Inventory full, Loot abandoned

[Briegg]

...anyone remember the days of old mmorpg's where when you died you lost all of your equipment?

so rare to find game's like that nowadays.

and even though it was a mechanic built into the game people still complained.

you know what we told them to do?
play something else.

waaaaah holy crap
no matter what it seems people always find something to complain about
and the answer is "well it just seems stupid not to have it this way"

When you find the perfect game where the developers have infinite time and money to implement every single player's ideas
and still keep the game from being filled with bugs and turning to crap you let me know.

white knight?
nah just tired of people who complain about a game and yet continue to play it.

Pretty much every game on the market allows players to deal with a full inventory (either with a temporary extra slots system, or by leaving the item lootable until you free up some space in your inventory). Saying that it didn't exist in 1999 doesn't justify not implementing a basic, common, standard feature that everyone's come to expect in a 2013's game. And it was implemented in FF XI and FF XIV 1.0 in case you're wondering.

Blah blag white knight...

Do I need to remind you again that this is 2013? The world has changed, dude... take a look outside the window, tell me which modern MMO on the market has a worse item management than ARR?

We're not complaining to satisfy ourselves, nor bashing SE, we're complaining to make the game better for everyone else. You're the one who's just QQing here.

I can only agree when it comes to inventory management and space. Even old games like EQ2 had item overflow.

Sure, I could accept this back in the days of Everquest and Dark age of Camelot. However, times have changed, and mostly for the better.

Pretty much every other mmo out there today has improved the way inventory and UI works. Many of these are F2P. Why shouldn't I expect a premium game like FFXIV to be at least as good as the free competitors?
Limitations are fine if they are explicitly designed for a specific purpose. Statements akin to "We don't think it's needed" don't cut it.

Really guys? Storage space is not a problem in this game -- just pay attention!

Really guys? Storage space is not a problem in this game -- just pay attention!

It's not about storage space but about item management which is tedious, clunky and a real time sink; there are god knows how many unnecessary steps and confirmation prompts, and it's impossible to display all tabs simultaneously. General response time between all these steps is just painful. Just to name a few limitations unworthy of a 2010's RPG. Storage space is very good indeed, but how you deal with it makes it so much more complicated than any other MMORPG I've played in a decade.

Inventory is fine for me. Apparently some people have an issue with this but I think that some people just look at items wrong.. Here, let me give out how I see things:

We are fortunate enough that Eorzea will NEVER run out of items and has an unlimited surplus of goodies waiting to be obtained. Sure, some may be hard to get at times but the game never ever runs out. It is like the greatest storage space ever created..

So, try to think of Eorzea as your infinite storage bag, when you need something then go out and get it. When you have used up what you got then go get some more. The world really isn't going to run out of items anytime soon.

.. and as a person with a 45whm/all other classes 15+.. and has all doh/dol 25-30.. I have zero items stored in my retainers and only using up 40ish slots in my inventory. But I have millions of items stored out in the world..

You don't seem to understand what "QQ" means, although far be it from me to try and educate you on internet lingo seeing as the most reliable source of definitions we have is urban dictionary.

I just find it hilarious that you say "this is 2013" like that's supposed to mean something, what are we, in some magical future land where all of you petty desires are solved by advanced technology?
Grow up kid
There's a time and a place to demand better of someone or something, but the fact that an item you wanted disappeared because you forgot to clear out your inventory, isn't one of them.

and if you want more proof just look at this thread, the majority of responses are people who don't have a problem with it.
and I'm sorry but "They're just being white knights" isn't a viable response.
Yes the majority may not always be right, but that doesn't mean they are always wrong either.
Ofcourse what do I know? probably not much more than you. But hey at least I'm enjoying the game.

The market is my infinite retainer. All the cheap stuff I sell them, and then buy them back when I need them for crafting.

[Angelsdawn]

This is nuts. We're talking about an easily implemented feature which could save a lot of trouble for a ton of people.

I'm crafting with a bunch of materials while waiting for a dungeon pop, my inventory is nearly full. I get the pop, switch and do my dungeon. Oh no I get punished for trying to spend my time wisely?

If you people weren't so busy trying to appear so high and mighty and above everyone because you can keep your eye on your inventory count you'd see how basic a feature this is. Nobody cares that you can count inventory boxes, think of the convenience. I'm pretty sure society is heading towards that conclusion in general and you're all insisting that we stay stuck in progress.

Take WoW or Tera or even PoE -- All games which either mail it to you or let it sit on the ground til you pick it up.
