Lockboxes prove there is an inventory management problem with this game

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.

You are twisting what was said. I stated it is not an exaggeration on the FACT it took me 2 hours to move items across retainers for my SO (since people want to derail this and reference another thread they derailed)

It is also a fact it took this person 9 hours of the topic I linked here. None of what I say is an exaggeration, those are facts. No where was I linking that to what I feel is worthless or not, how did you get that message?

my main point is I do not state exaggerations with this issue, I just like it to be addressed.

I never really had an issue with inventory bloat caused by Eureka, as I don't hoard lockboxes (after every Eureka run, I hand them in. Usually only spending 10-20 minutes doing this, with plenty of inventory space to spare). Just because one person let themselves collect 10k+ lockboxes doesn't mean majority of the playerbase also does this (though to those who do: why? what's preventing you from handing them in in-between runs, or straight up tossing them?).

9 completely avoidable hours.

Your questions was answered in the link:

While it's true it might be less of a mental strain to open them after each session, fact is that it'll still require the same amount of time in the end (likely longer since u can be more effective while opening lots at once). I simply wanted to complete the farm as fast as possible and that's partly why I waited with opening so many of them for so long ^

Uhm... I've mostly been doing Eureka since it came out to be honest. A few raids on the side and some errands IRL etc... It's hard to estimate how fast I gained crystals because it differed by which NM (or FATEs) had been killed already when I entered etc.

The total amount of Anemos crystals required, assuming the average gain is 3.5 proteans per anemos is, however 29679 and if I were to guess, I'd say I got maybe 250-350 crystals in 3h at an average.

So yeah it was avoidable if they simply tossed each 999 stack at a time and never bothered with them, but some stated doing that is tossing a lot of gil?

It dm what you think the Marjory has to deal with. I do not even deal with them at all because of this issue. I tried like 10 and said ,nope not doing this 1800 more times. THAT was from simply GETTING level 20.
