Merging characters as a service

Unrelated to the first suggestion...how about a crafting bag? With one character being able to do it all, the inventory is significantly small to carry all kinds of gear on top of crafting materials.

Fishers are screaming for a seperate bag for their bait, but it's always been said that it won't come, so I supposes crafters won't get something like that either.

I don't know why we couldn't have one. Lots of other MMOs have done a mats bag, and with the set up they have in XIV a craft bag would only make more sense. I think it would be fine if the craft bag was accessible from your inn room/apartment/private quarters, as long as you could craft from it while in the room, makign it more of a craft repository than a craft bag... You'd still have to carry the materials back there to drop them off, but there should be an overall lightening of the load (so to speak) even with that system. Also could have the added effect of clearing up some of the clustering of players around summoning bells in the market areas.
Crafting has always been a bit of a sticking point for me and a few people I know...typically boring, if not boring then time consuming at least, and it usually proves to be difficult to keep it up with your combat class levels to keep them relevant. Particularly if you need stuff from killing mobs like Leatherworking does in XIV. Unfortunately I haven't any ideas on how they could fix that...aside from maybe adding in a greater level of automation. Being able to tell your retainers what mats to go after would help a little maybe...

They increased stack sizes and added the chocobo saddles I think these were good changes to help with the storage issue. There are only about 8 fish in each area, 16 with hq and they use 1-3 baits so bag space is not an issue for fishers as they would have to teleport anyways, might as well pop off to your summoning bell.

Collectables though... really should stack or go in quest storage...
