"Why not get another retainer...?" why not just use the Armoire? This line made it sound like they're just about the same anyway... personally, I like separating my gear into stuff I want to sell/get rid of, stuff I use, and stuff I want to keep for no real reason...ha ha.

Sounds awesome to me. Overall it IS more and free storage space whether its limited to certain items or not.

YES!

are you guys seriously wearing this gear around and using it and getting it worn out? all mine is still sitting at 100% and ill be able to toss it right in

and if you ARE using it, why are you wanting to store it?
^This. Really, most things you'll want to store most likely are lvl 1 and can easily be repaired by yourself.

If you actually wore it out, that's only 500gil+1 piece of DM you're crying over.

...you're kidding... most people won't get to use it? Cause... most players wear out all their special gear and items and for some reason it would be impossible for them to get it repaired?

Also to the "pandering to the crafters" case...

I dunno if you noticed, but crafts aren't exactly the most exciting jobs to level up. If someone actually took their time and leveled up those jobs while most of us were out running down bosses and monsters to level the 'fun' classes, I think they deserve to make some gil for their work. Crafting isn't super fun and its either a lot of work to get materials or really expensive. So asking them to take 500g+1DM to make your item 100% again is almost underpaying them really.
