Inventory space

[Kosmos992k]

If it makes anyone feel better, I have all retainers you could possibly rent (paid not free ones) and 4 characters on my account. Yet I still have no space lol. It's not that I am hoarding everything possible but crafting takes up lots of space, then the gear sets (crafted/looted,tomes), relic items for multiple jobs, orchestra scrolls they sneak in your inventory and nobody wants, stacks of potions nobody needs and the list goes on... If I could pay for more retainers, I would but these are sadly limited, however I would welcome some inventory or armory increase especially if they are adding more jobs with 4.0.

You could always vendor your junk that "nobody wants" and "nobody needs"...

The day my inventory gets full and I don't want throw anything I have away, is the day I retire from this game and it's coming close. To hold onto gear for every role is insane! I've stopped leveling new roles, because that means more gear to hold. I have to hold onto older leveling gear to use for the next role I was going to level. Since gear passing leveling stage are also mostly locked to specific roles, also hurts the clutter. Materials for crafting, currency, chrystals, atma, etc. are the icing on the cake. Inventory is bursting and might have to just give up. Next patch is coming and that might kill me. I love this game, but inventory issue is a killer. They should've given us free retainers for veterans rewards every other rank or so.

Let go of your leveling gear, unless it's unique items, you can purchase or craft copies, so why hold onto them? Come to think of it, a lot of the 'unique' items can be reclaimed at the calamity salvager as well, so you may be able to drop some of those as well.

As for 'free retainers', everyone got two with ARR, I feel we should have got a third with HW and potentially a 4th when the next expansion comes because they increase the number of jobs, and therefore gear sets we need to keep with each expansion - which of course put's pressure on our inventory.

The inventory system is robust. I never understood why they divided up our storage between multiple instances. Runescape even has a better system than we do.

My husband and I have our "mains" where we're leveling up all the classes mostly simultaneously. Saving all the gear appearances I like for outfit and glamour purposes alone has filled up an entire retainer, and I haven't even touched HW content, let alone any of the endgame gear/weapons that I know I'll want to farm from ARR content. On top of that, I'm leveling all my crafting jobs... And soon I'll need space for glamour prisms, dyes, etc...

I refuse to fall into SE's exploitative trap to rent inventory space. It's a nasty marketing strategy that better suits a crappy f2p title, not a supposedly respectable p2p one.

We could have a lot more storage if we didn't have all this pointless bloat >_>

Glamour prisms - One is enough, we don't need to segregate by craft and rank.
Dyes - Let them be unlocked once, then usable forever.
Glamour items - Implement a separate glamour catalogue that stores ID and appearance of items so we can ditch the original, that's much less data than also storing stats, HQ/NQ status, condition, materia and spiritbonding information >_>
Tokens and turn-in items - Into the currency tab

The last remaining bastion of bloat would then be crafting mats. But you'd probably have two empty retainers for those by then, so hey!

Really obvious solutions, but SE is king of ignoring obvious solutions. Also trying to exploit people by making them rent inventory space through retainers.
