Patch 2.2 called. It wants its shortcomings back

Right, and true. Like I said, user error is a component. But when you have 200 inventory, I'm sorry but nobody in their right mind is checking each item individually when dismantling, if they are then they have serious OCD problems. At Champion 225 I know that everything I pick up is dismantle fodder - I really shouldn't have to worry about my banked items - especially since I never knew until now that was a thing. Even a prompt like "This item is currently in your bank, are you sure you wish to proceed?" would be nice.

As for the enchanment one - yes it does come down to simply reading - but again, if I'm in the middle of combat, I'm in a rush to charge my weapon - 99% of the time this isn't an issue, I get my weapon charged and bada boom I'm on my way... there's just the 1% of the time where I accidentally hit the wrong selection. Again, an item is locked... you probably shouldn't be able to do anything to it... it is locked after all.

ZOS isn't really responsible for what the Lock feature of an addon does and doesn't cover.

Does ZOS not do the add-ons? I'm not particularly familiar with their development structure. I figured they made the game and Bethesda just slapped their name on it because they own the rights to the ES series.

There is a lock function, use.

I'm sorry but nobody in their right mind is just mindlessly pushing buttons without checking each item individually when dismantling, if they don't, then they have serious ADD/ADHD problem.

And having a message show up on each item in the bank would be horrible and be really frustrating when deconstructing stuff.

Having an auto recharge function on weapons would be good. But for any really important fight, Vet Trial HM boss for example, you always check food and charges etc before starting anyway. Or at least you should.

All of the above problems are simply because of the user being careless and spazzing, spamming buttons without reading. And now we actually have a lock function too, it was easier to make a mistake when we didn't.

Right

1. I didn't know that items in the bank got counted in the mix - who in their right mind assumes items in the bank are NOT safe and secure - I've made that mistake once and I won't again - but what about people who don't know, like I didn't this morning? Kinda funny that for since the game came out I've never banked armour or weapons - but it's the truth, I only banked Mats and had a maxed and full bank - but since i'm a plus subscriber I have Crafting Bag now - all that is in my bank generally is Motifs. So even if this is a 3 year old mechanic that it could draw from the bank - I had no idea - and with One Tamriel having just released, how much new blood is out there that also doesn't know?

2. No it's no ADD or ADHD, when I pick up gear, I instantly dismantle - usually with a maxed inventory of 195 items (I don't count the last 5 because they need to be open to dismantle things.) I want the mats, not the gear - I have two complete sets for my char. and don't plan to change - so yes, I blow through the list like anybody past level 50 would. To further make confusion - in this instance I bought WHITE items that were nirnhoned and instantly banked them, no idea I had to lock them because it's not like this game teaches you jack Sh*t anyway, they just drop you in the world and expect it to be okay - now I'm sorry but if you're telling me that Champion 225 players should be checking every individual white piece for dismantling - then surely it comes back to an OCD thing. Only a massively obsessive pleb would check all of their 100 white gear pieces when they KNOW it's generally all crap - I shouldn't even say generally - no matter what stage of the game you are - level 0 to Champion whatever it goes to - white gear is crap. If you look twice then you probably have a problem.

3. You shouldn't have to lock items in a bank. It almost seems redundant to tell you this, but perhaps it's because you don't understand how a bank works. You see, a bank protects your money and goods, they hold it for you. They don't just show up at Wal-Mart when you're at the checkout line and give you money - you have the money in your pocket. So why does crafting stations not only count the items in my pocket(bag)? That's the more common sense approach. It's stupid that bank items are in crafting stations and I don't many who would disagree with this point.

If we think of ATM - that's a seperate option, and you can choose to do that and have the bank virtually send you money. So if people think gear from the bank SHOULD show, then why not just another tab for bank items... literally press R1, one single time, and boom - there's your banked gear.

4. I have no idea what message thing you're talking about - that wasn't my idea. My idea is that bank items shouldn't in the crafting stations at all, period. My follow up is that the bank items should have their own tab, which is far less of a nuissance than a pop-up message.

5. Why would somebody put something in the bank if they planned on dismantling it? I mean, have you even considered the lack of logic that would take... generally I put stuff I want to KEEP in the bank lol. There is 0 point in a storage system if it's not safe - why have a bank? Just give us 400 inventory slots and be done with it. It's the exact same thing apparently since your bank doesn't protect jack sh*t.
