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

It's all relative. WoW starts you with 16 slots, and easily 108 slots without having to splurge gold. You're also comparing those 750 slots (which includes retainers. IE, banks) but do not include WoW's banking? That's extremely bias toward comparing inventory slots.

Errm... 750 slots on one character still beats WoW even with the banks. My point was how you'd have to go absolutely crazy with bag slots on WoW just to match the default storage on FFXIV.

The fact is they keep adding items with nowhere for us to put them unless we pay more money, and thats the truth.

Except... it's not. The retainers are not default storage. They're something you unlock IN GAME. Thats a whopping +350 storage slots from in-game play and no extra purchases.

Just because you don't count it, doesn't mean it doesn't count. Again, no one is disputing that there's a lot of things for us to hoard, but the fact is we're having these problems BECAUSE we hoard. It's not an issue with the actual game, nor is SE being even remotely stingy with the inventory space. If you're even halfway honest, most of the stuff we get we could easily discard or sell off, but we don't. We keep it 'just because'.

One of my retainers is stocked on old equipment alone, and most of it I just use for glamors. Do I need any of that stuff? Not really. Do I want it? Of course! I really don't understand how people can say we don't get much inventory space, when the reality is we just find new ways to stock up on junk!
