Really tired of the inventory excuses.

Are you referring to the Guild Wars 2 that has a separate storage system set aside for holding every single crafting component available, every single minion-pet available, and a glamour system based on locks/unlocks that eliminates the need for long-term glamour storage on equipment and dyes?

Oh, and it also happens to be free-to-play and not require a subscription fee every month? AND lets you exchange mail between characters for additional storage space?

That GW2?

Yeah, I'm shaking my head every time I compare the two. Probably not for the same reasons as you, though. :P

Don't get me wrong.. I love FFXIV but this is one area they fail horribly at. And it's pretty insulting that all the storage-related-hurdles seem to become non-issues so long as players are willing to pay an additional $2 per retainer per month.

Oh, GW2, the game that has a forced Account Bank that has bugger all space, requires you to buy/make bags in addition to needing to spend 5 dollars or thereabouts to be allowed to increase the banks slots available by 4 - 16?
Not to mention that weapons and gear take up standard inventory slots, limited to 5 bag expansions that are also based on how big the bag is that you put in it.

The only thing GW2 did right was the dedicated crafting component storage.
Well, that and the style unlocks for Glamour, XIV needs that.

Tip, GW2 is not free to play. Its buy to play. Then buy to play the story. Then buy inventory space. Then buy costumes (that are broken as hell, why does my human warrior no longer have feet?). Also needing to buy character slots for 10 bucks a pop. (You only get like 5 free ones)
And then the real kicker, you have to pay real money for the equivalent to our Glamour Prisms.

So uh, lets not be using GW2 as a shining example of MMO-kind. It has some good ideas (which SE should totally stea-- i mean borrow), and some very VERY bad ones.

PS: It also costs real money just to change your hair color.
