To add to my earlier statement, I would actually prefer if they added a tackle box for all the bait. THOSE take up tons of space compared to the currencies.

For currencies they have no plans of removing? Sure all for it.
Alliance raid tokens don't take up that much room and get removed now so those don't have to be in the tab, but raid books and tokens would certainly be nice to have.
I mean it's not about being bad with inventory management as much as it is forcing players to decide whether to throw away items, or juggle them around in their inventory OR place them with their retainers. I have some totems from a Shinryu doggo farm a month ago that I just shoved with my retainers because I don't want to throw them away in case that farm continues to go badly, but because it's with my retainer I have to be on my home world to access them.
Not a big deal for totems, but then you think about things like crafting mats. I have a lot of crafting mats stored with my retainers as well, because while they won't sell enough to make it worth for me, they would also end up being a bit spendy if I were to rebuy them.
This game encourages you to hoard in so many ways.
Are you using them? or just keeping them in case? If you don't use the mats there is no reason to keep them at all. If I want to craft, I can just send my retainers to get almost every mat I need, for the rest, gathering with a high level character is fast.
I've harped on this issue over and over again.It seems plausible for the 24 Man Raid coins at the least. They release 3 24 mans per expansion which is the same as the Beast Tribes added so a secondary tab for those coins seems like a no brainer.
Raids would be a bit tricker since there's 12 per expansion and unless they do something similar to Tombstones were there's a universal token akin to Poetics for outdated raids, it would be much harder to make it work and even then, that causes the problem of just grinding the 1st Raid of a Current Tier to buy the gear from the higher tiers without ever needing to actually do those fights unless they keep the token for each fight different, which isn't any different to what is currently the case other than clearing up space.
Changing all the old raid currencies to a single token would be a good start.
Eden Token of X
Omega Token of Y
The raids have already kind of did it with the coins. Just drop 8 coins in a raid and let people buy what they want.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
Don't hoard things of previous expansions. They become a lot easier to farm as expansions future go on.

GW2 also allows you to turn other players into generic looking NPCs. I'm not saying this should be implemented first since I would much prefer storage space over hiding glamours but if they are taking ideas from other games, I wouldn't be upset if the XIV devs copy that idea, lol.
This.
It really is that simple. The only currencies that belong in a 'currency inventory' are those that are constantly in effect from expansion to expansion, and those with a cap. Gemstones, Seals, Tomes, Scrips, Gil, MGP, Faux Tales, are all examples of this. Crap like totems, potshards, moogle tomes, or alliance raid coins absolutely do not need to be in the currency tab. Spend them. If you are short for a purchase, then get your butt in the content to earn what is necessary to clear it out your inventory.
KEYThis idea was discussed in another thread, but I decided to create a new thread where it'd be more organized here.
The game has a lot of 24Man Raid Coins, Extreme Primal Farm Totems, Ultimate Totems, Normal Mode items, Savage Books, maybe relic items, Eureka Items, Bozja Items, and other various NPC loot exchange currencies. A lot of these feel like they could free up much needed player inventory space by being placed within a separate currency tab of its own. I'm sure it's expected that players should be throwing this stuff away over time, but I still think a currency tab like this would be an incredible QoL improvement regardless.
What does everyone think?
ITEM
SLOT.
We have... like 90+ slots of unused space there that could easily hold all these items.
I'm using them yes. A lot of them are EW mats. Usually pull them out every week to two weeks to make stuff like leve turn-ins and whatever else I need.
