    I think it would be better for everyone if ZOS addressed the underlying issues that make players feel like they have to hold onto so much stuff just in case it's useful one day.

    There is nothing ZoS can do about that. They can't change a player's tendencies to hold on to everything. Just providing items players can get doesn't trigger that response of having to have all of it in everyone. It's not a game issue.

    There is. They could:
    • Narrow the difference between the buying and selling prices of provisioning ingredients, so that it's that easier to buy them if or when we need them.*
    • Let NPCs sell alchemy ingredients.
    • Make more antiquity furnishings salable and use the UI to indicate when a furnishing that you're carrying can be crafted.
    • Remove the transmute crystal limit. That way, players would hoard it in the currency pile instead of separate geodes and stored reconstructed gear.
    • Ease off on new style materials, which may be happening for other reasons anyway.

    What's more ESO has already made a couple of reforms that have considerably reduced the need for storage: reconstruction and the sticker book.

    In the old days, it was worth holding on to good piece of equipment that didn't fit your current build, such as a purple, infused jerkin of Mother's Sorrow, because RNGesus was unlikely to grant another any time soon. Now that we can go to Clockwork city and make them at will, there's much less reason to store gear in banks and containers. Well, there's aforementioned transmute crystal storage, but that's fixable as explained.

    *This is a bit like when people hoard toilet paper and flour when they hear of shortages. But instead of instead of supply chain shortages, the shops all charge like $20 for four rolls or 1.5kg bag, whilst we can also randomly just find perfectly good packets lying around in our day to day lives.

    They have made positive changes to storage, but the biggest problem is still players keeping too much of everything. Having thousands of furnishings stored in multiple houses is a prime example of this. If these furnishings were actually useful to the player they would be used in decorating and not just piling up and never used for anything.

    Except that isn't true.

    It took me over a year to use trait materials. I never thought I would use them, but here I am doing so.

    When I started, I was getting all these furnishings, but only had the little houses to use them in, now I have have started using them. But, I still don't have a lot of houses, so still a lot of furnishings that don't fit my *current* houses. Or maybe something is pretty/useful enough I want to keep enough on hand to use for multiple houses.

    Just because something isn't useful to you, doesn't mean another player doesn't find it useful to them, and just because it isn't useful at this precise moment doesn't mean that sometime down the line it won't be useful when we get new houses, especially in potential new styles.

    The same thing for other aspects as well. Not everyone has a 'use this within a week or get rid of it mentality' some people prefer to keep something that they think will be useful and not have it be useful, rather than having to go replace it when it ultimately becomes useful.

    As people have pointed out, the fact is that ESO is regularly adding new items. Whether it is new outfit styles that have new style materials, or new sets with a new zone, or new furnishings or whatever, there are new items that people feel the need to collect, even if it isn't a long term collection. I have a lot of 'fragments' that I can't use because I don't have all of them collected yet (this isn't just a 'I want to use them all at once' it is a 'this fragment won't allow me to use it until I have all of them collected'). I don't want to get rid of them just because they only come around once a year (in a festival) or from content I rarely do. I also don't want to spend money or the time required hopping around to various guild traders, assuming that the items can be sold that way. All those fragments add up. When you then add in everything else some people might want to collect or might need for their particular playstyles, it adds up very quickly.

    The fact is, ESO keeps adding items and not increasing the bank space cap.
    Since Summerset, each new zone furnishing has its own special trait material (calunda lacquer, shimmering sand, etc.), companion gear, antiquity furnishings that cannot be destroyed, deconned or sold - but you need to collect 3 to get the codex entries. Etc, etc.

    "Hoarding thousands..." is a specious argument.

    Thousands of furnishings are completely reasonable because a player doesn't know in advance how they're going to build the next house they acquire. They don't even know what the house itself and the property it sits on looks like.

    If a designer is going to be anything remotely successful, they have to have a huge library of resources to draw from. Will they ever need everything they're stockpiling? Of course not. But it's also impossible to pick and choose which you'll need for later because you simply just don't know what your next design is going to be. A poorly stocked inventory will only serve to limit the possibilities.

    And with the weekly Luxury Vendor system as it is, selling high quality furnishings that can only be acquired from the Lux vendor once a year, no designer in their right mind is going to discard or destroy anything they've collected from there. As well, the Lux vendor introduces a brand new never before released furnishing every week, dumping even more items into the inventory management.

    Sure, craftable furnishings can be discarded because those can be easily replaced, even if costly to do so. But there are entirely too many furnishings that you can't craft. Lux vendor, event specific drops, furnishing packs, crown purchased furnishings from the housing editor, etc..

