Retainer inventory

[RayddenPrime]

Having to go back and forth to a summoning bell just to do inventory with retainers is very annoying...they should just add a system to where we can just manage inventory without going to summoner bells. And only make it required for putting things for sale in the MB. And also add a search bar for inventory because scrolling through trying to find one item in all my mess is very time consuming. At least the “sort” button helps a bit.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. It's designed the way it is for a reason, not just to be annoying.

No, they should not.
If you thinks they should, mobile MMO is probalby better for you

I'd be happy if they'd just combine the bell and the market board. It would be nice to switch from my items being sold at the bell directly how such an item is being sold in the market.

Well how come? Where would be the disadvantage in being able to summon ur retainer on the spot or maybe have something where you can get ur item delivered to u a bad idea? And having a search bar on there too..how is that a bad idea...
Please elaborate

/isearch "item name" is ur friend

Retainers are fine has they are. What you ask is to have some kind of inventory bank as it is in many MMO and that's so boring. And not really more comfortable since MB is independant from the inventory bank. Somehow, FF system is more comfortable.

It is bad idea.
S/E should not recreate the same dumb mistake made by Blizzard with their mobile guild bank and laughable Garrison
Retainer Bell / AH is what keeps the game looks alive.
If everyone is comfortable with a mobile Retainer bell the cities will be ghost town.
Blizzard did a lot of thing for the sake of player convenience but many of these are directly and indirectly causing MMORPG dying as a genre

The inventory system in this game is one of the worst I've had to deal with in my time playing MMOs. I've played games where the amount of space you get is laughable, but even constantly having to clear out my bags was less irritating than clicking through 15 menus and searching through four different bags every time I want to grab something that isn't in my own bag. It's awful.

Would love an actual search bar in the bags... /Isearch only gets you so far when your eyesight is as godawful as mine. I have to squint and mouse over the icons to find crap half the time, even knowing which tab it's in. If there's a way to make the bag bigger I'd love to hear it but a search bar would definitely make my life easier.

Idk about mobile retainer access, not that I'd mind it really, but I'd definitely like to see some general improvements to how clunky and inefficient the retainer system is. At least give me an option to skip all of their dialogue and either make yes the default answer for exiting the menus, or get rid of that prompt entirely. :/

We often read that but the genre is not dying. WoW, FFXIV, TESO, BDO, are working rather fine (We can still consider Rift, Neverwinter, Aion, Blade and Soul and a few others Marvel, SWTOR...).

The real problem is there are too many MMORPG released or to be released (more than 100) and all the WoW killers or the "old way" MMOs are big fails, because they are all medieval, all ArcheAge-like and poorly implemented with ridiculous graphics (especially to compare to BDO). MMOFPS, BattleRoyal or Hack'n'Slash have the same problem. They all want to be the CoD killer, the LoL killer, the Fornite killer etc.

Wildstar wanted to be more hardcore, more "the old way" but they failed because the translation in other languages came too late, building a community was not very easy and both the UI and the inventory stuff/system were lacking of clarity.
