Inventory space in this game is UNNACEPTABLE for a subscription based game.

[Kuroka]

The problem is that that takes a huge amount of time and effort. Back when I was trying to get by with just the two free retainers we're allowed without raising our subscription costs, inventory management reached the point where it ate up more than half of my game time. It turns FFXIV into a pretty dull game when it consists mostly of shuffling items around while looking up availability on each one.

Paying for a couple extra retainers cut down the frequency of that requirement, allowing me to spend more time actually playing the game, though of course I still have to periodically stop to sort out the accumulated inventory mess. While without that extra space, it would, strictly speaking, have been possible to play the game, it wouldn't have been a fun enough game to be worth playing. Being able to focus on the game itself, rather than just inventory management, shouldn't incur extra fees in a pay to play game. It should be the normal default state.

^This. And im annoyed they dont care at all and just give us like 50 new mats just for leveling and continue with the alc mat for every role... >_>

Two of them.. I suspect three grades of alkahests by the end of the expansion. Oh and you make them in 3s of course, so there's usually some left over.

because treasure maps drop those, I sold/discarded all materials needed for grade I and always sell any extra grade IIs.