    I consider myself a successful designer. I have decorated 39 houses so far without having thousands of unused furnishings sitting around to choose from.

    I would never just start storing random furnishings without knowing if or when I'd ever use them. I craft the furnishings I need when I need them, not before, because I don't know what I may need until the house gives me ideas for what to do with it. If I make something I don't end up using after all I sell it on our trader.

    I also buy very few things from the luxury vendor because most of what they offer would not fit into any of the designs I like. And I've seen very few things on that vendor that could even remotely be considered luxury.

    Not too long ago, I deconstructed as much gear as I could. I didn't use most of it. Now I have lots of space! lol My crafting bag is overflowing from years of filling it and for the new stuff I pick up, I have dedicated storage chests for armor mats, alchemy mats, and style mats, and furnishing mats. I can access my bank (currently unsubbed). My characters have very little in their personal inventories.

    I didn't know which poll answer to choose because I have had inventory problems as a subscriber in the past and I am currently having no inventory problems as one not subscribed.

    That said, I think we could use a bit more space because when you have a new account, inventory problems can overshadow playing the game. You are new and you've got no gold for increasing bank space and personal inventory; (if you manage to get a house) you've got no storage chests aside from the free coffer gifted to you at a certain level; and you can feed your horse carrying capacity once a day and that is in lieu of speed which players might prefer to build up first.

    Yes, it is long overdue. I am an ESO Plus subscriber since day one (PC). I have had to buy all the additional slots from the ESO Store and even then, that does not help.

    I bought two 60 slots plus the 30 slots storage, too. I understand that ESO is buy to play (I bought the collector's edition for PC at launch, plus each subsequent collector's expansions), but it has an optional subscription model. For subscribers, at least, give us a five, ten or 15 slots with each expansion release.

    Or allow us, even, to store maps, pvp items (not gear) and seasonal celebration items using THE BOTTOMLESS BAG model.

    I would rather that our bank space was not shared with all our characters. World of Warcraft (WoW) does this best; each character has their own bank space. There is the option of buying additional space for each character, and items can be mailed between characters, thereby solving the storage issue/problem.

    WoW only has a subscription model, though. Yet, its model still works--each character has plenty of storage space of their own.

    I do all my surveys and master writs every day, sell anything of value on our guild trader, vendor cheap stuff and deconstruct everything else that I've picked up as I played that day.
    As someone who is mainly a crafter in this game and is not using add-ons, doing all surveys and master writs as I get them would take up ALL my playtime every day. And I am not in a guild as I am wanting to be self-sufficient. And I purposely store all my master writs for double exp events. Just because you play a certain way, does not mean others play that same way.

    It is a game issue! ZOS is adding more and more content and systems that take up more and more inventory space. All while never expanding the inventory and bankspace OR making it easier to complete things. The latest in these systems is the armory, which I love, but it does stress the inventory as well.
    Add to that all the other things that are made to make a player waste inventory space in-game.

    So yes, it is a game issue!

    That is great for you (no sarcasm intended), but other people have different tastes. I know I could easily sell the stuff I got from the witches festival, because a lot of people are into the 'evil laboratory' or 'skull and bones' or just general spooky aesthetic. I personally hate it. A lot of people like spiders, so anything with spiders sold well, I personally have arachnophobia, though a lot better than in my younger days.

    However, that doesn't mean that I don't have other tastes, I love flowers and so when the event that had you buying from guild stores rolled around, I bought a lot of flowers, even though I didn't have the energy to decorate at that time (was going through a lot of stuff at that time). I will use those flowers at some point when I feel like decorating again.

    Basically, my point is, just because you play in a particular playstyle or have a particular mindset with regards to keeping stuff, doesn't mean that other people don't have a different playstyle/mindset, nor that they are wrong for having that different playstyle/mindset.

    It is great that it works for you, but it doesn't work for everyone.

    Well that's all well and good for you. However, we're not talking about craftable furnishings, but those furnishings that can't be crafted.

    Simply because you don't purchase items from the Lux vendor does not detract from the point that a significantlly large portion of housing enthusiasts do. ZOS supports this by presenting the Luxury vendor with new goods every week into perpetuity. And just because you choose to limit your options does not mean other players should have to follow suit.

