Inventory issues still exist. Why keep adding gear to the game and not room? Glam log

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I said 8 not 6.
I am sick of being full all the time because I have glam sets and crafting mats that I am consistently using and going though. The thing is I do not "horde" or even craft everything on the map, just what seems popular at the time.



You can be an "omi crafter" and not use it much..... I knew plently like that.

And you can be a hardcore crafter without needing 8 retainers worth of space, I know plenty who do that. As well as save glamours.

Know plenty? really? I was not aware there was more then 1-5 people like that per server.

People manage because they have to. I imagine those people would happily take more inventory space if it was implemented. I personally don’t buy extra retainers as I feel this should be something that’s included - renting inventory space is bad.

They may be defining hard core crafting differently then I am but I call hard core crafters that simply craft 24/7, have 2 + chrs for being a true omicrafter, and ofc that helps with space, or having 2 different accounts. I know 2 people here with 2 + chrs on the same account, and a duo boxer 24/7 crafter. Usually crafter alt character have only tank or healer at 70 with all their crafting at 70 for obvious reasons. Then a few others that just appear to be 1 chr/ one account.

With that said...

I was an omnicrafter in 3.x and never needed more then two retainers. I'd gather and craft everything myself. Also if you're going to make an argument about inventory the number of steps in a craft is irrelevant. You only need at most 5 finished ingredients, maybe 7 per craft and if you're turning in 2 or 5 finished products at a time you still don't need 8 retainers worth of materials if you manage right. If you're going to use my Lodestone against me don't leave an opening for counterattack, Princess.

Late HW or having 2 chrs?

Don't you have about 6-8 characters in total from what I've seen?

The Devs are adding what they can and reducing what they are able to. In the end though if you want more than the 2 retainers supplied to you than you will have to pay for that privilege. That's what the retainers are, an extra privilege. That's why they cost money. I'm not against getting a new free one, but extra will always be just that. Extra. And extra always has a cost.

No, it is a crazy cash grab exploitation that should not be in this game, why do you blindly accept how things are? Not even F2P games RENT out inventory space, this is crazy for a sub model, why do they even have this system and why is it called a "privlage"?

at the VERY LEAST we should get an extra free retainer per expansion (Comment based on how things are currently, if they can manage to let the future be passable on 2 then this can be ignored) with the way they add items, because the TOP HOUSING items of 4.1 STILL HEAVILY USE 2.0 "rare" mats!!! they do not let anything go out of date. It is mind boggling to me how endgame crafting expands though 3 different expansions, that is a lot of items that does not need to be.

It's called Keeping Content Relevant.

The last F2P game I played, you only had an inventory of 15 slots and a bank of 20? Shared bank of 10. With premium, all slots were doubled. 30 inventory, 40 bank, 20 shared. More slots had to be bought in increments of 5 I believe for $3 each That game was DC Universe Online but I quit that back in late 2014. For FFXIV

Here I get to have 140 inventory, 350 retainer slots, 40 potential slots via sale slots, 150 FC chest slots, 520 armor slots and all for no extra fees. Multiply that 140 and 520 by 8 because of alts. Then there are the mail slots!

Number of slots does not tell me anything, it is likely that game has more room then this one, lacking all the inventory bloat this game presents. WoW is the same way.

Why would I mention it if it wasn't relevant? Now you're just being a jerk.

Because of what I said, it is right in the quote, there is plenty of crafters, they far out number the active crafters here as well, where onmi crafters do not even use it much. (well also depends on how you define omicrafter as well, as there was a LOT of inactive ones during late HW that did not use it, much more then when 3.4 was new) You should not be calling me that with the first post you presented to me, as that word applies to you more then me.

Also all the hardcore crafters were pure 70 within about five days how come you are not? You did not answer if it was late HW or where you became an omnicrafter during HW, that also matters. Casual crafters can be all 70 by now, so if you say inventory is not a problem for you, and you are behind casual crafters, I question how much you craft.

How come you are only after me saying there is inventory problems? that is targeting/ harassment/ belittling me. You need to understand, I do not like being told I need better inventory management by someone that basically does not play a lot or just started who does not craft. It would be no different then someone has not stepped in savage giving word first groups advice. Also that kind of thing is mocked on these boards as well when someone calls X easy, people look up FFlogs/achievements/etc and call them out on not having experience, this is no different.

If you are going to call me out like you did, I want to see if you can present proof to your big talk, and so far you got none. Do you have a house? a personal FC on an alt? cap gil on retainers? How much do you craft? Build and manage your own airships of your personal fc? What do you do with it?

A glamour log would address any and all of my inventory woes. I change outfits often and have quite a few I am reluctant to part with. Several of the things eating up my inventory are glams I can't get again easily if at all. I'll admit I keep tier V and VI materia and certain crafting mats in stock (but its mostly current xpac mats, not older stuff unless its used in current crafting like say cobalt ore), but the primary thing eating my inventory are glams. A glam log that lets me ditch all that stuff would open up so much inventory and no more inventory would be eaten up by glams in the future.

Same and that is the point of this, and SE keeps saying server limitations and that they can't do it, so at least help us out in other areas? The currency update is a start but not enough on its own.

I played that game from 2011 to almost 2015. No. You're wrong. Just accept it.
