It's a standard among any MMO that throws junk into your inventory constantly. You go up to the Item Shop when your bazaar is full, click "Sell", lock down the items you want to keep, and then click "Sell All". And you're done. Took less than 2 minutes. The game even remembers which items you locked down so that you don't have to lock them down again next time you sell.

In FFXIV, you choose the option "Sell", you click on each item you want to sell, a second window appears that asks, "Are you SURE you want to sell this?", you click "Yes". Then you repeat that window for every item you want sold. It can take an upwards of 10-15 minutes! And for the gold you receive for selling items to an NPC shop, you're better off just dropping anything unwanted from your inventory when it gets too full, or sticking it in your bazaar's extra 10 spaces. This is absolutely unacceptable.

It wasn't so much of an issue in FFXI, where items weren't piled onto you with each monster you fought. XIV has nearly quadrupled that rate of item acquirement however. The same selling method is just a tedious chore now.

I think that because it is such a huge time consuming chore, most players avoid doing it. In fact, for me, it's stopped me from playing altogether. The idea that another round of gathering and levequesting will gain me a garbage bin full of useless items I'll never use OR sell, is REALLY disheartening.

This is a much simpler, quicker fix than say, adding an AH or giving us more inventory space (from my point of view anyway). Is it unreasonable for me to be angry that the dev team hasn't even mentioned this option yet?

C'mon people! DEMAND IT!
