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

[Naunet]

does 2 dollars a retainer really break the bank for all y'all?

Renting inventory space. Renting. Inventory. Space.

No other AAA MMO RENTS INVENTORY SPACE. It's disgusting.

It's business.

You get the game development you deserve. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm pretty sure they take that in consideration. As a service provider, they also have the right to ignore your wants so long it doesn't break your contact.

That is completely fine. 100% not sarcastic. People need to make money. If that is the driving factor (which it feels like) come out and say it. "We have chosen to not reduce item bloat because it would cut into our bottom line." Instead we get limitations, apps, design, staff, and blah blah.

Some of the suggestions are little to no workload. Not to mention scrips and other crafting turn ins have come up as bloat for more dedicated crafters, but maybe not hardcore market board controllers. They added crafting quest where an npc gives you an item to craft for the turn in. Some of the fix is right there no more item bloats for any turn ins. Beast tokens can be one currency on a tab, no excuse. The items are locked behind rep. You can control when people can get items with rep grind.

Thus why several of us are unsubbing or threatening to unsub. Not sure why you feel the need to defend shoddy business practices, though.

What if it does?

Playing an online game is a crazy luxury. You are spending both time AND money on something completely non productive. If you have the 12-15 dollars a month to pay for a subscription, it's hard to imagine someone who can't cough up 2 dollars per month for something else. If I had to worry about 2 dollars a month, the last thing I would be doing is playing video games.
I've gone for a long time with 2 free retainers. I only made the decision to grab the other 2 recently because it became more trouble than it was worth to parse down my crafting mats into expensive/rare only.

I'm not saying you HAVE to pay, just that the pricing for extra services in this game aren't unreasonable.


and before I get the "RENTING SPACE" argument: you are renting space already by subscribing, agreeing to rent MORE space isn't a sin.

Blind loyalty.

I have a friend at a live-in workplace that included "room and board", a selling point at the time as the pay wasn't very good. But we're talking heavy labor, while breakfast was a donut and coffee, lunch a pb&j, and dinner similarly light.

Anything more required a meal plan, utterly absent from mention before he sold his apartment and started work there.

Here the meals, so to speak, are decent enough, but still not always proportionate to what would be expected for the full range of activity involved.

See why someone might feel cheated?