    There's a reason why real-life architects and decorators have access to a plethora of options when it comes to materials and furnishings. As for what you may not consider "luxurious," if you've decorated 39 houses, you know that creative designs often rely on "less-than-luxurious" items as bases for structures. This is precisely why some of the less "luxurious" goods sold by the luxury vendor are also among the most in-demand items on the market. I've never regretted stocking up on simple blocks of stone or shoddy wooden sticks—what I didn't use in my own constructions, I sold back for 5 to 20 times their original value, a practice that ensures I never want for gold.

    About the only thing I'd put on my wishlist is something to hold furnishings. Yeah, I can go buy houses and stash stuff to get it out of the Bank, but that creates the problem of having to remember which house I stashed something in. Beyond that, I do a pretty good job of keeping the Bank clutter tamped down. My personal goal is to not exceed the 240-item non-subscriber limit (I sub and have 480), but there are days when accomplishing that goal changes "Elder Scrolls Online" to "Inventory Management: The Game," so I have a lot of sympathy for the headaches non-subscribers have to endure.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    If houses are being used to store luxury vendor furnishings, I still don't see why that many items would need to keep being gathered. The items come once a year or so (I think). If we still have 10 of a certain item when it come around again do we really need to buy more?

    You don't have to buy more if you already have some. But every week a brand new never before seen furnishing is added. So there will always be something the buyer doesn't already have.

    The person might no longer have 10, because they used some. They might not have been able to buy 10 the first time when it came around because of limited funds. Maybe they consider that item so useful that they keep gathering more and use less than they gather.

    Beyond that, no YOU might not need to buy more, but *I* (and anyone else who wants to) feel the need to.

    I do wonder if a lot of the inventory issues - at least the furnishings ones - would be solved if Zanil's furnishings weren't offerred only once-a-year.

    If he just popped up every weekend and offerred his entire stock, with one new thing a week as it is now, then that would mean that nobody would have to hoard Lux vendor items in case they needed it in the future.

    The shortened listing times for guild traders really did hurt the furniture selling market as well, since nobody wants to clog up their listings with furnishings which someone might buy, if they happen to need it and come across a guild trader who possibly has something that potentially could be useful.

    It may also help if player-based writs were a thing as well. Like if there were a board where one player could post "please craft me XYZ for some amount of gold" and you accept the writ, drop it off in the box, and get paid. That would be a nice feature to add.

    I've been playing ESO since console launch. I heavily house, and PvP. These two things alone make inventory management a nightmare.

    For housing, I am an officer that leads housing events, so I always have furnishings stocked up alongside my own personal storage. Having a specific "craft bag" for furnishings has been a wish amongst the housing community for YEARS. This would not only encourage us to buy more (because we're all crazy hoarders, let's be honest lol) but it would greatly free up storage!! All my chests in my home are filled with furnishings, and at least 75% of my bank is filled with furnishings. I've got several houses as well that are serving as storage houses lol. I am not alone in this! If we had a "craft bag" for furnishings, that would fix my inventory issues. Ha!

    For those commenting about how us housers could just not purchase the items, you obviously don't house. <3

    Hubby and I also play a ton of PvP. He plays on 15 fully built out toons for PvP... that's a LOT of sets to keep on hand. And of course he's a theory crafter so he's coming up with new builds all the time. It's really fun! But we both often have a severe difficulty with bank space to keep all the fun sets. He doesn't even house, but with that many characters, it can really be a hassle.

    Not to mention.. I'm not sure how long it's been, or if there ever has been an update to our bank capacity other than giving us the storage chests to put in our homes? The game continues to expand with many new sets, items, furnishings, etc. yet we haven't been given any updates to our storage capacities. I do believe we are due for increased capacities!

    There are so many comments in this thread that I agree with. But those are my two pennies. :smile:

    I've answered this soooo many times recently, it seems.

    No offense to the OP's poll - rather, I think it's somewhat significant that this topic keeps recurring.

    I 100% think that the game needs more storage and that it primarily is a game design issue. Sure, some people hoard. But when a game's necessary inventory management time rises above a certain threshold, it is not the fault of the players. Anything that has a high drop rate takes away from inventory space because there is almost no point in selling the items until the stacks are full - for example the regular potions. Yes, I can sell them, but it's not a "real" slot if I'm auto-looting because it will be filled with the same item again, almost immediately. More than anything I specifically want additional shared bank space so it's easier to pass items between characters.

