[Teon]

I'm pretty sure you people have an issue with holding on to too many things. If you've already got gear for all classes, when you get the new CT gear you trade the old stuff in for seals. I've got all crafts, ak gear and some gathering and I dont have the issue. When I get CT gear I plan on trading in the AK gear. There's like 400 or 500 spots in inventory plus 25 spots for each piece of gear in armory. There really isn't any excuse.

That's not the case for me. I'm sure others have the same problem, if not in terms of magnitude present in my case. Let me explain.

The only equipment I have is stuff I'm using or stuff I'll be using on my DoHs and DoLs in within the next several levels. This means that I have roughly two sets of tools and gear for each DoH and DoL. As for DoM, I have only one set of gear each for my Summoner and Scholar.
I've managed to create a system that ensures that all of these fit in the Armory Chest, so this really isn't the [my] problem. That said, I'd still welcome an expanded Armory, since I want to eventually level White Mage and maybe Bard or Black Mage too.

What I'm close to running out of space for is crafting mats. I'm leveling all the DoHs and DoLs side by side, so that I can minimize expenses by gathering and crafting the stuff I need for myself. And, because, well, I like selling things and making money off the AH. I only have one stack of each item [a few exceptions are things I need a lot of and use multiple times on a daily basis, like steel ingots, mythril or toadskin, but I carry these with me, NOT on my retainer]. I cleaned out my retainers recently and made sure to get rid of stuff that can be easily bought from NPCs and that I only have the base mats [like, I don't store both logs and lumber]. I really, really have tried to trim my inventory. However, I'm down to roughly one tab on each retainer.

If they give us better retainer functionality by 2.2, I'd be happy. But I'd really prefer that it be sooner rather than later. I mean, I'm only at 44 for my DoLs and 41-42 for my DoHs. I can't even imagine how I'm going to manage all that when I get to 50 on them all, or when PvP and housing come out.

I know quite a few people with everything at 50. Carrying the bare minimum when you have 4 DoM, 5 DoW, 8 DoH, and 3 DoL uses up 20/25 armory slots for most equipment types.

The ring tab makes no sense while I'm on the topic of the armory. It still only has 25 slots but you can have two equipped for each armor set...

For many, inventory management is an integral part of an RPG, single player or multiple.

Most rpgs don't like you level so many jobs on one character either. The lag when using retainers, company chest, etc is horrible as well. Also the way the market board is setup, players undercut you all day so your items don't sell quick making it harder to free up space.

Inventory needs to be increased and armory space as well!

We are getting ilvl 80 gear and ilvl 90 elemental extreme weapons , next days. Cool, new content. Now, dev team, do you mind to give us 2-5+ more retainers, with this patch?
Most of us crafting/ rolling multiple classes are having heavy troubles managing slots.

Lucky for you, this means that when you get these items, they will replace old ones that you can then get rid of.

I mentioned the same thing here on forums, apparently people think that having 2 retainers is adequate compared to all the items we can obtain in the game.

As someone with all DoH at 50, and gear for every single other class/job in the game, I can say that 2 retainers is more than enough. Stop being a packrat and get rid of the stuff you don't need.

Most accessories are shared between classes/jobs however, so with everything at 50 you actually end up with more room in the ring tab than others. All 8 DoH combined only take up 2 ring slots, for example.

They need to start charging for extra retainers and using the cash flow from them to add more server side storage if that's their issue.

The lodestone only shows 2 DoH at 50 so I'm guessing you mean on a different character.

I've always thought this was the worst argument against adding more space. So because you prefer to buy everything off the market when you need it everyone else should be forced to play like you? I'm pretty efficient with organizing my retainers but I still had to toss all raw ingredients like ore/gems and all HQ mats to fit everything in.

Let's go over why inventory suxs in this game.

1) Lag - opening and closing retainer/company chest takes takes too long

2) No sort feature

3) Multi class = multi gear/craft items/etc needs to be saved.

4) Seasonal stuff/materia/etc

5) Market board promotes undercutting - items don't sell, more junk to manage.

Sorting inventory shouldn't take hours to do and regularly. It currently feels like a bad mini game.

I don't need to read it again, wow you have a real attitude don't you? it's quite sad.

You said they weren't making room for CT items in the Armoire based on a statement where they neither confirmed or denied this fact. Maybe you are the one who needs to read things more clearly eh?

They don't have to confirm or deny it. The original purpose, regardless of whether you want or think it will change, was/is for items that cannot be obtained again. Every single item that can be stored in it now, and every single item that they are going to allow to be stored come 2.1, falls under that category. I don't subscribe to "They haven't confirmed it won't happen, so it might" I will view it as it is until they say otherwise. And they've shown no hints of what you want either.

The leveling of multiple classes and jobs is why we have the Armory Chest. And in almost ALL circumstances it is plenty adequate. The only time it really becomes an issue is if you have separate pieces for every single class AND job. This can happen if you have Weapons/Tools for every single Class and all the Relics for your Jobs. You'll be short 2 spaces for those.

Also, undercutting is normal. If people are undercutting to the point it's cheaper to vendor? Buy it and resell, their loss. But otherwise, normal undercutting, is normal. You don't get to control how much people pay, if others want to sell for less, or sooner.
