Pay for your inventory.

I think $30.00 a month or anything approaching that, is insane. There's no reason a game should rival my internet bill in cost. I've been playing Final fantasy 11 and 14 for a very long time, beta tested both - and I would not be willing to pay that much. I'll switch to another game, that's not affordable or justifiable in my opinion.

Why would you suddenly be paying $30 a month? You have no obligation to buy all available retainer slots, nor will they be remotely necessary.

Also, where are you getting $30 internet? I couldn't get two Dixie cups and a string for that here.

No they aren't necessary and there's no obligation, but I think a lot of players see it as a slap in the face and/or a bit P2W.

Consider this: the amount of things a person with only 2 retainers can sell, compared to that of someone with 8. Combine this with ventures, and storage space (which many people have been complaining about for a while) and its a bit P2W.

Think of the bigger scale.

We said this back when paid retainers first came out. When simple minions and mounts came out. Then dyes. Now they are literally doubling the amount of inventory space currently available by retainers (by 700) - but we have to pay.

We asked then. I'll ask now. What is next?

Yeap, gotta agree with this sentiment. This is definitely getting into the territory of Pay2Win. I already have a lot of items filling up my inventory, and I haven't even started seriously crafting yet. if I want to craft, I'm going to -have- to buy a third retainer to handle all my armor and items.


The inventory limits in this game are absurd. There is simply no way to handle all the items we have. There is no easy way of storing items for glamor, and there is likewise no easy way of sorting your inventory if you're a multi-classer. For those who play just one role or likewise two roles / two jobs, this isn't too bad. But when you are an omni-60 (Working on gathering next!) You start to feel the poor constraints of the system and those retainers start to look more and more attractive.

SE needs to really do more for the players and stop asking for us to fill their pockets so much. They already recieve our monthly fee. Please stop putting things behind additional out-of-game paywalls.

I really don't think it's P2W. You don't get any kind of stat boosts besides more space to dump junk you should probably be Converting or Desynthing anyway. It's significantly easier to get tome gear than build up the insane amounts of gil required to buy crafted gear. It's a great tool for crafters and gatherers who want to Sell More Things.
