FIrst, every damn poll should have "Other" as an automatic option. There's almost always an additional option not thought of and, as such, leaves people picking the wrong choice or none at all.

There are lots of QoL improvements they could make. I don't see them going to the 'trouble' of doing any of them for a number of reasons I won't bother explaining here (it ceased to be worth my Dev time some time ago).

• Common inventory access across all characters would be a huge step in the right direction. If you want to cap what someone can carry, fine, but allow characters to swap in and out among themselves without having to relog 85 times in the process. The simple act of marking something for vendor or decon with a keypress, not the drawn out process of marking as Junk now would save phenomenal amounts of time.
  
  This leads to an inordinate amount of time involved just to sort through gear sets to see what is present and what is needed. Do this without addons (SetTracker, Inventory Insight, Advanced Filters) and the time required grows exponentially.
  
  It's a BS way to reduce server load - if you're fishing in your inventory across 10 different characters, you're not tasking the server or the net connection very hard.
• Not requiring multiple copies of the same sets. You can only play one character at a time and visual style is now separate from gear function via outfits, why (other than the grind) are multiple copies of the same set required? Technically, you could share a set by swapping back and forth between characters, via bank transfer (see above), but short term, how many people bother to do this?
• Sets once acquired should be easier to reacquire, right up to the quality involved. With the frequency at which Devs insist on changing set bonuses, it quickly becomes tedious to have shelved golded out sets on standby. Why? Because some are more involved to obtain, especially in right trait, especially if transmutation was involved, especially if they were fully upgraded.
  
  Even if you break it down to upgrade mat cost, when you decon, you might get 1 of 8 tempers back.
  
  I lost track of the number of times I've farmed multiple copies of sets, in perfect trait, before transmute was even an option, only to have them nerfed, deconned, and brought back to useful state again over the course of multiple patches.
  
  It's ***. I don't necessarily have issue with the time involved acquiring a set the first time(s). It shouldn't have to repeat ad nauseam, and certainly not when every DLC involves sets put out intentionally OP (sorry, no one's that stupid unless it's on purpose) to require their possession.
• Enter events - you now have an absurd level of inventory occupied at any given time, so you get to choose between worthwhile gear and the other bonuses available.
• Of course, all of these push towards ESO+ with 2x bank space and craft bag, and purchase of the vendor and/or banker. Because without these things, the already tedious, time consuming aspects of the game become even worse.
• Bind on equip, things that don't stack, Containers that somehow managed to fit in other containers (chests, etc) but somehow won't fit in a standard bank (even if they will fit in a guild bank or a mail attachment) all add to the nonsense even further.

Personally I hoard a lot but it's not really that big of issue after everything. You should buy some things when you need them not just hoard them.

Absolutely does not apply to the 80% of Bind-on-Pickup sets that are worthwhile in this game.

If it was truly a matter of selling what you didn't need, and being able to reacquire later, you'd have an argument there.

Most of the problem comes down to gear, most of that comes down to weapons and jewelry. You shouldn't have to spend the amount of time reacquiring full sets because they're insistent on changing the game every time the wind blows.

Oh, and the limitless crafting bag.

Everyone conveniently overlooks that the craft bag only stores the 398 craft mats, and doesn't help with EVERYTHING ELSE EVER that keeps showing up. If CP levels go up with every update (we're at 810 now right?) then why can't bag and bank slots similarly creep up? What is so impossible about adding one more upgrade to buy at the bank and pack merchant?

I mean, we'll all complain about the cost (65k was the last upgrade cost so I guess 80-100k for future and climbing regularly) but at least OFFER it sheesh. I assure you I for one would happily accept this new gold sink to the game.

I chose housing slots because we need a bit more- especially with the size of the Psijic Villa.

Edit/ and more storage

With ESO+ you have the potential to have eight chars with 200 slots and a bank with 480*.
The bank doesn't store your crafting items, so you don't have to worry about those.

That gives 2080 slots for hoarding without spending any more money on storage.
Or 1040 slots if you don't subscribe, Minus around 400 slots for crafting, that still leave over 600 slots.

That's still 60 full sets of wearables. At least.

From a time management perspective, you'd possibly be better off selling everything you hoard now and just buy what you need, when you need it.

(* please correct the numbers, if I got them wrong - I haven't played in a while)

A fully equipped character takes at at least 12 items, so your 600 works out to 50 sets about 6 per character.

If you multi-role, if you PvE and PvP, then four of those 6 are immediately gone. If you have other set combinations, often required for various roles to adjust for your group or the content you intend to do, then that safely eliminates the remaining two. Want to try a new build? You now get to determine which currently viable combination you get to decon to allow that to happen.

