It is time to get a 3rd free Retainer

They could increase the stack size. Assuming they used the smallest integer type for the stack count, they could change the stack size from 99 to 255 without any changes to the data model of the game.

They've already announced they are going to do that, to 999. But that'll save the average player what? 3 or 4 slots I'd imagine. I have 4 retainers stacked and full inventory on several characters, made new alts just to hold stuff that doesn't really have a current use, and this change to 999 stacks isn't going to make a big difference. I already tend to get rid of sellables after 99, so I'll gain a spot or 2 from things like beastmen tribal tokens but that's it.

Indeed the problem isn't quantity of single items but the quantity of how many items are in the game. Between glamour and crafting materials alone there is enough in this game to easily fill 7 Retainers, and that is not counting materials that only serve to make other materials or High-Quality versions of all those materials. Mind you glamour only takes up every slot on 1 Retainer if you try to get unique glamour for all 26 classes but still...

I don´t understand why SE doesn´t implement an account based bank with sufficient slots.

The technology is already ingame with FC banks. They could get rid of the retainer inventory which seems to cause so many problems. And the game would be much more alt-friendly.

I try to level all DoL/DoH and spend already a lot of time managing my retainer inventory and the MB (with 8 retainers). Sure, I could further optimize the available space, but switching between retainers, searching for mats that are momentarily not needed and worth posting on the MB is just not fun for myself.
I would prefer to spend this time with crafting, gathering or playing my DoW classes.

Having to spend 10 extra euro per month to avoid the most of tedious work in a game just isn´t a good design.
