Pay for your inventory.

[Souljacker]

I applaud your industry, sincerely. But I have more money than I need and less time to play FFXIV than I would like, so I have chosen a different path. Hopefully both our paths allow us to enjoy the game.

I find it fascinating that your very first four posts are all in this thread to support paying for inventory. Was that a coincidence?

It's like this: usually I just read the FFXIV reddit, but I'm psyched for HW so I browsed here to. This thread caught my attention so I logged in and posted a comment. Then I followed up on replies and other posts. Call it a whim if you like, nothing darker.

It's just a distraction to keep me from the work I really should be doing. Fortunately the servers are down tomorrow so I can make up the time I should have worked today.

So...is it definitely confirmed to not be a typo in the patch notes? (because I saw a slight error in the Scholar quests section)

I thought for sure that we were getting a third free retainer with 3.0, but I guess I misunderstood or things were translated poorly or something. This is pretty disappointing to me, and I really don't want to have to pay $2 per month extra just to spare myself some inventory woes. It's not that I can't afford it. My boyfriend and I already spend $30/month on this game (or somewhat less with subscribing for more than 1 month at a time, but still), and I have always felt like quality of life changes like increased storage and whatnot were something included with a subscription fee. I have never played any other game, free or subscription, that asked for a monthly rental fee for extra storage space.

I find it hard to believe that having a fully functioning armoire and/or a glamour log would be difficult to implement, and both of these would go a long way to help out with storage capacity problems they claim to have. At the very least, it would be nice to have account storage or be able to mail things to alts. Using FC chest to transfer things between alts is not an option for everyone (Both my FC and my alt's FC chests are pretty much full at this point, and not everyone has full FC chest access either). I don't know, some sort of change would be nice. I got rid of a lot of glamour things and crafting mats that I was holding onto so that I could make some space for 3.0 things, but that still only left me with about half a retainer of space.

Bottom line is, if the game says you can do everything on one character, and they keep adding kore items/gear to the game, more storage is needed. But to make us pay for most of it is uncalled for, simply adding one new retainer would of been enough. And while we aren't sure, hopefully, if we "complain" enough by 3.1 this will be a possibility. SE should learn not to mention anything with a degree of concreteness, as it drives fans wild with speculation, and when those speculations aren't realized, there is a major backlash.

Eventually gear is replaced though, least.. I know that I replace my gear when I get new pieces? I'd hope people replace theirs when they get newer pieces too, meaning the older gear shouldn't sit around anyways unless it's gonna be desyn'd or something. :/

Only excusable reason I could think of is if another class needs the gear but then you just toss out the other gears you're not glamouring or like to glamour with to GC or something. :/

For mats.. well I do the same thing but I am probably going to try to toss out stuff that I can easily get back or make if there's a lot of newer mats however I still do have room even with mats from 2.0 ~ 2.55.

And to put this out there for people; I have bought from mogstation like fantasia and my wristlet but nothing like a mount, minions or retainers so I'm still dealing with 2 myself but... there's ways to manage the issue with two retainers i'd like to believe.

Agreed, someone should make a petition thread to get one of the retainers for free, or have different options to chose from such as "Three free retainers total" "A discount for paying for all retainers" or "It's fine the way they've made it" so that all PoV's are seen.

Play with the bare minimum or pay is a thing in the F2P/P2W, It shouldn't be in a P2P

Back in my day we didn't have no retainers. All we had was a gobbie bag and a mog safe... and we liked it!!!

lmao, I remember just packing my moogle house away with any kind of furniture just for all the bonus safe space. The Gobbie bag was awesome.

Of course, if you were die-hard and insane you also had like 5 different alts acting as mules.
