More storage space is long overdue

[Payadopa]

We seriously need more. No way around it. Sure, some people will fill it up but it's just too much stuff. The intervals I have to go to my GC etc get shorter and shorter. Bozja alone has gold coins, silver coins and four different memory tokens or whatever they are called. Then there is savage coins, twines, a 2nd weapon for handing in your main relic weapon. It's just clunky. Sure, there is a way around it which usually equates to spending time organising but it could be way better. I don't think people are talking about hoarding Alex tokens here.

Also the glamour dresser is filled even faster when you keep at least, head-chest-arms-legs-shoes of some sets. Also it would help if you could ignore jobs when glamouring accessory, at least for stuff like lakshmi or raids where usually all jobs got the same design anyways.

Yeah, this does NOT help the situation. If there's an earring design I like, and I may want to use it in glams for several different jobs, I have to keep at best Fending, Slaying, Aiming, Casting, Healing to have complete freedom to use it. In some cases folks might need to keep Maiming, Striking, and Scouting variants instead of just 'Slaying'. Even when all those earring variants are identical.

The Ronkan accessories are offenders here for me, personally. The necklace in particular is striking and surprisingly versatile for use in glams! But despite it looking identical for every job, I must keep each individual variant if I want to be able to use it for glam for all jobs. Which means I need to use up five glamour dresser slots for that necklace (as it at least has a Slaying variant for all melee jobs), instead of one. I like the ring as well, so hey, that's another five dresser spaces down...

Yeah, and I actually like that. It allows the demand for those items to stay relatively constant, so new players have things to sell to make money with. I started playing just before ShB came out, so I was levelling my character while everyone else was hitting level 80, and I remember making a lot of money mining up spring water from S. Shroud and selling it to high level players who were working on their weaving.

I really commend this game for how well old content survives and stays relevant.

Mhmm I’ve just started completing the weaver log and I’m stunned at how those same things I was gathering in 2018 like fleece and flax are basically exactly the same worth as they used to be. Very surprising and good for low levels to make Gil

Good points . I do understand the glamour can be a struggle for many... honestly I don’t tend to worry about glamours for jobs I don’t really use, or I have the one glamour for them. So personally I have space to keep an extra relic or item that I might have use for at some point. But I understand it is quite a limiting amount even with one glamour for each job.

I would love a tackle box. Essentially my saddlebag is the tackle box.. but I’m starting to wonder why bait is even an item like it is.. just make it so you can select it from the hotbar would be nice. Might be worth them revising it and seeing if we actually do need all these different ones too.

I know about the extra retainers and I wouldn’t mind paying for them but it’s only now and again I’d need them. I guess when people pay real money for them they are unlikely to raise it in game.

Old primal tokens should be used for pity buy mounts or buying glam, turn-ins, or desynth. They really aren't meant to be hoarded forever, plus they lose value over time. Old raid tokens, savage books, etc as well. You aren't running things like Ivalice or Nier raids or Twintania Extreme everyday for two years. There isn't an unlimited currency capacity either, so why waste it on things that are just used for little bits of time. No reason to allocate always-follow server resources to this.

Beast tribes is always 3x per expansion so they allocated to handle this. It's usually ran daily because of it's leveling system. Generally they also build up what you can buy throughout the expansion.

They could also just do it for the current expansion and then have a 'turn in for clusters' option in 5.58-6.01 like they do every time they rotate tomestones.
That's 7 slots free'd up, and you no longer keep old expansions totems at all because they're useless, instead the drop rate for the mount is increased and unsyncing means you can spa it enough to get either weapons or the mount very quickly.

Along with old primal totems they could also stand to cut old alliance raid coins. Every time I get a Mhachi Farthing (or whatever) I just pitch it.

They could streamline things even more by getting rid of one ring slot, and doubling the stats on rings. They could also get rid of the soul stone slots by removing classes and coming up with new lore expanding on how the jobs are now commonplace, rewording quests as needed. And, I still would prefer they do something like remove half the character slots per account, and in exchange give +1 free retainer per expansion. Maybe make it an opt-in thing, but there's certainly room to reduce their disk space budget.

Better yet, remove every old raid token as each new expansion rolls in and replace them with a universal one just like they do with tomestones.

-Extra bag slots exist in FF14, so it's not a server strain issue. They're just stuck behind a paywall.

Please do proper research before blindly accusing players of bad management.

That's the funniest thing to me. Defend it how much you like. But how can you say [server limitations] one moment but allow [every] player to buy up to X(not sure how many) and that somehow doesn't cause an issue?

I don't care what dev wizardry is at work behind the scenes. Not do I need to. I'm just a player. All I see, though, is that it somehow works for players who pay more. That's all I need to know.
