What are we going to do with housing space for crafting stations?

Dragonnord

With next patch we'll have 74 crafting sets x 4 stations per set, that's 296 slots.

It's already way too much if you want to decently or properly decorate the rest of the place, mostly for guild houses that also need space for more guilds services.

At this point, we definitely need a Master or Crafting station that can contain all sets at once, or several sets at once, or that at least group the 4 stations of a specific set in one crafting station.

Many are running out of space or run out already and need to constantly remove furniture and decorations to fit the stations.

I mean...since guild houses are "unofficial" anyway with 0 perks. You can have one house with all the crafting sets. Those large houses hold up to like 800 items...then have another house as a gathering guild hall...not really sure what the issue is.

Perhaps ZOS does not think about it, because the heads of guilds express concern, this is a small number of players. It seems to me that the developer does not understand the logical connection, which is that the problem affects almost all artisan players.

Well, until now the issue is that there was no way to direct people to a second house. The new update changes that, allowing people to link non primary houses and put those links in the guild description, so yes that could be a solution going forward.

The sea of stations is still annoying from a usability perspective.

Consolidate. Consolidate. Consolidate.

What they need to do is make it so you can craft every set from a single crafting table (or more accurately, from a single set of crafting tables). People will still want multiple sets of tables in a guild hall to prevent over-crowding, but it only makes sense to consolidate all of the crafted sets to a single set of tables that you attune to the world somehow. I think they're just holding out on doing this change because they're making a lot of money from people building guildhalls buying crowns to use on atuneable tables.
