Remove items then like explained in the op and my example with the 3 sand items from the steppes 70 node. Put currencies in a currency tab. How come currency bloat is never bought up in these live letters? Asking questions to make better use of space, letting us have better storage options? Or how the Op talked about removing item management from retainers completely?

"The number of items available has increased in Patch 4.0. We’re making sure that important data isn’t lost, and also so that it can’t be exploited, so it’s difficult to just simply add more slots. "

Remove item storage from retainers and give us a bank if it can't be done of giving retainers more slots. How come the Dev team does not understand they have so much mog station glams and other glams that can't be stored that we do not have enough space to function? Also what about them understanding what we mean by glam log? Some kind of bait tab? The fact that you need to hold on so many items to craft like going though 5 stacks like it was nothing because of the 4 items going into a nugget, to go into an ingot, only to have that ingot to go into another plus 4 more items? Why set up crafting to go though so many items when there is space issues?

This game is not worth more then 20 dollars a month, it is crazy for them to expect people to pay so much for extra space. I really think we should at least got 3rd free retainer in HW then another in SB, so we should be at 4 free retainers now. The cost is too high for space for a game clearly lacking it, even with 8 retainers.

Does anyone want a glamor history? this is not a fix.

What exactly do they even mean with glamour history? Is this their description of a glamour book or is this simply some way to look at past glamour items? (Which does not help at all)

I was wondering this too.

If they structure a glamour history like the crafting history, it would get added to a recent glamour history where you would possibly be able to select that previously used glamour. This would still probably require us to have the items in our bags still and literally solves nothing.

They need an actual glamour log and seem to be so against putting one in; it's very irksome.

I still thinking being able to transfer stuff to alts is the solution to all of this. Mailing stuff to alts, while clunky, would be a start. Shared storage that alts can access would be great. Why not have an option to have a retainer be shared between characters on the same server? They keep saying server load is an issue. My main and my alt will never be logged in at the same time. It gives me more storage without increasing the number of slots used at a single time.

While mailing things to alts and having an additional account bank would be nice, it would not solve several of the biggest burdens on inventory/retainer space. Honestly for me, crafting mats take up very little space. It's mostly gear stored for glamour, special decor, and all of SE's random currencies and quest items.

Yoshida: However, we’re planning to touch on glamour in the future, and we’re planning functions such as accessing glamour history.

I certainly hope they "touch" the glamour/inventory issue in more ways than just a "recent history" feature. Not that I would be opposed to having a recent glamour history list. I would just rather that be only a small small part of the overall solution, rather than the only solution. I certainly hope that's not the only thing they have planned, but rather they only thing they've mentioned so far.

I thought it was pretty telling when he said that there was a huge difference between people who buy extra retainers and those who don't. Does that mean they think people who don't buy extra retainers have no need for better storage options? If so, they are still missing the fundamental issue that storage and personal inventory are and should be 2 different things.

They are using data that thinks them look good when in reality it makes them look greedy. Of course not many people have 8 retainers full of stuff, it's prohibitively expensive. The entire point is disingenuous.

Yeah. I don't rent (let's use the proper word!) ANY extra retainers, not because I don't need them, but because I find the concept abhorrent in a subscription-based MMO. Heck, I wouldn't partake of it in a free-to-play MMO.

That was my exact thought when reading that from the live letter. Are they greedy or out of touch? Seems that they care more about the money the minority use on PAID Retainers more than everyone else. They have even stated that increasing retainer space was much easier than character's and they could solve SO much using retainers. 1. Increase retainer space instead of character inventory. 2. Allow crafting while retainer inventories are open. Boom! Just solved a big chunk of glamour and crafting related inventory issues. Not all, but this is significant low hanging fruit.
