Thread: More Retainer and Character Inventory space in 5.0?

They need to just make the glamour system better. Similiar to GW2 and WoW. You collect a piece of gear, its added to a tab which means you permanently have the appearance.

Having my retainers and chocobo saddlebag full of glamour gear just doesn't feel good.

They need to seriously fix this in 5.0

They need to go all in with the glam dresser.

And more plates too, one for each job (including crafters/gatherers)

While we most definitely need more spaces and options.. I don't think they're willing or have the option to entirely rewrite the gear and glamour systems for this expansion. There's apparently still a lot of weird checks and data back and forth between character and playing servers that makes expansion and "log" style glamours difficult.

Yeah Yeah, but every time I bring it up somebody has some psuedo-technical reason they think it can't be done.

WHile I'm gonna say yes another free retainer would be most welcome.. I gotta say my fishing retainer is probably the most useless. I use hunting more than fishing.

People are usually referring to the way the old system doesn't translate well or easily to an entirely different games system.. Go take a look at old developer posts about why the inventory was changed to the new way it displays and why you can't change glamours outside cities for more actual technical information. The system has a lot of problems because it still holds a lot of structure from the old , very badly thought out, inventory system and reworking it involves ripping out and writing in an entirely new system and reference for items and appearances. If you want a TLDR: Far too much cost and labor for the company to even consider.
