Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Asiaine]

Yes there is a spiritual unexplainable force that is bringing this change, it is a great mystery that we will travel far to achieve discovery to only find the true nature of this cause.

*starts saving anima*

[Nabiri]

or..... is there some other driving force that may necessitate it???

Like what, for example? I can't think of a thing besides it just being a silly idea to charge per character in the first place when most MMOs out there don't do that. It drives away customers.
I don't mean anything rude by this at all, but your post sounds highly paranoid.
What seems shady about this to you? What are you afraid of?

The problem is they should never have implemented multiple classes with 1 character.
Should have been 1 main class and 1 secondary class for the job.
That way multiple characters would have it's use.
Since everyone can learn all classes and jobs.. theres no need to have more as 1 character.

Didn't yoshi say in a post that he wants players to experiment with new characters and make joke characters etc.

It's in the Japanese > English thread.

Personally I see no use in extra character slots and certainly not 40/8, but what Yoshi says goes, who am I to argue :P

Oh look, another Rokien thread complaining about this game being progressive in any way.

nothing is stopping you from having multiple chars. now. Nothing is wrong with multiple chars. Whats wrong is what can be done with them. It's one thing if you have to pay for em or don't have to pay for em.
HECK I even had 2 chars that I played in FFXI, so I'm not against that. The thing I'm against is what's gong to happen with inventory, retainers, everything else that can be exploited with having multiple chars.

What exactly is an inventory exploit anyway? I have upwards of 300 slots free on my retainers. My personal inventory is always full, obviously, but everyone who has full retainers is either a hoarder who needs to seek help, or is probably saving mats to craft later. Either way, their retainers shouldn't be as full as that. So I don't think the so-called exploits would ever be much of an issue. It's such a chore to leave stuff even in retainers, I cannot imagine the annoyance of somehow getting it all into your alt and then getting it back out. The inconvenience of it alone would stem "abuse".

Regarding retainers and economy, S.E. would probably restrict retainers across all characters. I can certainly see them doing that.

And with limited retainers/inventory slots, this would stem players from creating too many alts. Not to mention time!

At this point, I think you should start taking requests for your next thread topics. Left to your own devices, they're not turning out so well.

Can you give me an example of these exploits?

I did, also reinheart said jps even agree.

You haven't posted anything beyond "there could be inventory exploits" in this thread. Can you give me specific examples of what inventory exploits are?
