Lockboxes prove there is an inventory management problem with this game

[Vstarstruck]

I never stated anything about an exaggeration.
My point is that it's a fact that despite having played FFXIV since 2.0 with relatively few breaks and having leveled all craft/gather jobs to level 40+

You do realize that is not a big deal yes? It is obvious you will not have inventory problems when you do not craft and gather a lot? It does not take much to be 40+, for both inventory space for the materials to get there, and the time it takes. You an get 1-50 in a few hours spending leves, it is not a big deal.

This is still off the point though, it does not matter if you did not say anything about exaggeration, keep in mind what you did say:

Your viewpoints on the matter are not fact, it is only a fact that they are your viewpoint.

Maybe the gil is worthless to you, but the same doesn’t objectively hold true for everyone else.

I was only stating what I was claiming what was fact. I was not trying to suggest gil is worthless for everyone, that was not the "facts" I was talking about. I was simply stating everything I said is not an exaggeration, thus fact.

You're merging posts now. In response to your OP, and defending my reply:

(1) Claiming FFXIV's inventory situation gets worse by the update is ridiculous, and a clear, objective exaggeration.

No it is not, it has been happening since HW. What I said is a fact and not an exaggeration. What is ridiculous is you refusing to admit that.

In HW they did not increase the armory in accordance to how many jobs they added.
They keep adding glams and gear without adding enough space to cover for it
they keep adding and bloating us with currency without adding space for it
Sorry I was stating fact here, not exaggeration.

Ever since HW it has been 1 step forward and 2 steps back (999 stack, glam dresser, etc) They keep making the situation worse while making it appear they are "trying"

(4) If you're keeping anywhere near 120 currencies, you're doing it wrong. The vast, vast majority of currencies are deprecated at this point in time. There is nowhere near 120 currently-relevant currencies in FFXIV. My SO has this problem as well, but unlike you, she isn't inclined to blame SE - she knows the problem is her, and her lack of knowledge in regards to what is or isn't relevant anymore. I certainly think SE could help make it more obvious, but that's a separate discussion.

So I guess you do not know runescape? Yes it is SE's fault. Trying to put so much burden on the player for major shortcomings in your words is "ridiculous" I am sure there is even more then 120 currency related items in this game. I wonder how many there are though.. too many to count that is for sure.

I shouldn't of spent 2 hours moving currencies to 1 retainer, that is SE's bad design fault, because they never plan ahead in designs and keep overlooking inventory issues, and seeing this lockbox situation is further proof on such a statement. If the game was designed better, people wouldn't be having these problems. I think it is a ridiculous idea you expect people to put up with glaring problems and not talk about it.

Is it worth the effort to spare this niche group of users a little bit of pain? Arguably not.

So are you implying SE shouldn't be making savage and super savage content because it appeals to an even smaller group of niche users?

I'd really urge a look in the mirror at this point. You've now made two threads wherein the responses have indicated quite clearly that your complaints are very much YOUR complaints, rather than issues facing a majority of players. Everyone's got an opinion and all that, and you're entitled to yours, but I really wonder what you're hoping to achieve with your combative posts at this stage.

To fix the game? stop ignoring 2-4 + year problems? the stop giving SE a pass for x,y, z problems on the base of refusal to fix the core coding of this game? basically, i think it is time the "1.0 limitations" are put to an ends. You do realize, I see your posts as combative? I am not combative, I am simply replying to people who start the combative, if you want to go there. (so I guess the take a look in the mirror thing can apply to you as well?)
