Dear ZOS, has there been a discussion on banks yet?

Dear ZOS,

I play on the PS4 version of ESO. I know how busy you can be working on other developments of the game, time is money, ideas have to be passed through a group of people in meetings and so on but just hear me out on this. It's just a couple of minor things that I know will help out a lot of people in game but development on your end will need to see if there's an option for this to be worked in on your schedule. Who knows, maybe you already started this process.

Guild Bank:
Will there ever be an option to stack guild items so I don't have to pull them out, stack them on my character, and put back in the bank? There should be an "option" button that includes retrieving a certain amount like what we do with craft bags and also an option to stack. I also want to suggest possibly giving more options like allowing the GM to set amount of items a rank can take out a day and allowing members to see what's in the bank but can't take out. It's ridiculous to have the same motif or recipe not stack either because it takes up so much room sometimes. Just adding the "retrieve" button when you click on it should just be good enough for any stack item. It works great for the crafting bag, why not implement it throughout the entire storage system?

Guild Store:
I think there should be an option to focus more on specific items one is looking for in search. If I am only looking in a guild store for Assassin style, I have to flip through all the Xivkin/Mercenary and pages upon pages of motifs and possibly pass an Assassin style or not even find one. If I just want to search for every possible piece of spriggins, can we get that option?

Personal Banks:
I just feel like there's not enough options for personal banks as well. We keep getting more Bind on Pickup and Bound items but not increase the personal bank space. I am quickly running out and I know several people who only create guilds just to get that extra guild bank for themselves to move things form their personal bank into there. I personally do this myself. If you gave the option to stack recipes, this would help clear up some space as well and implement the "retrieve" option. I have a feeling there's a reason you haven't allowed stacking of recipes/motifs but I am just asking for this.

These are just a few things that come to the top of my head that I know others would agree and disagree with. I, personally, don't want more motifs in updates. I want more space and options for storage. It would be cool to see anyone else suggest anything more were I failed to take something into account or whatnot. I just feel these areas are lacking in attention.

These are some great ideas, I wish they were implemented...

What ESO is missing is each character should have its bag and a bank on top of the account wide bank. That would go a long way to fix the storage capacity issue.

I am not sure I agree with per character bank space separate from account bank space simply because I think it would be better all round if the account bank space was increased that way inventory is easier to manage. I get tired of switching characters to find that one piece I knew I had somewhere but don't remember on what character so I find myself switching onto 6 different characters. PC have ways of organizing all their inventory. I am kind of jelly of them.

But knowing ZOS, for increase personal bank space, they may require a premium account. I am already a tool to ZOS.

I don't think each character needs more bank space, they just need most of the existing bank space to be character-specific. Have some shared bank slots yes, but not the whole lot.

Being able to sort the stuff you want all characters to access including when crafting from the other stuff that is personal to each character would be hugely beneficial, while those who only run a single character have plenty of space for that especially if they subscribe and have the crafting bag.

The problem with inventory management isn't the number of slots available, it's how the game handles them.

This is true. There's so much you can collect that it's hard, at least for me, to keep track of them all on my PS4. I am a hoarder but I collect items for friends/guild members.

The reason you can't stack in banks is because when you could do it there was a duplication bug. Needless to say it was taken advantage of and instead of fixing it they just removed it.

Osteos · January 2017

We need an increase in overall stack sizes and perhaps a universal stack size. Right now it varies, potions-100 but soul gems- 200 etc, and I think that looted white glyphs that are the same should stack. Also it would be great with key fragments once you reach 60 would convert to keys that stacked just like undaunted keys.

For the record they did say surveys, motifs and recipes were going to be stackable. At least I think I read it somewhere. For me it would make sense to stack paper items anyway, it what world does a recipe take up as much space as the meal it makes, or how one motif page takes the same amount as a whole book?

I agree with the op a search function should be implemented in kiosks that is more specific. And stacking mats in the bank should work just as in my inventory or craft bag. For instance when I do my provisioning writs why do I have to take the meals and drinks and then split it?
