Pay for your inventory.

[Ashkendor]

Well, I guess it's time people start cleaning out their inventories then. Out with the old and in with the new.

Pretty much. If I pick up a dungeon piece for glamour and don't use it within a couple of weeks, I just desynth, spiritbond, or turn it in for seals. If I decide that I really want it again later, I'll go farm it. Of course things that aren't easily replaceable are a completely different story. I could still kick myself for getting rid of my Imperial robe and helm from the MSQ. :c

[LunaHoshino]

Currently, one is almost completely full of soldiery/HA gear, Levi weapons, Shiva weapons, etc that I was hanging onto until we can desynth it as well as a few glamour pieces that won't go into the Armoire as of yet, blank glamour prisms, and rare dyes.

Actually, now that you mention it, my inventory will go way down too because I have a bunch of HA/Levi/Shiva/Ramuh stuff sitting around that I greeded on thinking I could turn it in for seals. It seemed like a waste to ditch it when I knew they would give us the ability to turn it in eventually, but that will free up a considerable amount of space on my retainers.

[Onikimaru]

This. Seriously, it's just the same as Miqo'te and now Au Ra with their tails, like, "well we have these races available for you but we don't really care about accomodating their body features, so have your tails clipping through 95% of all the clothes/armour!"... (yeah, different scale, different problem, but the core is the same)




...hoooooooly Menphina, do you actually hear what you're saying?? (Well, see what you type?) White knight in the shiniest of armours, if I've ever seen one.

And how many - not even games, but entire franchises have been ruined by short-sighted "money money money" corporate suits who just wanted to see their profits climb? Want a win button or direct purchase of gil from SE with $$$? Yeah, the road we are on now leads to those things. Because some people, people like you, will defend everything SE does and don't mind being double-dipped and spending money on things they should not be spending money on.

For the record, I do love Yoshi and I have such huge respect for him. He did do amazing things to this game, even after and beyond "simply" turning it around from the mess of 1.0. I also love him as a person, I love how he's this #1 man of such a huge game, yet is completely chill and dresses like some half-blood j-rocker. But certain company decisions he went ahead with (or had to go ahead with) just made me not want to believe what he says anymore, and be apprehensive about everything he announces. The way housing was handled - see my signature, and see how it turned out - first break of trust. Then the Eternal Bonding thing, most of the coolest stuff gated behind a paywall - second break of trust. And now this - being told time and time again how problematic increasing inventories is, and then this sort of reveal of how they really have no issues with it actually - third break of trust. For someone who's admittedly so aware of the trust lost with 1.x and wanting to re-build it so badly, these are some very ... interesting steps he's taken. And I'm not at all convinced they fit into that vision. Sure I still want to believe, and I do still stick around, because I do believe, but I'm just more and more scared of this path we've been walking with this game for a while. It was mentioned somewhere, I think, that they're "testing the waters" of how far they can go with extra charges (ie. cash shop and its equivalents) - if we never voice our dislike, if we just passively accept everything they charge us extra for, they'll never stop "testing the waters", they'll just continue to throw us in deeper and deeper (cess)pools.

Ohhh lord PREACH IT!. . Somebody give this man a cookie!.

Lets be honest
You already have several hundred inventory spaces
If you can't manage with those, these extra retainers will allow those not so good at things to get by : )

Please look forward to it.

And that space will be immediatly filled with Heavensward stuff like "Oh, nice lv55 bow I just dropped there. I'll hold on to it for when I'll be leveling my Bard".
Plus new mats.
Plus new Glamour items.
Plus new potential events items.
Plus all these desynth stuff you'll need to level up desynth.
Plus new housing items that don't fit in your house just yet.
Plus every leveling gear you'll need for non-50 classes/jobs.

I really do not understand people defending this change.

Do people like being screwed over? Is it fun?
Why are people happy about a service that should be in the game by default?
Why are people happy that some players will have a clear advantage because they spend more money?

I really do not get it. Maybe gaming is doomed to die after all.

This game gives you 100 inventory spaces, 350 retainer spaces, 25 armory chest spaces per equipment slot, an armoire which can hold certain unique items, and if you really need it there are 40 market board slots. Not to mention that there's also a total 150 slots in the Free Company Chests which will probably be expanded as new FC ranks come out. That's a total of 450 free slots and 300 specific gear slots per character. Not only is this more than most MMORPGs, but most stackable items stack all the way up to 99. There is a CRAZY amount of free storage in this game, and if you don't seem to have enough space then it's either time to clear out all of those useless monster drops or suck it up and pay SE so you can continue with your hoarding problem.

SE should hire you for all the free PR work you're doing! :^)

And that is why you clear out the old stuff to get room for the new.

Why are people content with this foul treatment.
Why.

Gaming is dying. Denying that having more Ventures/Market Board slots/and inventory is literally pay2win is just crazy to me. And the sane few of us apparently.

[Fyce]

No, I will not throw away all these event items and the ones filled with memories like my very first Allagan Weapon, dropped on my very first T5 down.
I'll also not throw away all these materias I have just because Lv.V is on the way.
Same, that pre-50 gear is staying with me since I still have to level some crafting classes (which is also why I won't throw away old "junk mats", because I'll need them) and because the new classes are Lv30.

You cannot just throw away everything and call it a day.

Seriously tho', why the hell don't you want free inventory space? In what way will that harm you?
Everyone against the idea of free inventory space just sounds like they are saying something like this: "I don't want to end world hunger because I have enough things to eat already, thank you very much."

This is why we can't have nice things.

I know I don't have much to say on this matter since I only have 2 jobs at 50 and don't craft except when I am bored, so I got plenty of free room.
But remember that this is a RPG game, and with all RPGs (I have played atleast) there are limitation to how much you can hold at once. We are given a choice on what we wanna keep and sell etc etc.

BTW, most event/season stuff can be bought by a vendor (as long as you finished it once). I have done so several times and sold on the market and earned myself a few GIL doing so.

And ofc I don't mean that you have to throw away EVERYTHING you have stored. But maybe sort out stuff you havn't used for a long time and perhaps sell it for a few GIL on the market. And if needed later on, buy some or gather it yourself.
Since the prices on the marker changes constantly you could sell something and later buy it much cheaper. I have done so many times aswell and earned more in the long run, itemwise and GILwise.
