Tired of cluttered inventory?

[Xeak]

In the "Optional Widgets" post there's been a discussion about a widget for gear swapping for each class. Someone liked an idea I had on it so I decided to make a new topic on just this and see what you all think.

Here's the original post:

I understand, yeah that would be a major hassle. I did the same in FFXI, but had to switch gear around myself because I had to switch gear back and forth between mules.

To loosen up cluttering like that, if the widget for gear swapping is implemented, any gear for that class you created the set for should be placed into a 1-slot inventory item with an icon resembling some kind of bag that says "<class> Gear Set." Or, you know, SE can be the same as always and do whatever they can to clutter up out inventory and force us to buy more retainers. I still wish that one day they would remove equipped gear from your inventory instead of have it take up space ... maybe that should be a new thread lol

What's your opinion on it? Like if you like, and maybe give some feedback.

i would settle for a gear tab were I can keep all my gear to put on my other classes.

I like the idea of both an item for storing gear sets, one item per set in inventory and for a widget where the set items could be displayed for quick hassle free changing between classes.

WoW has this. It's called Equipment Manager. Very simple, but very far in the future for this game.

Yes WoW does have the widget described, but it doesn't store each set into like a bag to free up inventory space like is described in the post. At least it didn't when I played.

Most of the inventory problems people express in this game are due to the player, not the system.

I agree, I have no problem with inventory space in FFXIV, and it does seem difficult to run out of inventory space because of the 2 retainers we have now. But all of the gear being separated by what class you use them on would also help with inventory management so you can just go to a retainer, pick up one item that contains all your gear, equip it and you're ready for that class. That's another issue to think about with the cluttering, so you don't have to pick out each piece specifically for each class and have to take the hassle of putting back whatever items you picked up by mistake because you sped through it or had horrible lag.

I wouldn't have such an inventory problem if I could actually sell more than 10% of the item drops I get
