[DEV REQUEST] Balancing Character Customization

[Lycieus]

Its a similar issue to the common misconceptions that people have with inventory space. They wonder why if we can purchase an extra retainer, why cant that extra space just be given on our characters. Its the same issue, 1 character with 100 slots plus 1 retainer uses the same amount of available memory when they summon a retainer as a person with 1 character with 100 slots and 10 retainers. Because only 1 retainer memory is loaded up at any given time. The character inventory memory remains the same at 100 slots

Adding a glamour log or a tackle box would be similar to adding another retainer in this regard. In fact, in the case of a glamour log, it would save memory since you could strip the items registered to it of extra information such as who crafted it, what colors it was dyed, combat stats, etc.

In summary, this doesn't quite apply to inventory. Square wants to make money selling retainers and doesn't want to expend the effort to add features most other MMOs have.
