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

[eschaton]

As someone with every job at 60+, at least 6 at 70, I honestly don't see how people can't figure out inventory management. There's TONS of free space. Hoarding items for no good reason is stupid. If I ever find myself in a situation where I am running low on space, a few GC turn ins , or an AH liquidation always corrects the issue and I walk away richer.

The problem isn't power-leveling boost your characters to 70 as fast as possible and skipping / throwing away everything while doing so... it's with actually playing the game.

You know what's stupid? Standing around on rushed DoW/DoM 70's claiming you got nothing to do and nothing in your bank.

Now that I think about it, giving everyone an extra retainer (and retainer slot, since some people have the max number) would be a good temporary solution to this.

But we seriously, SERIOUSLY need space-saving solutions like fishing tackle boxes, glamour logs, crafting ingredient containers, etc. or else the issue is only going to spiral further out of control over time.

Again, I LOVE how in depth the crafting/gathering systems are in this game (I loved it in 1.0, even, where you literally had to make every piece of every item), but the game NEEDS more options for storage than it currently offers.

Are people seriously threatening to unsub over inventory space?

I understand that it's not ideal, but unsubbing seems incredibly petty.

What point is there in continuing to pay SE if I cannot play the game as I wish? The number one activity that keeps me engaged long term in MMOs is collecting armor appearances. If I have no space to store armors (and I've barely even scratched the surface of armor appearances in ffxiv), then I have no reason to run the majority of this game's content. So why stay subbed? It's not "petty" to threaten to unsub - it's using our strongest tool to put pressure on SE.

They also need to give us an improved retainer UI, or a special "squadron-like-room," where we can manage all of our retainers at once.

Personally, it's a bit irritating that throw-away content like squadrons gets a grand spanking new UI, when content that a vast majority of players use daily gets neglected.

If you don't find the game fun then fine, but this is a pretty silly thing to put "pressure" on them for. They are not required to appeal to your specific desires out of the game. If the dev time and resources are better spent elsewhere (like new content) then I would welcome it over inventory space. Also they have already talked about further expansions on the space. Why don't you wait and see what were getting in 4.1 before you start trying to shame them.

In case you haven't been keeping up to date:

Q24. Please let us know if you’ve finalized the number of slots that will be added in the second Inventory and Armoury Chest expansion.

A24. Unless we change from the current method, we do not think we can add any more slots. There are other factors to consider, such as managing inventory through the upcoming app, so this will take a little more time. It would be difficult to implement it by 4.1, but it is not so far off.

Also, something something customer feedback, something something issue doesn't concern you so other people's concern are invalid/unimportant.

Can't tell if you didn't read or my reading comprehension is off. I'm pretty sure in the context of the LL quote, "but it is not so far off" refers to the upcoming inventory management app and not an inventory increase via changing the coding structure.

I hope it is the later though, and I'll eat my words when that happens.

I don't care at all about "inventory management through the upcoming app". That does NOT address ANY of the concerns mentioned here, and it's ridiculous to claim that SE has made any indication they are interested in addressing inventory issues beyond their token gesture with SB's launch.

Housing another resource hog like inventory. These down the road things get pushed back and back. Lets be completely reasonable, 4.1 is impossible the app is more important. Fair, I don't chose what is and isn't important. 4.2 is probably a testing phase for the app and to see if they can get more inventory to work. We are looking at 4.3 that's 9 months. Something something I want it now. Is not 9 months. Again just working on how slow they are to work with housing the only comparable resource hog. They also had 2 years to add QoL features to instances. How did that work out for us?

Inventory is just an easy target. The people who aren't blinded by the magnificent glow of the dev team. It is pretty obvious that they can't/won't fix long term problems. But people were we got new servers, they are increasing inventory in stages, they truly are working on the problem. But people have solid "SOLID" evidence that this fix was minuscule based on the actual game system. Some people in this thread that defend SE have tried to paint people as unreasonable. Some of the solutions are simple and completely reasonable. They are also not resource hogs.
