Pay for your inventory.

Cash shop features are a slippery slope. This has been said many times already, now people who were like "nahhh" are finding it out too.

Like I said before, even free to play games don't make you subscribe to your bank space.

Bags in the cash shop if you want a larger inventory.

Subscribe =/= buy.

"free to play games" don't make you subscribe to anything, that's why it's "free to play". The equivalent to subscribing for P2P would be microtransactions (buying) for F2P.

Edit:

I agree with the suggestion to actually buy the retainer instead of renting it, if SE insists on having the players pay for extra retainers.

In fact no, there are free-to-play games out there that include monthly rental items as part of their cash shop. Usually costumes, occasionally weapons.. depends on the game. However as you've correctly pointed out, these games have no attached subscription fee. I've never seen one that rented bank space. It probably exists now that I think about it because there are approximately infinite free-to-play games out there, so the law of large numbers comes into play.

FFXIV is not a free-to-play game.

Since FFXIV has a subscription fee attached to it, there's a certain expectation of what you're supposed to be getting. So when I say that not even a f2p game does this, it doesn't mean that it's a really cool idea and a sub game should do it. It means that even a game that doesn't have a guaranteed regular income from every one of its players doesn't stoop to this.

Nope, still saying "nahhh". And still don't mind.

Well, you know what they say about people and assumptions! I'm still pretty nahh on it as well, it would of been cool for 1 more retainer but hey least I can toss out all that gear on my one retainer making it basically an empty retainer like magic!

I agree with the only pre-ordering if I know I'm gonna no matter what. Besides if I didn't pre-order I probably wouldn't find any point in playing anymore as lvl 60 seems exclusively tied to expansion along with new story/dungeons/trials/job quests and additional higher level skills.

Good for you

I wish I was made of enough money to be so loose with my spending as to not care about obvious cash grabs being introduced to a favorite game of a favorite hobby. But if you are, more power to you! Hopefully SE won't ever push your limits like they're pushing the limits of many people already.

You assume and exaggerate far to much
