Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Nikita]

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!? WHAT would HAPPEN if people had OVER A THOUSAND INVENTORY SPACES!!!!???!!?

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN!?

No, seriously.... What? FFXIV Hoarders TV show?

I am sure that Yoshi-P has some something in mind, and all of your fears are for naught.

You haven't posted anything beyond "there could be inventory exploits" in this thread. Can you give me specific examples of what inventory exploits are?

the exploit he is referring to is just having character so you can transfer stuff to their inv(you would need a middle man of course, a LS friend or whatever)

NO in 2.0 there will be a delivery system.

Yoshi's already stated retainer would be shared across ALL characters on the server. This thread is pointless and dumb. Even less intelligent is the use of the word "exploit"; beyond having LOTS of items which almost anyone, in any other mmo, at any dang time can do right now; provide me one solid reason as to why we can't have more than one character? Are you a die hard ffxi'er who wants to pay through the nose for characters?

If you don't like having them or other people having them than make friends with people who won't do it. Get their login info and check their accounts on a regular basis if they have more than one character. You all can stick together.

your right, that'll make ti easier.

It says it right in the word, no need to.

Also it will create community issues as well, no I'm not going to list em all, just think for a bit I'm sure you can come up with some.

How is this any different than purchasing mules in xi? I don't see the problem here. Yoshi said he estimated the cost of data storage for the extra characters and came up with a price that seemed fair. It's not like it's hurting anything, we're just getting mules / vanity characters for free.

If those characters could be logged on simultaneously I'd agree there was a problem. Honestly I think xi should do the same, the cost of data storage is next to nothing at this point in computing it's bandwith you have to worry about. Since neither game allows extra characters to be logged on at the same time the impact to the game is minimal.

No, sorry, "inventory exploit" is a highly ambiguous term. How does one exploit an inventory? What is an inventory exploit? Can you answer those questions in a detailed fashion?

When you make a claim that X will happen or that Y exists, you have to support it with evidence and explanations.

You know people would like you more if you didn't pull baseless claims out of your a$$ in just about every thread you make.

In gamming exploitation means to take advantage of a mechanism by using it other than it's intended purpose for your own selfish gains. The nyzul item duplication glitch was an example of how you would exploit a game mechanic that was not working as intended. I don't see how using mules to store extra items is considered an exploit. You are not doing anything other than using a game feature exactly as it was designed to be used.

If you can't back up your claims with anything other than "Come on you know I'm right" then don't make them. It's very clear you have no idea what in the hell you're talking about when you can't support your own ideas.
