Lockboxes prove there is an inventory management problem with this game

I personally don't think the inventory space gets THAT bad on every patch like you say, to the point of making a huge deal about it. It's obviously an issue, but let's not exaggerate. They are obviously struggling to keep it up, because of their server limitations™, but I would like to believe that they could afford an extra retainer at the very least. They are also working with their legacy code as far as I remember, trying to patch whatever they can. They actually moved a lot of currency to the currency tab. They made it so you could stack 999 of a single item. They created this Chocobo saddlebag to store additional items. They created the glamour wardrobe as well, which is still on its early stages, with a lot of room for improvement. They KNOW this is an issue and they are working on it.

As for the lockboxes themselves, the question is: Was this massive lockbox acquisition, consequence of the NM train, really intended from a dev. standpoint? They had to tweak the crystal convertion rate options for a reason. They probably didn't expect this to happen.

I suspect they assumed people would spawn their own NMs while grinding mobs, similar to how they thought Hunts would be treated. It's incredibly naive on their part, especially given they know how we treat Hunts. Alas, they tend not to focus on how the playerbase plays.

Ya but, keep in mind how many some went though to get a mount, 1000+ without a mount? so this conflicts with the idea they did not expect people to gather mass amounts.

I got about 1700 getting to level 20.. i mean.. its too much
