Pay for your inventory.

[Mature]

I'm happy to pay for extra storage , at the end of the day it's to keep servers clean of clutter.

I made a petition to see just how many people care.
I don't expect it to go anywhere.

sorry I'm lost at this sure ppl will pay for it but WHY??

it makes no sense that they can't give us extra space without the cost!!

is there no room to have this without a cost then why even offer it if there isn't and if there is why charge us?? HUH!!!

i own 4 fcs with alts and chests to put my mats etc but .. i can't even have alts i can mail stuff to to store stuff unless i have another account .. huge money grab..

on another note why do they keep giving us housing wards?? they have spat out blah blah that takes up soo much server space but they can't provide more retainers without a cost!! once again HUH!!

II only have 2 jobs at 50 and don't craft

That explains a lot. You literally have no idea. In this game if you want to be good at 1 crafting class you need to be good at all of them (devs admitted it and that's why to try to change some of it the specialization system is coming up). And having those multiple classes mean your inventory is gonna get destroyed. One of the worst offenders is the division between NQ and HQ items/mats. The upcoming HQ to NQ conversion is gonna help, but what about those items you know you'll eventually need HQ? You'll still need to hoard them.

On a game for which I pay $15 a month plus $40 for the expansion alone?

i did edit my post but not to be rude but care to explain housing then ?? can't possibly take up more server space or cost than the housing districts yet we are charged for a service that a lot won't even use yet ppl are screaming for housing!! so all fairness why are they not charging for housing ??

I understand how frustrating it must be for crafters especially. But maybe 1 person can't be best at everything and have to choose a little. This is an MMO, maybe work together with other people like in the FC or something. Some people might focus more on Blacksmithing while others on Tailoring and so on. And work together with materials and such.

But we have the option to get more space by additional retainers. Allas I find it rather poorly made that it is a monthly cost to hire them. If it was a 1time purchase it would've been much better for everyone. Or atleast 1-2 more retainers being 1time purchase and the rest monthly for those that are truly dedicated and need space.

I really do not understand people defending this change.

Explain exactly what is being 'changed' in regards to the inventory and retainer system. I want to know if you're actually paying attention to the topic or just rambling thinking you're gonna lay down some mad truth.

Why are people happy about a service that should be in the game by default?

Maybe you can instead explain what service people are being denied. Is it retainers? Cause those do exist in the game already. No one is being denied a retainer.

Denying that having more Ventures/Market Board slots/and inventory is literally pay2win is just crazy to me

I challenged another person claiming this shit before, still haven't gotten an answer. Maybe you and your mad words of truth can do it instead? Explain how exactly you're winning more when you spend more money on storage space.

More of some odd chance of getting some piece of gear from actual content through ventures? Or a rare minion? Do minions change the difficulty?

Is it the Market presence? Does having more gold than someone else make you stronger? Can you buy something that no one else can have?

Maybe gaming is doomed to die after all.

/sigh Should I even bother to expect you to attempt to explain this one?

Honestly, while having to add to your sub fee for more retainers is a pretty dick thing to do.

Based off a link I found on reddit, we have at least 725 inventory slots, not counting armory because I have no bloody clue how that one works. I get that there is a lot of stuff to collect and what not, but at the same time, one does not really need to hold on to every little thing.

Hell I'm guilty of this, I have an entire retainer full of glamour items that I know I have no intention of ever actually using but I can't be arsed enough to get rid of, and the other has an entire bag full of Materia which I'm also never going to use. But despite this, I cannot simply sit here and say Square should fix my mistake of being a pack rat when I could just look and actually think about what do I actually need/plan to use and which I'm just holding on to and maybe use.
