A consern about space efficieny since stormblood is not getting enough space increase

[Ama_Hamada]

Realistically, one account should only be able to put as many retainers up as they are willing to pay for. This is more about fairness and less about greed. Greedy players who want to spend more real world money, can put up as many retainers as they want as long as they are paying for "store access", not"storage access", and this lack of distinction is why there is an inventory crunch at all. Allow players to create 50 retainers if they really really want them, but each additional retainer can only be assigned to "store", "storage", or "job", not all of the above. Only two retainers can be assigned to "Store", all others can be assigned to storage-only. Only two retainers can be out on a job at once. Retainers that are store-minding can't be out on a job. Item's flagged as "for sale" remain in the retainer's inventory until sold or removed from the market, and you can sell anything from any retainer in any store, but you're still limited to 20 items in each store. If you want to pay more real world money then you can rent more store spaces.

As a further improvement to the store, I'd suggest changing the way the store works to be more market based. eg "Buy at X, sell at Y", therefor solving part of the "(badplayer) is undermining me" problem by allowing players to specify a price that they will buy a certain item at as long as the retainer has space, or the price that the retainer will automatically sell those items on the store if they have it. This would allow players to actually just sell things on the market without looking for the best price or mis-pricing things because the game tells you the NPC price.

Yeah I do like that and why I am trying to give more for SE think about. Give us more free space. Maybe the retainer rental thing is supposed to curb how much someone can sell at once. It would be nice say have a chest in house/fc/appt/inn/ retainer bell? where you can craft out of that does not sell anything.

Isn't that the game where getting the 5 36 slot bags runs around $90 real money or an ungodly amount of Astral Diamonds?

better then what we got, lamo (assuming that game does not have the bloat like we do) and paying once > paying double sub. 2 x 6 month for 6 retainers costs more then that.
