That's what we've come to expect from killionaire. Pre-emptive Raeging. Anyway, The belt pouch idea still sucks. I proposed a while back that a 'toolbelt' be added wherein various appropriate things could be placed such as axes, scabbards/swords, seedbags, keys/keyrings (assuming we still have to deal with them), and several other appropriate things I can't think of offhand.
If you want increased inventory space, making QL matter is a simple and logical way to effect that without it becoming excessive. Granted, some may feel that a Ql 125 backpack and Q90+ merch robe making a 7x11 inventory is a bit excessive it would be much more reasonable if the increase in available inventory were a bit more incremental and that, of course, could only be achieved with a weight based inventory.
