Insanely flawed features that still aren't improved.

1- I wish we could just use materials on our Retainers for crafting... New space I don't need much of, though with Dark Knight coming (even just Ninja tbh), an expansion of the Armoury Chest would be nice. [...]

On allowing items from retainers to be used in crafts; {Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Please}.

As for the Armory Chest though, an entire second Armory Chest would seem like way, way too much, when it would be more useful across the board (and still able to hold gear!) as player inventory or retainer inventory space.

Indeed. This should be a thing.

It's more of an issue if you do PvP, though I guess the new Artisan's/Forager's gear fixes most of the problem, but with AF2 for Jobs on the way I'm doubtful things will always stay that way. Not to mention the developers apparent solution to their Glamour system being pants was "We'll let you obtain multiple Artisan's Glasses so you can Glamour them individually!", so I'd apply the same logic to the new gear (which they made hideous so I'd want to instantly Glamour it back to the beautiful DoL/DoH AF, go figure).

Weapons slot alone needs an expansion though. We have 25 slots for 21 Classes, with 2 more on the way. Factor in PvP and Zeniths and that chest is tightly packed; I actually had issues with it when leveling Rogue come to think of it. Just having an entire second Armoury Chest, while over kill, would be nice. They wouldn't need to update it again for a while, and I can neatly have chest #1 for combat and chest #2 for gathering and crafting. Excess space can always be used for costumes, which I want to wear to goof off, but not to seriously Glamour. Heck, to be honest I'd want a whole Armoury Chest just to carry costumes in...
