with any DLC ZOS nowadays adding ~4-7 new crafting motifs
each motif need a style material to craft, sometimes a raw version too

but with TG DLC they added 7 motifs
with DB - 6, based on datamine there - http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/247294/dark-brotherhood-datamine-styles-crafting-tier-anniversary-items-and-more/p1
you can jsut imagine how many motifs will be in a year for example...

and how many slots you can save you you will buy stones in CROWN STORE

    So, saving 38 inventory slots will make me win? Interesting :)

    Btw, i only keep a stack of starmetal in inventory, for crafting writs. Why permanently block so many slots with materials i can easily acquire ad-hoc should i sometime decide to craft something ugly? :)

    Or you can just not hoard a bunch of useless items that have no influence on the power of your crafted equipment and save all these slots.

    You can live with just you own racial style, and then you will only need your own racial style's stone. Anything else is cosmetic only.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    That is SUCH a stretch. I have max bank space and max bag space on two characters...I barely have either character at half way and my bank is only holding like 90 crafting items.

    Plus, I believe ibread that crafting bags are coming which would allow infinite space for crafting materials. This allow destroies your pay to win "proof".

    Lol, there will be crafting bags so your point is moot. But of course, you will claim crafting bags are pay to win. In the end, you will out grow the short bus, you will have to put away the football helmet and chin sponge, and you will enter the real world. Hopefully, then you will not be compelled to post such non-sense.

    I'm sorry Japa but lol man inventory space is not that big of a deal unless you are a crafter and in no way it gives you advantage in terms of power over someone because you have 39 more open slots than the guy besides you XD

    Crafting styles is no way a P2W plus ZOS even said that ESO plus members will be getting special crafters bags with active memebership that will put all crafting materials into one special bag to take up less room in both their bags and bank when U10 comes around.

    What will free bag space be P2W now too?
