    There is not enough bank space and it is unfairly priced.
    not even close to enough space for one character but doable once you have all spots unlocked,but ad a second vet character and the game turns into and inventory management game were your juggling you items around just so you can keep a trophy/pet or other replaceable item.

    i have a full guild bank that i can use that gives me an additional 500 bank space for non bound items and this solves some of my problems downside to that is my crafter cant use any of the items stored there for crafting unless he juggles inventory again to make room to withdraw them for use.

    i only have two characters that i have leveled and already have issues with bank space cant imagine what having 8 guys would be like,i wouldn't feel the need to keep so many crafting items in my bank if the game had an actual auction house or other way to buy from people besides sifting through guild store after guild store filled with junk and way over priced items.

    Banks in other games are not that big at all. This feels big enough at first but if you ytu to save all crafting stuff plus some gear for research it gets a bit small. Add to that all CE treasure maps and items, it is always full.

    Considering it is for all characters on account it could be bit bigger, maybe 10-20 slots bigger but then again.. We should no0t save all we get from crafting. We should sell them to those who need them for fair price.

    Logging relatively frequently in and out of six mules is not how I want to play a game long term.

    I understand that part of modern mmo design is to introduce tedium and whatnot so that we feel like we accomplished and overcame something and so stick with the monthly fee - but the inventory space vs. number of materials etc. in ESO is just silly.

    Then DONT log in with mules?

    I run a guild where I am the guild chef. I have lots of mats in MY bank for the guild. Still works fine.

    I have 1 alt. That's it.

    No one forces you to do anything. The inv space have been explained over and over.

    I haven't played enough to answer this poll, but I will say that bank space purchases are a good gold sink.

    Balancing an MMO economy is difficult, and if this is how ZOS counterbalances some of the gold entering the game, then I'm not going to argue at this stage in my playing "career."

    Bank space in EVE is infinite, you can have anything you want in any quantity in any one or all of the 10,000 different space stations littered through out the game. So don't say other games don't have it, every single TES game had ample storage although not convenient until moded in a house.

    Every single RPG i have played online or otherwise i have been a pack rat. The point of an RPG is it is all your choice how you want to play. The facility for pack rats/hoarders should have been in from the get go. A lot of people play that way, and from the voting so far the majority is that there is not enough bank space and it is unfairly priced.

    Yes we need gold sinks, what we don't need is to be penalised for our play style. My hoarding saved me a huge pain in the ass when i wanted to level 2 characters to level 40 in provisioning for the food timer increase. If i hadn't i would be pissing more gold away on dull *** like bank space not to mention the increase in time to find the mats, match them with recipes ect.

    My next bank upgrade is 30Kish that is like 300 Health/Stam/Magic pots or 200 filled Grand Soul gems or 6 -10 legendary Improvement items or 9 - 10 Kuta or 30 Veteran Blue Glyphs. Buying cool stuff in the game, nah spend it on bank space that makes sense. Buying bank space is fun right oh and a total bargain.

    There should be progression in the game and no it shouldn't all happen quickly, bank space is not one of those things i expect to have to grind for in a pay to play and after all that grind and 750K you still won't have enough slots.
    If real life had a block function i would go out more.

    Bank space was a problem in the mid levels, but not at the start or now.

    At high level, I had enough horse space to make things easier (6 * 50 = a lot of space), and at low level I didn't have enough junk to fill it up. 3 mains, 3 crafters, and 2 banking mules.

    But in the middle levels, before I started to add horse space, things were tough.

    As already pointed out by various people in the thread, gold sinks are necessary.

    To be honest, I don't really like the stacking inventory system, but it's designed like that for a purpose (to reduce the amount of data stored).

    That's a load of horse poo. In this modern age of technology each item is mere bytes. You could literally have thousands of inventory slots and it would be no big deal. Storage is cheap these days.

    The ONLY reason it is the way they made it is to artificially limit us for no good reason. because there is no other gold sink except repairs (which they already lowered)... I don't count horses because thats a 1 time per char gold cost AND most people i know just have imperial so it's not a thing.

    What I want is to be able to store both unique quest trophies and all of my crafting materials. Atm I'm only really doing light armour but it's a massive hassle to move things from my main character to my craft alt since most of my bank is taken up with items such as quest trophies/vanity pets. I'm therefore forced to move this stuff to a pack mule alt in order to keep my bank free for crafting materials
    I'd like more spaces so that I can keep my character slots free for actual use rather than pack mules...

    you just have a maximum of 240 bank space to deal with and mules, nothing more nothing less, its your choice what to put in it.

    There are two types of players in this game, MMO players and TES players (yes there is overlap). Thing is, MMO players are used to being brutal with their inventories and only keeping what they can use right now or use in the near future. Everything else gets sold, traded, destroyed or trashed.

    However, TES players have, for the last 20 years, been encouraged to collect things, armor sets, rares and uniques and collectibles. We can't do that in this game. Worse thing is, ZOS encourages packratting with Trophies, Set Items, Collectibles, Treasure Maps, huge ranges of crafting materials, etc etc.

    So, you can either be brutal with your inventory MMO style and have all the room you need, or you can try to collect things and just get frustrated.

    Just this weekend I got a pair of Gloves with a nice enchantment and stats on it, and it was clearly marked Unique. In other TES games this would earn a place in my house somewhere, possibly even worn on special occasions. Nope, not in this game, I looked at it, thought, hmm, unique item, this is useless I already have the trait researched, deconstruct it.

    Why have things to collect if we can't collect them?

    Thing is, I don't even think it's a divide between MMO players and TES gamers. I've played plenty of MMO's before this one, and I've never had an inventory system as bad as this one.

