Will we get more retainers at some point?

It's not much really and the money goes to a good cause. Thats how I look at it because I love this game so much. We have bags to keep at least 1 completely separate set of gear for everything DoW/DoM/DoH/Dol. There's the armour if i'm spelling that right that holds seasonal, promotional, quest items.

There's more of a bonus too than just more inventory space. You get to marketboard more things and you can make several million gil quickly from retainer ventures. Selling minions, materials, and materia and with the 18 hour venture they bring back 3000 or 3500 gil of allagan pieces each time.

Get 1 more and if you don't need it later or the next month. When you cancel paying for that retainer it still keeps everything, gil, items, levels, gear. So you can long term storage stuff like that if it comes to it stuff a retainer full and the next month cancel it till you need that storage stuff again.

Just an idea!

Forgot too that mounts, minions, quest items, crystals/clusters/shards don't take any inventory space which is very nice as well.

That is your mistake, with all due respect.
You need to look at it from a customer standpoint and from that, it is really a bad thing.
Just like selling DLC for 5€ that contains one weapon for <insert free to play game>..
We pay a subscription and it should include sufficient banking space to manage all the stuff you get.

I can't find where SE said it, but many months ago they mentioned that "if everyone had more retainers the server would crash" which is either a load of BS or they have some piss poor servers for "as much as they make" :/ Which goes to show you, they don't seem to put much back into XIV (other issues show this too, lack of a full team, very little actually added and seems to be less each update etc)

Well, an extra crafting material inventory would fix that..

TBH if you play the game enough to need the extra space then you're probably getting your $2 a month worth from the extra retainer.

I'm fine paying money for a extra retainer (as a one time cost), but I'm not exactly comfortable paying a rental for space on top of the monthly subscription. The sad part is I'm still doing it though.

Yeah, I could somewhat live with a one-time fee, even though it would still be bad. But better than monthly payment.

I really hope the solution to the inventory problem is not to add more retainers :\

People that have max retainers pay a lot for this game, lets take a look at the base rate (not looking at ones that a legacy pricing) it is $14.99 a month plus $2 for each extra retainer so you can 6 extra retainer on top of the two the game gives you so $14.99 + $12 (6x2) = $26.99 a month person spends, or if person pays 6 months at a time they spending (cause I don't think extra retainers fees get discounted.) $77.94 for sub and $72 on just retainers fee which = $149.94 just for 6 months. So SE is making a killing off retainers and the amount of people that I hear in game that have max retainers (mainly crafters and gatherers) I don't think SE going to change their business model, because SE is pretty much getting double the money from those players then the ones that don't have extra retainers.
