On inventory and storage management. [DEVS please take notice.]

[l---------------l]

Hi, I have 8 retainers and... It's ... NEVER... Enough.

I'm all-arounder, I like to have all my classes geared up, I have some gear that I still need for leveling, I have crafter and gathering gear, I have crafting materials, I have things I need for glamours, I have tokens and other misc items... I have PvP exclussive gear for some classes, even if BLM is my main in PvP....

Inventory is not enough, retainers... Are not enough (Please don't make it that next retainers are, again, paid)

We really need an urgent rebump of the system regarding this, and that's why, this thread should get the importance and attention that it deserves.

Someone needs to translate this and post it in the JP forums. If we can get them on board with this too we may get at least some of what the OP is asking.

This really needs to be taken care of. With the release of the 3.1 patch there are even more armor pieces to glamour. I really don't know how they expect us to be able to do that beyond a job or two when you've got all the crafting and gathering classes as well.

lack of inventory is a huge issue that i hope gets addressed

I believe the content droughts were a thing far before they doubled their team, but that's more so due to poor management and the fact that they don't work 16+ hours a day like the FFXIV development team (I mean, Yoshida and the core team didn't even get that 1-2 week vacation).

They were, but Blizzard has spefically said increaseing the size of the wow team backfired between MoP and WoD and caused an increase in production time instead of a decrease. Also, staff can't get a vacation? D: That's terrible.

Another questionable category is tokens. Nobody argues their functionality, nobody says they shouldn't exist - I do think we can all agree on these. However, the sheer amount of different tokens we have by now is mind-numbing. Again, just a few I can list off the top of my head.

Aetheryte Ticket, Alexandrite, Behemoth Horn, Blood-spattered Mark Log, Extreme Primal tokens (9 different ones?), Gordian Manifesto (4 pieces), Ixali Oaknots, Moonstone, Odin's Mantle, Rowena's Token (6 different ones I think), Tarnished Gordian pieces (7 different ones), Unstained Mark Log, Ventures

I agree with the OP's sentiments, but as an FFXI player I do find it hilarious that 35 tokens is "mind-numbing". Of course, FFXI's hundreds of token types don't take up inventory space. They're basically treated the same as tomestones, wolf marks, and the other currencies.

Well, you countered your own point. The number itself might not be so big, but the fact that they are physical items taking up space in an inventory that's already struggling to keep up with the item pool is just...bad.

I didn't counter my own point, I was agreeing with you. Just pointing out that I found that phrasing amusing.
