Why So Many Key Item Slots?

Perfect reason why some of this should be client side. If they were, then there wouldn't be this inventory space issue. Everything doesn't have to be server side.

Inventory absolutely has to be handled server side, unless you want people easily cheating their way to ungodly amounts of gear and riches.

This thread is making me think a number of you really do not know how data management works :/

I've come to that conclusion every time I've argued with anyone regarding item storage, glamours, or housing.

The inventory has to be server side, but I can't see why the full inventory data should need to be synced between client and server constantly. Server should push updates to item status to the client as needed (durability, new item acquired). Client side actions that affect inventory state (equipping an item, applying a dye, discarding an item, desynth) should be handled on a per-transaction basis (item with GUID <x> equipped in mainhand, item with GUID <y> placed in inventory slot 7).
