Something needs to be done about inventory space

[Nightingaile]

All these people willing to jump through any amount of hoops to make this not Square's problem. Like Square is their best buddy and cares so much.

"They've already made so many improvements for free!" - Great, except they need to do more. We're paying them to.

"There's a technical limitation and it would cost a lot of time and money to fix!" - Alright, good thing this isnt one of the most popular MMO's on the planet at the moment. /s. Spend the money on fixing it.

"If you had more space you'd just fill it up again!" - Not looking for a fix to human flaws, just an alleviation. Other games handle inventory with greater competence. Just looking to match what already exists.

"Players are just lazy" - Between the UI and the options we have, the system we have is clunky and feels like a game from a decade and a half ago. It's annoying to use. Excuse me if I don't feel like struggling with it all the time. Stop blaming the customers.

Anyone who believes that this is somehow out of Square's hands to fix is delusional.

Let me ask you this - If they started losing a large amount of subscriptions and were able to pin it down to people hating the inventory system - Do you think they would say "aww oh well. Guess we cant do anything about it!" ?

Think about it.

In a perfect world sure, more inventory would be great, but I have all crafters and gatherers at 80 and only 3 combat jobs, all the rest are at various stages of leveling. I frequently have 3/4 inventory bags empty and have plenty of space left on retainers and saddlebag. The only place I frequently have issues is main weapons and rings. The difference? I manage my inventory and don't hoard crap I don't need or is easy to replace.

It would be nice if we had more inventory, but the solution to running out is at your finger tips.

I get where you're coming from. I myself have two characters with all 80 combat jobs and all 80 crafting/gathering jobs. I've done the management plenty.

I *can* manage my inventory. I *can* get my inventory down to 1/4 bag or a bit less. I just *HATE* the process of doing it. It's a chore. And while that chore would have to be done with or without more inventory space, giving us more options to store things like crafting materials, glamours, and miscellaneous items can only help.

And I often think to myself "if I had another 400 glamour chest slots and another retainer, would this still be this annoying for me?" And my answer to that is "no".

I think it *can* be done and I think it *should* be done.

That said, I really appreciate your response, which was respectfully given and thoughtful. Thank you.
