Inventory being problematic!

[Voltyblast]

To be fair to SE, FF14 has offered as much inventory space as WoW does if you max out all your storage with just the two retainers you get for free. Storage space wise its actually a pretty competitive game.

You could be right....if we didn't have the chance of having 23 classes into one character. I still have space in mine BUT I am running low even by focusing only on the fighting classes (I'm gonna do crafting and gathering later).
Per se, this isn't a big issue YET, but knowing SE i wouldn't be the least surprised if they wouldn't add more retainer space in the future, yet we have 30 classes to level up. At that point, it won't be any more acceptable, to a point that we have to buy retainers just to keep our gear deposited. At that point, might as well go on a f2p game and spend 10 bucks on an inventory storage: it's a one time purchase for one thing!

My point is simply one: those two games I mentioned (but you can apply this also to any mmorpg that doesn't allow multiclassing) have far more better implementation of the inventory, simply because there's just one "bank" per character and it's normal to not have them big: you don't need a lot of space on one character, so it's acceptable.

In this game, where you can have 23 jobs - meaning that you'll have approximately 276 class equipment (which means nothing else BUT gear and weapons) - the inventory space is starting to show its limit and the ONLY WAY to possibly add more space is to pay an additional fee on your sub because....I dunno, weren't we supposed to get additional space at the expansion release?

And don't get me the "release better content yet" excuse: we're still starving and the biggest stuff we got was a crappy minigame (LoV) and a crappy dungeon (diadem). If i had to salvage something out of this mess is probably Thordan...and that's also dead!

Everything the devs said made it sound like we were all getting a free retainer to help with gear storage in HW but when it hit we got "...and you can all buy one more retainer!" So it was kind of a slap in the face.

I only play one job, and I love me some glamour gears, and I had to buy a third retainer, and tons of my friends who craft have to buy extra retainers just so they can keep their mats. Really sucks that you have to pay monthly for storage space, I'd much rather pay a one-time fee, but I doubt SE will change that when they can easily put people in a position where they have to buy extra retainers, and pay monthly for them.
