Hi Zenimax Studios,
I appreciate the questing system in this game more than i have in any MMO played before.
But my issue is that the game makes me Hoard every piece of crap that i can pick up.. like a potato ... Today I was trying to clear my bank and bag and found some many singular items that are not worth hoarding.
I like the stacking of item. But after carefully understanding all bag requirements I came to conclusion that the single worst crafting skill of all is "Cooking".
As it stand now, its a Totally worthless crafting skill as
1. I can't sell anything cuz others can make it too..
2. Uses up some skills points where point1 makes it worthless so this is worthless too.
3. Crafting Food takes up almost the Entire bank and Bag inventory space. I found I had 45 or 50 slots used up just for cooking ingredients.
These 3 points made me think and so I decided to drop my skill points in Cooking and delete all my cooking ingredients or vendor them. Voila !! Now all my problems are FIXED!
Just now I checked and I have freed about 55 slots totally from my bag and Bank together.
Seriously 55 slots??? HOw the hell did you guys make up so many ingredients? Why no just put them in one slot? Why do you want us to play the Arrangement of items game? I spend close to 1 hour just figuring out my inventory !
Thats NOT fun at all. It felt like I am an accountant. My wife was laughing at me
I lost my entire morning hour time and had to go to work. Instead of have some fun doing a quest or two, I had to manage inventory.
But I am very happy now since I deleted every single Cooking ingredient ..
The Other Crafting Skill close to being this bad is Enchanting.
How many Jajotas and Okus do i really need? So you guys intentionally WANT me to HOARD these Jajotas and Oku's till I reach level 50 right??
Cuz I see no point in using them at all ! I use them and in 2 levels they are already outdated. Whats the point?
Either Make it cheaper or easier to get those things AND reduce the amount of inventory it takes up AND REMOVE the ability of others being able to harvest those nodes without spending a single skill point.
Cooking and Enchanting HOARDER's will need about 100 slots roughly just to have everything in the game probably?
I gave them both up and I am sticking to cloth and Alchemy. Even though Alchemy takes up a lot of inventory, atleast I can use them WHILE i am play the game and not after 5 months when i reach lvl 50 like it is for enchanting.
Very Very very very bad game design for Enchanting and Cooking.
Its a shame cuz the story and questing is fantastic.......
Oh well I am going to wait another month or two and if things don't change then ..w/e
End of Rant
