Also with their "no more retainers in SB"-answer they kinda made him question if he even wants to continue playing because he loves to collect dungeon gear sets and other glamour stuff (as an appreciation to the work that the designers put into it) and he simply has no space left, even with an alt and every buyable retainer. So not trying to solve the inventory issue (and a glamour log would at least be a good big next step for that) might even mean that some will stop playing somewhere down the line.
    I agree with this point, however, it is also worth considering that SE is more concerned with short-term gains. Their investors are looking at their profits quarter to quarter, so whatever makes them more money for a given three month period is what they are gonna go with. I agree that they may be incentivized at some point to address this issue, but not if enough people don't complain.

    Yeah you sadly have a point. Even though a MMO will always be something like a long time investment but they probably dont want to put too much money in it after what happened with 1.0.

    Well then we should just continue positing about that issue. Maybe they will one day listen to that. (Or not x))

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
