I really love this game, but I generally hate games that give advantages to people who dish out cash. I have purchased the dlc's and the imperial upgrade because it offered extra game content in the form of maps, skills, a character, ext. I even have crowns purchased already, just waiting to be used on the upcoming Dark Brotherhood. I am considering buying a mount, too, because my character deserves a bad-ass ride. I generally don't see the point in paying for perks like experience, or other ESO plus perks, because I thought that the whole point was for me to enjoy the time it takes to get experience and play the game.

For the craft bag, it really sucks to see them put a real money price on bag space just because there isn't enough in the game when there should have been. I would like a way to purchase the bag with crowns, gold, or achievements. I am only level 27, and bag space is becoming an issue already. I have only been making food, and would like to make clothing now too, but it is difficult to keep everything that I need. Aside from buying a 10000 g horse, I have spent the rest of my gold on bag space, bank space, and mount capacity upgrades. In order to explore all of the crafting options this game has to offer I am going to have to put my materials on alternate characters and use them like mules. I did not mind this dynamic, until I realized that the space issue will be fixed in the future for eso plus members but not me. The perks are good for ESO plus members because it makes the game less tedious for them and frees them to spend time on other aspects that they enjoy. Do not give them exclusive rights to something so functional as this bag. I am always willing to buy more content in the form of dlc's, but I do not think it is right to force me to pay monthly for the "perk" of craft item space. I don't even like the idea of buying it with crowns, truly.

Do I think ESO plus members should get this bag?
Yes; and increase the capacity per item to 8.4 billion for them!

Do I think all ESO players should get a more reasonable way to store crafting materials?
Yes. Even at a cap of 200, I would like to be able to store all of the materials I need for crafting so I can use all of the crafting features in the game.

I think it would be a good thing as it would encourage subs to do more crafting for other players. I'm a guild master and do alot of crafting for my guild mates but it's pretty difficult to keep a reliable stock of mats for every player level. Hopefully the bag will change that so i can help more of my guild mates much quicker and still get to play the game myself.

as for letting others buy it outside of the sub, that defies the whole point of it being a sub incentive, because everyone will just do a single payment again and then wait for the next DLC like they do now.

They'd have to keep the sub or lose the bag and it's contents.

I have subbed on the Xbox One since the game came out. I really like they are adding this to the ESO+. I believe from my perspective that this really makes my sub money well more worth it as the benefits before where small. Yes I get all the DLC's, but I have more than paid for all of them (Not complaining).

The fact that it is unlimited is just awesome. My main has all crafting maxed out and with almost all the traits researched. I like being able to to provide great gear and such for guildies and friends and this really allows me to expand on that and hold all the low level mats as well. I have my own bank and my own guild bank that is full. So again cannot wait until we get this.

The only issue I see is that with so many people holding so many items that the item screens for these characters may start to get slow an buggy like it does on the guild bank and this is concerning. A nice part is with the space being unlimited you will not need to spend so much time taking things out and re-stacking like you have too in the guild bank all the time.

$180 dollars is a bit much for a crafting bag per year.
While I subbed till DB patch notes hit, I also bought all the expansions anyway. and probably will continue to do so, along with costumes, and probably player housing.

I just feel like this is a bit...much.

How am I supposed to vote with my wallet here?

Idk , I just fundamentally believe bag space is a player "right"... a mechanic that should be available in game to anyone. IE ur bank should at a minimum be able to hold every crafting material in the game, perhaps 2~3 stacks of each. I believe this short sighted design being rectified by a monthly price is just insulting, and furthermore; encourages them to design further short comings in the future....that they'll "fix" for a price.

@Turelus Yup I agree. I don't think they'll put it in the crown store. If subs got more crowns and more discounts I wouldn't be bothered if they did though. Instead of being a way to attract more subs they've just created animosity between subs and none subs. But I agree, subs should be getting more exclusive content and cheaper content but zenimax wants as much money from us all as possible. It's a business afterall.

I disagree. I do not think that a bag like you describe is a "right" in any RPG. As annoying as people find limited bag space, or limited movement at a certain inventory level, it is there for a reason. It helps to balance the game and forces players to make choices. This is why this bag surprises me so much. It indicates that ZOS is interested in a game where the players do not have to make as many hard choices, if any. This is hardly surprising if you look back at previous game decisions, like Cadwell, and where they are going with other things they have planned.

So the game becomes more homogeneous and boring. It is not like ESO is the only game out there.

I also voted Yes, and here is why? This is just another good reason and a "perk" and having ESO plus;) IF I am going to continue to pay $14.99 a month for a service. I want my $$$$ worth.

Is there a way to disable it?

The automatic send to crafting bag feature has f*****d up my well organised storage.

Edit - @zos please tell me how to disable this bag. Ive cancelled plus because of it but have to wait a week or 2 for it to run out.

Very disappointed that the crafting bag is not available as a crown purchase also. Having purchased all the DLC up to this point it seems silly to purchase ESO plus just for the crafting bag. If it is not added as a crown purchase I would think that along with all the server connect issues would be enough to push me and other DLC purchasers to slow our ESO game play if not finally move on. Having the option to purchase everything vs rent to own it (using ESO+ crowns) has always been a positive in my mind. Not having the buy option in the crown store on such an important item to crafters always fighting with inventory/bank space is offensive.

Have you tried a mangement addon like Advanced Filters (by Randactyl)?

I already bought all the dlcs off the gem store so a sub would be a waste of money for me. Wished they'd put it in the gem store so everyone can enjoy.

A lot of the ESO Plus people probably purchase the DLC, anyway. Once they come out with the DLC pack, if it is priced right, more may do it.

Yes.

I see the crafting bag as something everyone should have. I think paying a SUB (ESO+) should be the standard. I don't like games that go to free-to-play, but have a store.

Since there is no such thing as Free-to-Play (some how, some way the game has to be paid for) I would rather pay subscription, than have the game-play altered to entice in-game store purchases.

I would remove the in-game store if I could. Just make everyone sub up. I know this is an unrealistic expectation in this day and age.

But I associate online stores to "Farmville, Candy Crush, or other game that are designed to get you to pay money to continue to play.

I rather just have this - "We made the best game we could and this is what we charge for it."
