Zo$ are letting this get out of hand intentionally. Since launch they have continuously added items to the game but made no expansion to inventory/management other than ESO+, which was added to entice players to sub as the other benefits were next to worthless on ESO+.
It was no surprise on Homestead to hear no change to inventory - As adding more inventory accessible in game detracts from the only real reason to subscribe to ESO.
This is where Zo$ blatantly shows there greed as they would rather make a negative impact on the playing experience of a customer and 'force' a subscription by engineering the game this way.
Players aren't asking more space for free. Most state they would pay for it, as paying for space follows the trend Zo$ has already concreted in, no surprise there. 2 years this hasn't been done with countless forum posts.

Lastly to the players stating this is a hoarding issue or not needed. RNG is *** in ESO, can't blame the player for saving such sets as Infallible Aether/VO/Maelstorm weapons etc that inherently take up space, in the bank, which is mainly used for logistical means to distribute items to any/all alts.

Simply another reason why I stopped my sub and use 2 empty guild halls (1000 Spaces) to store the majority of my items. My group of friends just keeps 2 out of 5 guild spaces free so we all can have 1000 spaces each.

With seven toons at 100 inventory space + the horse 60 (1120 slots) + 100 on the bank and the crafting bag i have too much space onestly.
Even without the eso plus bag is a lot of storage

The argument saying it's our fault because we pick everything is so wrong. Let me tell you why.

In that example, if you are not using a set right now, you think we should just let it go and wait for the next patch when it will be op to farm it again when we just farmed another set in the same place 3 months earlier? this is ridiculous, nobody wants to grind the same thing over and over again because of crappy RNG. If you get good stuff now, you keep it in case you would need it. For instance, if I loot a inferno sharpened staff in VMA, because I am a healer and I don't need that right now, you suggest I just let it there. LOL

I am only playing one healer, one magicka DD and one tank and all the rest of my toons are storage for sets that I could use in different set ups in pvp or pve for those three roles and it's currently a nightmare. Storage needs to be added : crown store or in game whatever just do it!

Just wanted to recap how much inventory space players actually have without the crafting bags ... since these kinds of threads get somewhat tiring:

12 characters with purchased bag upgrades (up to 140 each character) = 1,680 slots
Mount bag space upgrades (12 mounts x 60) = 720 slots
Personal bank space (with upgrades) = 240 slots

Total: 2,640

Personal Guild Banks = 500 slots each (up to 2,500); limit of 5 guild banks


If a player doesn't have any personal guild banks, we're still approaching 2,700 inventory slots ... not including the crafting bags or stacked inventory.

So, the first question for any player feeling constricted on inventory ... have you hit 2,640 character and bank slots yet?

This is a game, and most of us pay to be here. With the RNG as it is in this game, it is NOT a problem on the user end.

I disagree ... like most of the other forum-goers in this thread. If you can't manage what you have in 2,600+ inventory slots that's your own fault.

Your calculations don't make a lot of sense to me.

First of all, remove guild banks completely. Very few people are going to buy ten copies of the game to get one.

So that leaves me with 240 bank spaces. Do characters count as storage space? No, because they are characters that I play, and they need their inventories clear for questing (and space for the materials they will need for writs) so that I don't need to return to a town every half hour to clear them out in order to be able to continue playing.

But clearly, since they add numerous new materials, sets, and items with each new patch, 240 spaces is not enough. I have had to use one character as a bank, and my master crafter character has to haul around a lot of stuff herself because I don't quest as much on her. But now inventory management is eating severely into my limited gameplay time. Want to craft those wax grapes for the house? Wait awhile logging out to hit the character screen, endure a long loading screen to the mule character, move some provisioning items into the bank, slowly log out again, endure another long loading screen onto the crafting character that has the wax, repeat to get back to the character that you actually want to play. I slowly watch my small amount of gaming time for the day trickle away on loading screens whenever I want to craft anything, and it shouldn't be like that.

It's becoming less and less fun. I used to spend all of my time questing, but now it seems like I log in and spend the majority of my time transferring stuff back and forth after doing writs before I even get to the questing point. I just want more bank space to help alleviate this and allow me to enjoy actually playing again. And I'm willing to pay for it, so how does it hurt anyone? It's not like we are asking for non-sub craft bags or anything - just 20-30 more spaces would make me very happy.

In skyrim you had 300 lbs of inventory and items like potions, flowers, etc took 0.1 or 0.2 pounds! And in this game you start out with just 60 slots and each crafting item takes 1 slot out of 60! That is crazy.

I honestly think they do this to try and force people to get ESO plus subscription so that they get can get the crafting bag. ESO plus subscription is a great way to get people to pay large amounts even if they stop playing the game the next month.