All of this doesn't factor in different pieces with different enchants, it doesn't factor in transmute geodes and coffers. I'm fairly certain no one wants to purge 100 stones simply to make space for more items, because there's a time sync involved in getting those too.

That leaves you minimal space for potions, food, housing items that are not placed, among other things. Heaven forbid you find a well traited item from set A on a character that is only needing items from set G, because then you get to go through the whole rearrangement process in order to shuffle the sets where they need to go.

If you only ever do one thing in one role per character, then it's probably not an issue. If you have alts that are strictly mules, it's probably not an issue.

If you actually play each character you have and you do more than a single type of content, the large amount of space quickly becomes a lot smaller. If you don't do more than one thing per character, then it's simply a different limit imposed by the game.

Again, there is value to what some call 'hoarding' because sets change often, and time and gold mats invested will never recover even a fraction of the value involved. If one could resell to other players, it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

If 80% or better of the sets worth having weren't bind on pickup, and thus purchasable like some are recommending, it wouldn't be as big of deal.

Since neither is the case, it's a gamble.

I'll live with borderline zero space far longer than I'll commit to regrinding sets I've already found in perfect trait and golded out because I've already been burned too many times.

Stop hoarding every damn thing

My problem is, though, that the more space they give me, the more I hoard so that the space is never enough.

but.. but... they need to sell more eso+ subscription + bank upgrade in crown store so it wont happen

If they increase space of the housing interactable coffers I'd be happy. These coffers was a good idea to increase the overall item limit, I like that it needs some work on players' side, not just - give me this, give me that. We should work on these extra features.

This is why the game needs manniquins with a single button equipment swap. Wear what you want the manniquin to store, or store a set in the manniquin manually, then when you activate it, it takes what you have on and swaps it piece-for-piece with what the manniquin has.

Have all bank, housing storage and 15 toons bag space maxed XD. Need more space to hold all those now useless gold sets and trial items you never know if you will need as a result of some future patch... *cough* Advancing Yokeda *cough*

Some time ago I have made some calculations and counted how many actual crafting materials there are in game.
Assuming if you will only keep 1 stack of top tier crafting materials, motif materials, trait materials and upgrade materials you will have something about 234 slots needed to keep all of those. That is almost full bank space - 240 slots.

Add + 2 slots as Murkmire DLC introduced 2 new crafting styles - that use another style materials.

So we have something like 236 of 240 bank space. Currently - if you want to keep crafting materials to do crafting writs on multiple characters without ESO+ crafting bag - it is still possible. But 2 - 3 more DLC and it might change.

Bank space imho simply requires an "update". 240 slots were fine in the past - but as we got more & more content (DLCs & Chapters) - 240 slots will soon be obsolete.

Best solution would be to simply allow us to upgrade bank further than 240 (move the cap higher). For gold, Writ Vouchers, Tel Var stones etc. Also it is a win-win situation as ESO+ users will get double of that.

I have a (pre Murkmire) spreadsheet for this! Actually wanted a full count of mats (raw, refined, style, special gold or other mats, food, bait) and it's actually 72 raw, 325 in refined/useable state, of which 14raw+65 are ONLY style mats (like coarse chalk or daedra hearts), for a total 397 items plus whatever Murkmire added.

If you only keep 10 main racial styles and the mats in your level (no iron or maple, etc) then you only need to maintain 210 items so I guess it's theoretically possible to stay alive with just the max bank slots but wow that would be hard.

"60" was not one of the numbers that I sought confirmation on.

Ok, I accept your adjustment to 50 sets. This is still based on not having ESO+.
You justify your requirement for more space, then I suggest that you subscribe to ESO+ to resolve your problem.

You're failing to grasp that you and other players like you, are the ones that ZOS would like to have spending more money with them. If you'd rather not spend the money, that's OJK. Just stop whingeing about it.

I buy DLCs & Chapters and various stuff from crown store (mounts, apparel, etc.) I don't want to be forced to use subscription model just to do basic stuff like inventory management.

Keep in mind - ESO DROPPED subscription model and went to buy-2-play model just to stay alive. By forcing another form of subscription that way (must have or basic stuff will be a mini - game) they are risking losing players & potential money those players can provide.
Also people often forget that it is not a matter of how much money do players have. Often this is simply a matter of personal preferences (thanks to early access model in the game industry & releasing unfinished games). People are simply more cautious what they buy and like to pay exactly for one thing rather that paying upfront for a monthly subscription.
