Losing loot when INV is full.

[Valmonte]

Yes, it can take a long time to exchange an item with vendor (I've seen it take up to 5 seconds, and lag can be horrible some days).
Yes, it can take a long time to find your gear on your retainers and transfer them over.

However,

Still not a valid reason why one can't keep 5 slots empty before going in to a raid. (Unless, maybe, they are that one super adventurer that toggles between 7 jobs and 14 sets of gear and a dozen foods and potions on a single raid. Are you? Because.. because.. only Hildibrand is that super!)

Yeah sometimes During LS events i'm asked to switch jobs, maybe we get a pick me up and he only has one lvl 50. its good to be prepared, after all FFXIV is all Rush Rush Rush if your in a pick me up party and you show up without a few needed gear pieces you think there going to wait on you to go get them, hah keep dreaming.

not once did i ever say i didn't have any room, besides don't fool yourself you going to need more than 5 slots, you need at least 15 slots for crap drops from mobs before you even get to the good stuff.

I'm sorry if the people you go with are not patient enough to wait for you to go get your items off your retainer ; ;. I know if I'm in a party and someone needs 5 minutes to get their equipment, it is never a bother for me! If someone forgets something and I have a spare, I offer it as well (sometimes WHM forgets their Iffy or Moogy weapon so I offer a spare Jade Crook).

Also, usually with LSs, we seem to know who will go as what ahead of time. And to be honest.. almost always.. isn't it: WAR, or WHM, or BLM? If a BRD, great. (I know, poor MNK/DRG/PLD ; ;...). So typically we have to only worry about 2-4 sets on us.

That being said, I believe the issue can be solved with:
Being with nice people who will wait 5 minutes (rather than: LOL! NEWB! NOES GEARZ!! LOLZZ! /KICK!)
A little foreward planning (Don't show up to a Fire Fight with a Fork?)
And a bit of dilligent spring cleaning before going into a dungeon where you want to loot stuff...

kinda wish having special & currency items as separate inventory like Gil. I'm talking about beastcoins, tapers, keys, easter eggs, etc. ;D

[Jinko]

they feel like the game should vendor stuff for them, the game should know what they want and dont want and do what they want to it without having to actualy do the work to do it themselves

This is not the case, as usual you are being unreasonable in your accusations, people want easy and fast ways to drop and sell loots, as has been mentioned above in most mmos you don't pick up every crappy little item you have the choice of what you pick up.

Most MMO's have right click to sell from your inventory, you can sell 3-4 items a second if your inventory is sorted correctly. (oh and the servers are fast enough)

Most players (I'll generalise here) want some kind of way to tell how full their inventory is by looking at the main UI, such as the bag UI they are adding in 2.0 in the picture I linked to.

All the above things I have mentioned in a previous post yet you seem hell-bent on ignore them and trolling the thread.

its not even an issue of time constraints, but pure laziness for the sake of being lazy and blaming it on lack of convenience

thats why they are asking for add ons to do all that i mentioned above

Well as I also mentioned previously the pure nature of addons is to allow you to do things faster and in some cases automate a process to make it less bothersome.

Call that lazy if you want, but that's kind of stating the obvious.

Folks this discussion isn't about lag it's about SE needing to babysit stupid players. Read the OP again. It's not about the few seconds it takes to clear stuff from your inventory. It's about SE basically writing code so that we never have to clear our inventories, but when we do, we'll get all th glorious items that we were to dumb to make room for before battle.

210, slots....

Prioritize.

That's not what the thread is about either.

Ya know this constant holier than thou sarcastic bullshit makes these forums tedious as hell.

It's actually worse than the Aion and WoW forums in here at times.

Edit:- And to be honest the loot list is basically already what the OP is asking for, it puts your extra items in a suspended inventory box until you either make room or the timer runs out, of course we have since moved on from that and talked about the 2.0 UI and pop up instructions on leaving an instant to notify that your inventory is full and you have loot in the loot list.

Instead of being an ass why not give constructive feedback and idea's.

[Molly_Millions]

I did, my feedback is: don't be stupid, clear your inventory.

You have to have limits to an inv system. We have that now. If you don't have room, stuff goes into your loot list. Clear some space to make room and the stuff in your loot list goes into your bag. Why the hell would we need more that that? We don't. If you want what's in your loot list clear space for it. it couldn't be more easy. Guess what, it takes no dev work to impliment, but it does require players to use thier heads, which is something most posters around here are not akin to it seems. Fortunately, it seems most in this thread agree with me.

Well the dev team are already in the process of rectifying part of the issue, which is the none viability of inventory space.

If you know when your inventory is full you are then more likely to make space .. d'oh

You will no doubt say .. well you can see your inventory is full by looking at the chat log, but we all know how fast that flies by when in battle.

it wont rectify the issue cuz the same people will fill their inventorys again even with less slots used from the event/af not being there, and then they will whine and complain again

this isnt a game issue as some of us have been saying, its a player issue, certain players just dont want to ever have to manage their inventory
