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

But having the retainers serve as the interface isn't the real issue there. It's having each one have a separate inventory that causes it. If we had a single unified bank inventory, which we accessed by talking to a retainer (any of them), then we wouldn't be going from one to another for that. Sure the larger total inventory might take longer to load, but if we only had to wait for it once rather than over and over again, it wouldn't be nearly so frustrating.

The only time we'd be going from one retainer to another is when assigning and collecting ventures, or when putting items up for sale (if the later isn't moved off of the retainers to the MB), and for those we wouldn't need to load the bank inventory.

As said I am fine with that if they have to do it that way. I just feel the retainers, for whatever reason have limitations and just feel a new system that can be expanded be easier. They made a claim that seems like the retainers can't access more then 175 items for some reason, it may be a good idea to set something up that can handle inventory data, glam log , etc with a whole new thing so they are not dealing with these limitations. Basically I feel the easier way out for them to deal with the expanding game is cut inventory management ties from the retainers.

we need more comments from development to comment off of and see we can give them an idea on the best way to deal with item and currency management.

What scares me is that they may not want to deal with the item and currency management problem at all. Seeing as they are already handling it in the most profitable way possible using rent-able retainers. I'm afraid the fact that we've gotten this far with no response is starting to feel eerily telling of that notion. Not even getting into the fact that after all these years having inventory troubles it feels like we've never gotten them to take a serious look at inventory issues once until now with stormblood and even this feels like a stop gap rather than anything resembling a fix. :/ Just thinking of all the new gear that's going to be coming with storm blood terrifies me. x.x

Yup. It's honestly making me question whether I should bother playing. -_- Could just unsub until they fix the damn inventory because anything I'd want to do involves collecting more armor I have no room for.

I'm basically giving them a reasonable amount of time to be aware of the issue, and if they don't provide a timeline for acting on it in a time table I consider adequate, I'm done. This issue literally makes the game unplayable without shoveling more money down their throats, and I'm not paying them to make a proper game, I've already paid them enough to have a working game.

This thread should explode when they add an insane amount of items without increasing STORAGE. giving us a partial addition that should been here in 3.0 is laughable if they think that will solve things.

I'm not so sure. The playerbase seems mostly content to take whatever Square gives them, regardless of how terrible it is, and even beg for more. You get the development you deserve I suppose.
