We're suffocating on inventory space - how much of a priority is it to fix it?

Please buy more retainers to alleviate the inventory problem - Yoshida

Not his actual words as that would be a PR disaster but that's literally the best we've got, it's always PS3/server limitations, the servers will explode if we give everyone free retainers, etc. I remember reading pre-Heavensward (or maybe it was a recent interview, I honestly can't recall) that the majority of players haven't even filled their first retainer's inventory, so it's likely not a high priority either.

when has inventory space(or lack thereof) EVER been associated with ps3? By an actual SE employee, not one of the mindless pc masterrace drones. Yes, ps3 has some negative effects to this game but seriously stop placing Every.single.problem on it. No, it's not PS3 holding inventory space back. It's Yoshi-P and his team. They would rather people buy extra retainers for 2.00/month than actually give us an extension to inventory. Don't try to color it any other way.

Well, if you flat out refuse that PS3 is the reason for inventory limitations, I am gonna go ahead and flatly refuse that it's Yoshi-P and his team that's the cause; rather, I would suspect THEIR bosses of wanting to wring as much money from the players as possible.

Like I've said, show me an ounce of proof that THEY have ever placed blame on ps3. I've heard it was SERVER issues, DATA issues, never ps3. It's the way they coded things that's the problem, not the platforms the game is on.

You know that TP bar we recently got? THAT took so long because there wasn't enough memory left to allocate on the PS3. It's not a very far jump from there to saying, "You know that fifth bag slot? Yeah, not enough memory to keep track of 125 items." No, SE has not to my knowledge directly blamed PS3 for inventory issues, that much is true - but they HAVE blamed other things on it.

though it is a jump, just cuz there's a couple issues, doesn't mean EVERY issue is caused by it. That's just being ignorant. I admit ps3 has it's problems with the game, I'm not blind to that, I just refuse to accept the "lolps3" excuse for EVERYTHING
