Make shared gold on all users.

Tandor · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

I'm fine with it as it is, and yes I do have a lot of characters across two accounts

!

The only change I'd make is to follow the EQ/EQ2 bank system of having part of the bank inventory shared, and part specific to the character. That way you could put an item you wanted to keep for one character in his section of the bank and not deconstruct it by mistake when a different character is at the crafting station!

The OP's concern would be easily covered if you could mail stuff including gold to other characters on your account rather than having to use the bank for transfers.

You do know you can lock items and deposit them in the bank, right? When you're at a crafting station, they won't even show up in the deconstruct window. Also, after next patch, you will be able to improve locked items as long as the success chance is 100%.

Thanks for reminding me about locking items. I just think it's easier if each character has sole access to those items you are holding specific to that character. As it is, it's easy to forget to lock items routinely.

Yes, would be useful.

Could be a perk of ESO+

Night_Watch · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

I think the way gold is just now is good. I can keep spending gold per character and account wide gold in bank for use by any character. Sure it means that I may have to call into the bank for a bit of gold from the pool now and then but this is hardly a hadship.

The arguments against it so far pretty much boil down to

'no, i like making things a little bit more inconvenient for myself'.

Actually there is a strong argument against it with the current justice system. I keep less than 5k per gold on each character. That way, if I am feeling like a criminal and get caught, I only can lose that amount. It's also a nice way to help you save gold if you deposit 5k into your bank every time you have more than that. I know people with insanely high bounties on one of their alts. If they would risk all their gold every time they got caught, they would not be happy.

I would not be opposed to being able to purchase things from guild traders directly from your bank.

Crap, you beat me to it. Haha

Tyrobag · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

I like being able to budget out what my characters can spend. It stops me from overspending, either intentionally or accidentally. Plus that feeling when you add the money a character just earned to the bank, and the amount pushes up to another 1mil increment is.... irreplaceable $$$

$$$

Can't think of any reason not to other than maybe an eso+ benefit, like crafting bag is shared so yeah, why not.

Dark_Lord_Kuro · July 2017

I put almost all my gold in my bank
Keeping 100k on my main
And 10k on others
My millions rest in my bank

Hempyre · July 2017

Deposit in bank.

Non-issue.

I could have sworn 14 was the limit.

That's a great idea until you get a million bounty one one toon and the rest have to pay for it. Lol

Recently added is being able to lock items while at the crafting station using the interface. So, if you come across something that should be locked in the bank, you can lock it while you are otherwise crafting.

If you reread what I said mate, I wrote that the 'arguments so far', the bounty system had not been raised yet and that is a fair point to make and one I hadnt consider.

Then you just suicide on a guard and pay the 50g repair cost. Bounty goes away when killed by guards (along with any stolen loot still on you.)

Danikat · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

My other MMO does this and I got used to it, to the point where it doesn't bother me. But the only real benefit I get from it is when I delete a temporary character I don't have to worry about remembering to deposit their gold first.

But given the choice I prefer being able to keep separate amounts of gold on different characters and in the bank, it makes it easier for me to organise it and save for different things that way.

MLGProPlayer · July 2017

Yes, would be useful.

I don't get the point of having to bank gold to transfer it between characters. It's not like there is a gold limit in the bank. It's just an inconvenience.

You've never looked at your coin purse after being killed by a guard have you? They take your bounty if they kill you.

Which is actually pretty ridiculous and should change. If I choose death, that should be my punishment. Only stolen items should be lost if you're killed. ~Pibb

Wreuntzylla · July 2017

I have to think that everyone saying "bank" bought the banker assistant.

And that's why it won't change.

Loralai_907 · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

I don't have a problem with the current set up. Each character carries 5k. Everything else goes in the bank. If I need more for whatever reason, I go get it. I'm not sure I understand what the issue is.

Probably because I've always managed to get away.

If they take the bounty when they kill you, even MORE reason to bank your gold.

IMO, the only thing that could be added is that if your character doesn't have the amount of gold needed to spend on something (i.e bank upgrade, pack upgrade, buying from guild store, etc.) there could/should be an option in the UI to use the gold from the bank directly, without the need of withdrawing from the bank first (perhaps, at a small cost/charge).

deepseamk20b14_ESO · July 2017

Yes, would be useful.

1. Bank space is already shared.
2. It would save time.
3. There's portals with evil demons and pieces of long wood that shoot fire. Pretty sure we are capable of a magic wallet that lets us access our other characters coinage.

MasterSpatula · July 2017

No, leave it the way it is.

This is one of those "characters" vs. "toons" issues.

I have characters, not toons, so I prefer they have their own money. If I need to share, I have all the tools I need to do that.
