I don't see why the fact you can manage your items is justification for Enix charging more than twice a regular sub fee if you want the amount of storage space other games offer for free.

I have 2 retainers and I'm a lv70 omnicrafter/gatherer. So I manage. But I don't see it as a positive point that I have a fraction the amount of storage that I did in WoW. It would be nice to have more storage. For example, one of the first things I did at 70 was reduce all my non-endgame HQ mats to NQ. But then frequently friends or FC are leveling crafters and I wished I still had that stack of 520 HQ twincoon to pass over to them since it would help them a ton. I can't even pop them in the Company Chest because that has no storage too.

The cost of max bag space is excessive. Tbh even 1 more free retainer would be great.
