My post doesn't take away from old timers who did things the hard way in the past. It concerns Square/Enix's attempt at improving the game for all users "now". I only want to bring to light that they could have and can do better with their current efforts at improving the game for all to enjoy. If you can't see that, well then you have my sympathies. Regardless, have fun playing the game.

Sinon: Hello, sir. Have you ever found yourself throwing away items because your mog safe is overflowing with dusty sets of armor collected on your many adventures? My colleagues and I have heard the cries of our fellow adventurers and joined together to aid all those in need.
Sinon: Trade me a full set (either four or five pieces, depending on type) of your armor, and for a small fee (payable on pickup) we will hold on to it, all the while protecting it from thieves, moths and any/all acts of god and/or goddess.
Sinon: Please be forewarned that we cannot store any high-quality equipment, and that the signatures of any pieces of collected armor will be lost.
Sinon: How may I be of service today?

Hmmm... overall a good effort to help out the player's storage problems. However, there are some shortcomings.
First, the user interface could be much better.
Example: Instead of "Seer's Tunic" is should read "Seer's Attire". Why? Because it is not just the Tunic. The set of five consists of : Seer's Crown, Seer's Tunic, Seer's Mitts, Seer's Slacks, Seer's Pumps.
Second, OMG! What about lv10-23 armor sets?
Third, OMG again! Did Square/Enix forget that people have armor sets after lv60?
Fourth, I almost forgot... what about the lv1 and lv15 speciality gear? Square/Enix forgot about these too!
[li]lv1 - Chocobo, Field, Fishing, Vagabond
Fifth, what about another group of NPCs to give us the option for weapons storage (Artifact, Rare/Ex, Rare, Ex)?
Just some of my thoughts. ^^
