True...and if I got 36 slots for all my accounts....I'd probably use them. Oh and then again on EU

I think if people realised that it’s better to master a single or a couple of characters instead of mindlessly creating loads of characters they would enjoy the game more.

this one has 18 characters that are all cp 1150+. 6 stam dps, 6 mag dps, 4 tanks and 2 healers; 1 argonian, 17 khajiit. all are 7 prof master crafters, all are maxed in their class skills, all have finished with main quest, all regularly run normal dungeons and trials, all but one has run vet dungeon and trial content successfully (poor lizard).
Most importantly, each and every one is logged in every day, and each is doing crafting dailies -every day-.
Some asked for legitimate reason why, to which this one says wanting more slots is, in itself, a legitimate reason to at least ask for them, but ok, this one will play along anyway.
This one would very much welcome a few more slots to expand tank roster to cover every class - tanking with sorc is -very- different from tanking with, say, nightblade, for example. While this one is craptastic healer, still he would also enjoy expanding healer roster to every class, for same reason.
"But, silly Karth", you say with a condescending smile, "Just respec your existing characters to follow these other roles."
To these inevitable comments, this one would reply (with gratuitous eye rolling), "It is integral part of this one's gaming experience to develop an actual identity for each of his characters. Their identity revolves around what they do - it is, after all, what we do that defines us, not who we are, yes? Since, unlike other elder scrolls games, this game was built with the concept of classes, which ultimately serve to limit one's capabilities, and since this game's cooperative content usually relies on the restrictive role specialization of "tank, dps, healer" triumvirate, this one would like enough slots to develop distinct identities for each character performing each role with each class. This one is willing to pay for the privilege."
Everytime you say "this one..".
I cringe like hell. But I suggest why stop at 20. Why not ask for 40 or more slots. Make one based on every skin tone and hair style available in game. Thing big.

This one is aware of quite a few threads, with plenty of detailed explanations, that explain why 36 is the minimum threshold for acceptable character slots, because this allows a player to have every class with a variant for each of dps, healz, tonk and pvp, in both mag and stam.
What makes so many peoples want to argue against others having more character slots to enjoy, after all its only similar to what is available in other MMOs with 50 or 100 character slots!?
Why do some care so much about other people not being able to enjoy the game the way they like... what is driving that kind of wish to negatively impact other peoples enjoyment?
This one thinks humans can be strange.
This game has been going for years at this point and character slots are getting tight. Can we please get a big slot increase? Even an additional 2 would go a long ways. It doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon either.

buy an additional account. it's actually less expensive than buying all those character slots... also you have the added benefit of your main account providing awesome logistical support for your new account..

It isn't so much that people are arguing against it. We are all playing the same game. We are all impacted by changes. If ZOS focuses on one thing, that means resources not working on another. It makes sense for people to state "this is not important to me" for things they don't feel are needed. If upping characters were to lead to a 2% decrease in performance in some operation, players would be wise to indicate that they don't think the feature would be worth the cost.
Personally, I like more slots. But if I knew the actually performance costs, I might change my opinion.

The data is held on ZOS servers centrally, and loading in a players character should take the same amount of processing/memory/transfer etc as it does now. So it seems the main issue is ZOS storage of said data, but it seems to me that is about as simple an IT issue as you can get to resolve..
