Please let us buy more retainers

And this sort of nonsense is why people are always complaining about the Ul'dah wards being full.

I consider inventory management to be part of a game. I personally feel we have an excessive amount of inventory space currently. I wish they would switch to weight-based systems found in other games.

Not that I have all my classes leveled or anything, but I don't see how inventory management is so difficult... I'll read on I suppose.

I think it's a sum of a few problems that builds up to overflowing inventory.

• Not being able to sell off the items fast enough at the rate people obtain them (E.G. Materia)
• Not being able to use the items fast enough at the rate you produce them (E.G. crafting)
• Not being able to store the event items away for safe keeping (E.G. swimsuits)

I shutter to think what it would look like after we have player housing. Hope furniture, trophies, and so forth doesn't just suck up inventory space like crazy.

Its true that my retainers are almost full most of the time, but I can always get rid of some junk I dont need to make some space.

However, one thing is kiling me on space, wich is materia not stacking. For the love of God, please make materia stack.

i need more retainers it take a billion mats to get 1 crafting level, all my fighting classes are lv50 so i have a lot of equip too 11 more months were getting 100 slots again

I do think more space or storage is needed in some fashion.
There is way too many event items, every event/holiday is a -3 to 8 inv, and if they didn't want you to have them, they wouldn't put them in the game, or have achievements for getting them all.
Secondly, most inv issues are caused by materia IMO. Crafters are not only holding on to materials they wouldn't normally stock except to make some to spirit bind, and I'm sure like myself it's in direct inv, not retainered, followed by the materia itself.
Now I'm sure again the strain on space from the above is because were trying to better our equipment.... Meld Double ....triple....... So on. So if your NOT having space issues, it's most likely your not a crafter ( having it rank 50 and not using it isnt what I consider to be a crafter, you simply leveled the job for whatever reasons ) and you are satisfied with your current state of gear, not a bad thing, but don't be so self righteous about our space.

More retainers, I'm not so sure about, but event item storage really should be implemented, if they are going to keep throwing us nostalgic items at 20+/yr

in this case more inventory will not help, even with 50-100 more slots youll still run out that quickly cuz youll still not be selling rings faster then you are making them

Ahh, but it will help. I am unclear what angle of logic your attempting to use to convince me more space is a bad and will not help me in any way. I did not only mention rings, I mentioned I maintain an array of items frm my DoL eploits to level DoH classes in the very near future.

You would be hard pressed to find some out of the box path of logic to convinve me I do not want more inventory space.

I'm not sure why people are so vehemently arguing against more retainers -- if you don't need them, don't buy them, problem solved. And if there's a "max two active in wards" limit as previously mentioned, it wouldn't even impact anyone else.

I hold onto mats for crafting, and between that, tons of materia, and event gear, both my retainers are full. I would gladly pay for more retainers.

I don't think they are arguing not having more retainer... just they think some people need better management skills, also about ego or pride or something...I donno
But, I think it's more than the management skills. it's also lots personal preference and play style involve.

I'm the person who usually been request to craft something or I'll help new joined friends with lowbie gears... I'm also the person if I need to craft something I will not pay over 10k for a single mat, I'll go farm/gather them. (lots mats are over-priced in the ward due to lazy rich people...) so when some mats running out I'll also fill them back in. It's just my personality involved. I dont want to farm the mat or spent 10k for a bomb ash to get a steel ingot. I don't like to ask for help from friends too...

Just out of curiosity, what the hell are you guys hoarding that takes up the majority of 500 inventory slots!? Not to mention 30 extra bazaar slots. I really can't understand this.

I have about 100/200 on my character taken up and one retainer with about 40/150 taken up, the other is completely empty. I have everything I need plus random mats, dark matter (like 15 stacks lol) and other crap I probably don't even need.

I'm not saying no to being able to purchase more retainers. I just can't fathom how someone could use up all of that space o.O

Most MMo's dont let one character be every job in the game. Are you really suprised that, after more than year of no content that advances the game foward (level caps ect.) that people are leveling every single job, including crafting and DoL jobs? Its extremely easy to fill up 500 spots. Not to mention that right now we have 2 seperate recipe lists going for each crafting job. I guess I am just suprised that your suprised.