    It's not about wanting to hoard everything I find, it's about not wanting to have to delete every single item I ever encounter during my gameplay. It's quite the difference.

    Yep. right there with you. I've played previous TES games, although only skyrim has kept my interest for long. I'm a MMO player hardcore though and I think the inventory system is horrible in ESO. They made a lot of very stupid design decisions and it's all come together into a giant mess .

    Oh yeah and trophy's, some of them are quite fun but i am not wasting the bank space on them which is a shame and wasting gold on inventory space for mules. It is stupid. It is not fun. It is crap. Zos seem to be going out of their way to make the game hard work.

    Agreed. I don't think a game system should interfere with playability. Being afforded the inventory between alts and the bank and having to do all the logging in and out and swapping back and forth makes use of the game system, but it prohibits smooth play and the ability of a character to save items for their crafting. The mechanic of the system interferes with playability. It needs fixing.

    I like to keep my bank full so I don't inadvertently add more stacks than I want in there. At 180 slots plus a maxed bag, I am finding it difficult to find more things to fill it up.

    I really don't know what you hoarders are hoarding for.

    If we could hoard everything, there might aswell be no bag/bank limit at all. There needs to be a cap. Yes, collecting crafting materials for every profession takes a lot of space, but it makes sense to be selective and pick what is most important. At max capacity, 240 is more than enough bank space for everything in my opinion (that provisioning rework needs to hurry up though to reduce the number of food materials).

    However, I do think the cost is a bit expensive. More bank space should be unlocked as you progress in order to store the new tier of materials you find, yet quests don't give enough gold to meet the higher and higher costs of storage. That being said, I have had to use alts to store things while I collected the gold needed to expand my bank, which is almost at 230 now after 4 months of playing.

    I have been levelling three characters, so I have been picking up stuff quicker than I can buy the bank slots. And I have been coping.

    The only issue for me is the prices.

    Not at all. They can gather their own mats, or your main crafter can go to a lower level map and gather them himself. It seems silly to keep levels of all resources for the few times you will need them.

    As a crafter, the bank space is way to small. for each lvl in a craft we should get one more slot or something like that at least..!

    The price should be raised in all honestly. We need more gold sinks in this game to keep the economy from overheating with to much currency.

    No offense here, but... this game has absolutely no economy to begin with, and raising the price on bank costs and bag costs only means your taking away the players money from spending it on other "Exorbitant costs" in game elsewhere. Like Respecs and repairs.

    It is currently less expensive to Craft an entirely new set of gear then to repair it. For example (Improved items of epic and legendary quality maybe.. being the exception).. which is ludicrous.

    Until you actually understand how the economy in a game, and in RL work, you should probably keep your mouth shut. As you clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

    ESO has a ton of gold sinks already, too many in fact, A player should not have spend 3-4 days going 10 levels getting 6k gold in the process, only to have to dump every single bit of that into 1 game feature, such as a bank slot expansion, a bag expansion, or a respec, or hey a repair or 3.

    While at Vet 12 Gold may come in like rain, the lower levels suffer a distinct lack of income. And V12's only make up 2-5% of the population. Which you fail to take into account.

    Also not everyone enjoys farming one spot for hours, or using their alt slots just for Mules, and Resource hack Characters (Miner hireling mules). Most people only do it because unless they do their income sucks and they have no materials or gold to progress through the game.

    Anyone with actual knowledge of how a game economy works knows ESO's "economy" is the worst in MMO history.

    When i have to create 3 mules and increase their inventory space by 20 just to alleviate the bank space issue there isnt enough space.

    Coming form someone who likes to play alts this lack of bank space and need of mules 1) reduces the amount of characters i can create and experiment with. 2) i clearly need max bank space plus 200 more slots of storage just to reduce the head ache of bank and inventory management.

    i imagine if i only used one character and only did one craft there would be enough bank space.

    It also brings up the issue why are we locked out at only making a total of 8 Characters?

    Here is my problem, tbh i think we need a crafting bag or something along those lines. I don't think our crafting stuff should be mixed with regular gameplay stuff. I think that the stuff i want to keep i cant keep because crafting stuff alone takes up the whole bank, and even tho i can afford the upgrade on the bank slots, its not worth it to me. if the price on the bankspace was cheaper i would go ahead and buy some more, but that would only give me 10 more per purchase to i dont know what end. Then ZOS developed costumes and trophies. I wasn't able to keep a single one of those things. even tho i wanted to. Wasting a second or third or even a fourth character slot is not a fix. Should we increase bag/bank space? Personally i say no. But we should have a special tab where all of our crafting supplies go, that would alleviate 90% of the problem

    The need to create mules just to bank items at all points to the current bank / inventory system as woefully inadequate. Seriously. I almost spend as much time managing my inventory as I do playing. Managing inventory is a chore, and not fun in the least.

    Player inventory space would be adequate if a person had a character bank and did not have to bank items on their person. "banking" items on your person is ridiculous, because be definition a bank is where you would store items for later use.

    The issue ESO woefully suffers from is a very poor banking system compared to other MMOs. If banking is finally addressed, player enjoyment will go up exponentially.

    My proposal:
    Add a per character bank in addition to a shared bank. Make them both the same size. Either make them upgrade together with a single payment, or max one of them from day 1 and pay to upgrade the other.

    Make trophies and pets cost 0 inventory space. IMHO this should have been done on Day 1. Make CE rewards require 0 inventory space.

    I basically can't create characters anymore because, between 2 characters, both who are doing Blacksmithing and Enchanting, I have no bank space left on my shared bank. So any new character I create will have zero bank access.

    So basically, I'm tapped out at 2 character slots because of this game's *** inventory.