    This game has introduced new features to help with inventory (stickerbook, transitioning from items to collectibles, etc.) but it's not enough to offset the increased inventory need caused by new features. Housing alone has introduced a massive amount of items in the game. Scribing and companion gear are two more examples. Remember, by design we are encouraged to try all aspects of the game. Then, let's review how ZOS completely pushed us towards single character over multi-character playstyles with a series of updates (AwA, the Armory and how it doesn't come with inventory space nor can it pull from your bank to swap builds, and outfit slots being per character) which greatly increases the amount of gear you potentially need per toon. If you were to actually use all of the available Armory slots for purchase, and each one had a different armor set, that's pretty much all of your character inventory. And each build might have different potions and different food!

    For me, it has gotten to the point where I almost don't want rewards because it's too much work to have to deal with getting them. Well, if players get frustrated with rewards instead of wanting to earn them, what's next is not wanting to bother to play at all. I forget the exact sequence of events of why it happened, but recently I lost a handful of Rewards of the Worthy boxes in e-mail because of the horrible e-mail change they made recently, which is further squeezing inventory. It was something like... I logged on to PvP with a character that had just raided the night before and, because I don't need inventory space in Cyrodiil, I forgot to clear. Earned a bunch of boxes. Noticed right when I needed to log off. But then the holidays happened, and I was traveling, and by the time I returned the ridiculously sad timer of six days expired and poof! all of my boxes were gone. At first I was upset, which was a bummer. Then I decided not to care, which is way worse. Absolutely bad sign for the game if the expiring mail timers make you want to log off instead of claim the rewards because of inventory issues.

    Anyway, yea. More inventory and/or more features like the craft bag, please. :) And while they are at it, those six day mail timers should be at least two weeks.

    Yes, even with ESO+, housing storage and maxed space on all chars (and maybe even a guild bank)
    I think it makes a difference whether we're talking about furnishing buildings or building structures from scratch. If it was only furniture and decorations, it wouldn't be that many different parts in my bank. But if I create a whole building, that building most often needs at least 250 pieces on its own, just the structure, no furnishings included. Plus extra parts to test out which combination works best. Even if I already place most parts on the intended plot of land, some percentage will remain in the bank, like all kinds of spare and test parts. Have two projects prepared parallelly and the bank is full.

    No, even without ESO+ I have enough space
    I am not subbed. And I have enough storage space for everything I do ingame. I had a rough time with it, when I didn't have a good management system to organise my storage. Now I do.

    I also learned an important lesson in real life. "Drop the excess baggage." The key was understanding the difference between what I "want" and what I "need".

    they should increase bank space by 50 or 100 base and eso+ still giving you double the bank space so 250/500 or 300/600.
    also still want my guild bank accessible via the buyable crownstore banker - would help a lot outsourcing all my potions for raid guilds to the banker cause otherwise guild bank is not really used ...

    I'm sure that most of us players hoard to a certain degree. Earlier on I had a raging review of my my playstyle and decided that aggressive decluttering was the the key strategy. I just hate having over-full inventory/bank.

    So: deconstruct 1st, vendor 2nd & DESTROY last... no mercy and no sentimental hoarding.

    Yes, no matter how much space is allotted it will never be enough for many.

    This exactly.
    I probably wouldn't know what to do with all my bank/storage chest/ESO+ space if there was a furniture bag. As it is now, all those furnishings from antiquities, luxury vendor, events and other non-craftable sources are killing my capacities completely.

    If surveys and maps could store in the craft bag, and furniture could be deconned, it could be enough space. And make items with zero value be able to sell for 1 gold to vendors.

    No, even without ESO+ I have enough space
    I used to never have space, but since I gave up ESO+ I have had to re-think how I do my packratting...

    The stickerbook has made this fantasticly easy for me.

    I now use transmutation crystals to make any gear so the only thing I really need to farm is mats for potions and runes for enchantments.

    I only need one set of gear per toon ao I just recycle it when I want to change it...

    Having said that... If I want another set of gear - I just run randoms for a few days and I have enough crystals for another set of gear.

    edit: somehow vote dissapears when editing the entry... No, evenwithout ESO+ I have enough space

    just a matter of inventory management - using free ESO+ trials and having several characters

    But i can understand that many dont want the hazzle - for me its a bit like my personal endgame - financing all crown DLC with ingame gold and no needing ESO+ aside for some housing every now and then

    still want that furnishing bag so bad though - not for storage (have enough house space for that) but its such a pain with all the teleports to fetch things that I ofen stop mid-designing

    I just put everything in spreadsheets. One for each house, list all the items by name then sort them by style, racial etc.

    I keep all my furnishings in my bank. This way they are all accessible to all of my houses all the time. And we don't have to take them out of the bank to place them because the housing editor places them directly from the bank. Then I just use my banker to put up what I didn't keep in place and there is no running around.
