You must never craft.

It's getting crazy, they need to stop making all these new crafting materials because my retainers are running out of space

You must never craft.

I have all my crafters at 60, and soon to be 2 at 70, along with gatherers, you on the other hand, dont appear to craft much. Its not hard to gather mats as you need them, instead of hoarding everything.

You must be a light crafter then...most people who focus on crafting don't spend hours a day gathering 200 items from 50 different sources or rely on the volatile MB supply/prices. We stockpile...

Seriously. Waiting until you need something to go get it is how you wind up paying out the nose for something like gold ore, or dravanian paprikas. Admittedly, the additional abilities gained by DoL in SB have made milk runs of that sort much less time consuming, but still, there's no way I'd be a Goddess of the Hand right now if I had needed to waste time fetching old world mats everytime I needed them.

I have one whole retainer (paid one sadly..) just for glamour and housing stuff and I had to throw away some weapons to store some new glamour...the other ones are full with gathering stuff and other currencies..I am not going to throw these items away to have more space and have to gather it all again if I need it..If you do not have space problems then its good for you but not everyone is that way.

Some people love to just collect dungeon gear because they like the look or maybe want to appreciate the work that SE put in them. So like a lot of people said, a glamour book would be a real deal breaker with the inventory problems.

Its not hard to gather mats as you need them, instead of hoarding everything.

If you craft one item or two its mostly not that time consuming but I want to craft at least each item once so I did a whole lot of crafting at one time and all I can say is: It took days to just collect the raw material that I needed for this and I could not craft everything once because I did not have enough space for the raw items so I had to split that too. Its a lot of work and time if you craft more than one item. Also some need items that are rare or timed, so no I will not throw those away..

Since we're employing anecdotal evidence, I don't even craft, my retainers have nothing but spare housing items and glamour pieces. They are all full, and my inventory is nearly so. The only thing the space increased helped with was armory chest space, of which I currently have an abundance.

Will only cost venture tokens

Will only cost venture tokens

This is so funny, I cried inside. Inventory/retainers are an issue because of recipes requiring older mats all the time not letting us move on. So the solution is to have more retainers so you can venture them to get the mats. I will probably be gone but if trend continues old beast tribes will have something added to them in the 4.0 series which in turn will punish people who didn't sit on tokens or fate turn in items. I in no way greatly benefited from having close to 600 ixal knots when they added materia to that vendor.

Again if SE would just say no more forcing players backwards dump those items. I could get behind don't keep it. Stormblood mats should probably fit on one retainer. One retainer for glamor. A solution for seasonal housing items (not the mogstation). Reduction of food/potion recipes, the 3 per craft is an improvement, but not enough. Most people could probably get down to two.

Thank you OP for compiling all those lovely suggestions, maybe if the community keep asking for it SE will finally do something about it, and yet, there are people who are against reducing item bloat, apparently some people find spending hours on sorting out all the junk we get and rerunning old dungeons every time you need to glamour fun?

I put crafting on hold since HW because it's too much of a hassle to make space and the problem will only get worse with each new set of dungeon\glamour gear we get, really disappointed that we didn't get any extra free retainer after 2 expansions yet we can rent them for $$