I don't think I am exaggerating, because these developers have made too obvious that their primary objective is to just get as much money out of people as they possibly can. The ridiculous crown store prices and the whole collector's edition to get your own horse crap at the game's release, plus the amount of detail, attention, and effort they put into items/expansions (compared to the base game) that can only be accessed through a paywall, all verifies this belief for me.

Trust me, 50% of the crap your hoarding is not needed. Sell it through guild store, vendor it or deconstruct it. Just get rid of it, you will never use it.

Whether directly or indirectly knowing it... ZOS has to have made a killing on selling extra character slots when One Tamriel hit...

I have a real hard time parting with loot... especially if I think I might use it in the future... this has lead me down the path of purchasing more bag space... bank space... AND... every available character slot.

If only housing has closets that you could put all your gear in... THEN... I'd have myself a house... till then... don't care about housing.

Yes, exactly!

P.s. Sold or broke down craploads of stuff. My inventory is still overflowing. Logging on and off mule alts is really getting old.

P.p.s. I don't begrudge zos making money, but asking me to spend a 100+ dollars to partially mitigate the worst inventory system of any mmo ever? No thanks. That's greedy as hell

I believe I read a thread recently regarding the number of bank spaces and player inventory spaces.

They are capped as we know. But according to information from Zos the number of players who have actually maxed out their characters inventory and bank is a lot less than 50%, therefore they don't see the need to increase this.

I actually found this hard to believe lol

I have not maxed it out yet, eso+ so don't have an need, I also have an bank alt from before who I uses to store reserve sets and fun stuff.
Guess many causal or people who don't play much don't have the gold to fully upgrade

Come on ZOS! What's the deal with being so lacking in storage options in game? What is the justification for forcing players to fill up their player slots with mules? Why isn't there more bank space availability? Why isn't there more carrying capacity per toon availability? Why isn't there expandable storage options with the purchase of a home? Why isn't there a mule option for a character slot that can carry much more than a standard toon?

Why ZOS? Why?

Why don't we have more storage and inventory management options in ESO? What is the justification?

ZOS could be selling these options, and they would be eagerly purchased even if grossly over priced.....and we STILL don't have the option available even at an exorbitant cost. Why?

I need 1400 storage slots to clear my mules...and I don't save anything that isn't a prime trait or in my craft bag.

Same reason there's only 8 character slots and 4 classes with 2 build types (magic/stamina). So you buy eso plus and more slots. 5th class with morrowind but your not gonna see a character slot increase with it. They want your money and care not of your more than reasonable request for more inventory slots. They've been adding too the game since launch but there's been 0 bag or bank space increases. Call the dirty (I know i do) but you have too admit there smart with there business tactics.

"your unreasonable request to store many useless and irrelevant suits of gear in your inventory", there, I've corrected it for you.

or perhaps better put - is easily replaceable at the point you do need it.

i am really starting to crack down on any BoE armors i have kept that doesn't have a solid identifiable "i will use this for" and the right traits for it. unless i see a reason more compelling than "might need it to settle for it fill the set" - its being fed to my newly advancing crafters for skill levels.

Now the BoP stuff and the BoE weapons with 'the best traits - set- type combo" - those get a lot of leeway since the ability to replace them at a guild store or overland on demand is not as effective.

How much does it cost to max bank space again? More than 750k?

Yes around 750K so its not money an causal player have.

The reason of that is to force you to subscribe to eso+ and use crafting bag, which is super convenient and make all your inventory issues go away by the way.
If i didn`t buy all dlcs with crowns before and if they didn`t announce morrowind buyable only with cash it might be worth it, but for me paying 15$ a month just for extra bag is just too crazy...

I need 1400 slots in addition to the craft bag. ...if I am to clear my mules. And again, I do not save anything that is not a prime trait.

This is the situation ZOS created when they made all dungeon items bind on pickup. This is the problem ZOS should solve, even if it means selling us what we need; we ill buy it at very high prices at this point. That's why I don't understand the hold up. They've got us to the point we will pay almost anything for the fix, and they still don't make it available to us.

Out of curiosity why do you need to keep all that extra stuff?

A lot of it's not so much, "I need to have this," but it's more like, "I don't need this now, but I might need it down the road, and it's a BoP item that's really hard to come by, so I should keep it just in case." The set hoarding largely comes from a player's fear of getting rid of an item that they'll want later, and replacing it would require putting themselves through numerous runs of a dungeon that they've already done numerous times trying to find something else. It comes from terrible RNG and the inability to trade some of the best items in the game.
