Armoy Slot / Outfit Slots (not just another account wide request)

If you think about this from both perspectives, players want a meaningful purchase and ZOS wants to either make money or at the very least a crown sink. I can appreciate that.
Players generally want Outfit / Armory slots to be account wide, my biggest gripe with per character is deleting the character will also delete all the money I spent on those slots
ZOS does not seem to want to provide an alternative to the much superior addons that change gear, that is free.
There is a middle ground, making Armory / Outfit slots Class wide instead. So the purchase is not made to a particular character but across all characters of the same class.
Instead of 20 characters, with 8 purchasable armory slots and outfit slots per character that is 160 armory slots, 160 outfit slots, 320 purchasable items per account, 480,000 crowns. That could easily be deleted.
Alternatively
7 classes, 8 purchasable armory slots, 8 purchasable outfit slots, 112 total, 168,000 crowns that is NOT bound to a single character, cannot be deleted can be used on alts.
Sounds like a lot of crowns, but only if you really would want and intend on using all those slots, I for one wouldn't (couldn't see myself using more than 5 builds) but it makes me hesitant to buy any slots as they are not safe or secure to my account.
Clearly the consumer in me advocates to account wide and would very clearly be happy with that, if account wide I'd probably just buy them all. If I looked at this from ZOS perspective and a desire for a crown sink, then Class wide is reasonable enough for people to simply buy what they need and at least enjoy the comfort in knowing it is not going anywhere.
Imagine buying a character slot, that when you delete the character, the slot goes with it. Ridiculous.
Also the Armorer NPC should come with an armory slot, and buying 4 slots should net you an Armorer NPC for free. That would at least make it remotely competitive with addons. Ideally builds on their own wheel to, no need to spawn armorer.
