    It would be a lot easier not to be a hoarder if the glamour system was sensible. However, because you're required to possess an item in order to glamour it, that pretty much means you have to keep all of the dungeon/non tradeable gear that you like. Plus anything crafted that was expensive.

    For, you know, every single job.

    So it's pretty much what the game encourages you to do. If we didn't have to possess items in order to glamour them in the future, I doubt there would be half as many complaints.

    That has taken up a lot of space for me. I wonder, would it be reasonable to have a glamour catalog/journal? It gives you everything in the game and highlights what you do not have...once you obtain it, it becomes unlocked in the journal for you to glamour on...or would that be too hard? I don't know the core mechanics to coding and designing. I took a coding course once and it was very basic..and that was enough for me..

    I will say you're right to an extent. I was trying to level every single job, every single crafter and gatherer. I stopped trying to do all that recently. It is insane the materials you need to hold onto. I've found that lower level things I can craft food / medicines for and purchase. If I need something more intense I will ask a FC member to craft it for me. Since I've done that I've really made a lot of space.

    But that lovely system that makes me keep all that gear I might want one day. Some I toss because I know I'll see it again. Others like Scyllas gear..I keep because I knot, for now, I won't go back in there for a while.

    Aren't we all?

    But that isn't the entire problem. Don't forget that dungeon running has the annoying tendency to bloat your inventory with trash drops...

    I'm always a few slots from max and all my retainers are full. Don't have max crafts but I leveled just about all of them. It's getting a little tight in there.

    Still 2 retainers.
    Just collect mats for lv51+ crafts, sell what you don't use or transer them to another character with the FC safe, and put the gears into the armory chest. And collecting glamour is optional and not releated to the amount of leveled jobs.

    Also for glamour you don't use often, there is a cheap way.
    Wait until 1-5 days are left for the sub, buy a retainer for just some cents (because of only 1-5 days), put the glamours into that retainer you don't need for the next month, but don't want to throw away, let the retainer sub run out and don't refresh it until you need the gear again.

    Being a video game, everything is optional. Dungeons are optional, raiding, golden saucer, crafting, gathering, jobs, it's all optional, but the game has to be set up in such a way so that it has the infrastructure for its important components. Like it or not, glamour is a hugely important component of the game for a lot of players. Part of having the infrastructure for glamour is having the space to keep glamour gear or else a different system to manage glamours.

    Teeechnically, even life itself is optional, as you can take the option to die instead. Living is a desire, not a necessity. But that would lead the discussion mildly astray...

    Which leads further support of my point Life might be optional, but that doesn't mean we don't want a good life.

    No ones gives you a good life for free. You gotta pay dues and work for it. Having a nice life is a lot more taxing (literally) than paying a couple $$ for extra inventory space.
