I completely agree with the OP and, as I said in another thread, I don't see this as very honest. They make us keep some items sitting in our retainers until they flag them as storeable in the armoire (retroactively, instead of on the same patch that they're introduced) and then they make us pay real money for more retainer space? I don't know what to think.

If I pay a monthly sub I expect to be able to obtain everything in-game, even if I have to do a very long quest or whatever. These kind of microtransactions are a no-no for me.
