which wouldn't totally surprise me), but even still you probably shouldn't assume everyone has this

I'm pretty sure that he's just mistaken since I'm pretty sure he was trying to count the Armoury Chest. Technically you have space to hold 400 non-quest/mission items on your person and you can also hold as many crystals as you want and they don't even take up those 400 spaces. 100 spaces for non-essential items is plenty of room, especially since the OP is most definitely talking about a pre-60 dungeon.

I support, as stated it's a quality of life feature and harms nothing.

Yes, there's the armoury chest, but even taking that into account 175 does not make sense. Depending on the item in the treasure pool, it could only go into one of the armoury chest compartments, so if anything you could call it 125 slots. That's assuming the item in the pool is a piece of equipment, which it isn't always.

As for my take on things, there's been so much crap they made for the anima quests lately that unless you don't care about that stuff at *all* and just discard it whenever you receive it, inventory strain nowadays is understandable, IMO

Simply just make it like VA etc, no roll no get. Resolved! ^^;

The game could use a temporary treasure pool for situations like this since we don't have the option of re-looting a corpse like other MMOs. It's what FFXI did anyways to prevent things going straight to the ground immediately.

A simple solution is to do what other MMOs do and if something isn't looted it just stays on the box or corpse it came from. I think FFXIV is the only MMO I know where loot just gets thrown away if it's not immediately claimed. I'm not sure why it's intentionally thrown away like that... Maybe it's to help prevent like item duping or something(wild guess)? That's the best I can think of, I can only assume it's intentional but I have no idea why.

Don't you already get a warning when your inventory has 3 slots or less left?

This please

Happened to me, I went pony farming back in the day with 1 free slot, thinking I'm not going to lot on anything other than the whistle
The one time I win the diamond dust rolled over a stack... Lesson learned
