This is a problem I had in FFXI as well with the way storage of such items wasn't added until the following patch. Why don't they add new event items that are being added to the Armoir as the items are added instead of with the next big update? We have two sets of event items now and there are more coming up before 2.2 I believe. People are struggling with inventory and retainer space as it is already.

When new event items are added, why are they not added to the Armoir at the same time?
