Inventory being problematic!

max out your crafters and other toons and come back
And if you like to glam multiple outfits than thats right out the door..

Still 2 retainers.
Just collect mats for lv51+ crafts, sell what you don't use or transer them to another character with the FC safe, and put the gears into the armory chest. And collecting glamour is optional and not releated to the amount of leveled jobs.

Also for glamour you don't use often, there is a cheap way.
Wait until 1-5 days are left for the sub, buy a retainer for just some cents (because of only 1-5 days), put the glamours into that retainer you don't need for the next month, but don't want to throw away, let the retainer sub run out and don't refresh it until you need the gear again.

Being a video game, everything is optional. Dungeons are optional, raiding, golden saucer, crafting, gathering, jobs, it's all optional, but the game has to be set up in such a way so that it has the infrastructure for its important components. Like it or not, glamour is a hugely important component of the game for a lot of players. Part of having the infrastructure for glamour is having the space to keep glamour gear or else a different system to manage glamours.

Teeechnically, even life itself is optional, as you can take the option to die instead. Living is a desire, not a necessity. But that would lead the discussion mildly astray...

Which leads further support of my point Life might be optional, but that doesn't mean we don't want a good life.

No ones gives you a good life for free. You gotta pay dues and work for it. Having a nice life is a lot more taxing (literally) than paying a couple $$ for extra inventory space.

The point of the, admittedly silly, text you quoted was to say that just because something is optional doesn't mean we don't want it to be of good quality. Whether it's wanting a good life, a good root beer, or a good glamour system in an MMO. But yes, in general, life is completely different than MMO inventory space and really can't be compared.

Not only that, but a lot of the gear that they release each patch is clearly designed for glamour-purposes. In fact, they have to rely on us wanting fluff rewards like this (including mounts and minions), since the actual useful equipment is so limited because of the way they designed gear progression in this game.

I'm sure it's easier said than done to sort out the inventory issue, though. I vaguely remember Yoshida saying a while ago that they were considering giving us another free retainer. That would be a start.
