With all due respect, based on your forum start date, you've only been playing 2 years.

After 9 years I have 10 full retainers, 2 full saddle bags, a full glamour dresser (thank goodness more is coming) and my inventory usually only has about 5 slots free. Oh and my housing storage is full of event items as well.

Could I get rid of things? Of course, but why should I have to? Most of it is crafting materials or tokens which might come in useful later and I don't want to waste time/Gil by having to get them again. Very few of the items are ones that can be bought from an NPC (just the ones I actively use).

If the number of items in the game keeps increasing then logically the available storage should also increase in-line with the new items. Sadly it's not in SE incentive to do this as they know they can sell more retainers.
