YES!!!

Yes, ZoS should increase max inventory and bank space

I think once a year, with each chapter for example, we should be able to buy more inventory and bank space. Especially considering the amount of sets there are

Sure, I'd use it.

Will they?

No. Its deliberately capped to create inventory management issues that encourage people to sub for ESO+ for the Craft Bag and extra bank space.

Take off your tin foil hat. Craftbag were not always there. The bank cap didn't force you into subbing because even subbed you still had the very same limit as before.

Craftbag came to be -exactly- to solve the issues people already had since the very first day, two years prior to craftbag being a thing. It only came for those with subs, but that's another convo. They didn't create an issue twonoblt solve it with cash two years later. They HAD an issue and figured out how to solve it 2 years later, and catered to loyal paying costumers. (Not me, exchange rate makes it prohibitive).

Besides... You can store so many things in your house now, so it's fine. Just gotta invest in crafting, which is something everyone should do anyways

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.

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

Feel free to disregard that line and read the rest then.

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 OK. Just stop whingeing about it.

What you're failing to grasp is many players have been subbed since beta, like myself, and inventory management is still be an issue, if for no other reason than the necessity to move gear around.

Not everyone has the 360 storage coffers slots. Not everyone is going to re-farm old gear every single patch because they opt to change things, not when some purchased items may be in excess of 250k gold, 40k+ gold mats per, or an unfathomable amount of time involved.

New sets are introduced every single patch. Inventory size remains the same. Other new items are introduced every single patch. Inventory size remains the same. Ask the average tank how many set combos they have to keep on hand. Same for healers.

Again, if you do more than one thing on more than one character, then you are aware, even with ESO+, this is an issue, if for no other reason than the time required.

You shouldn't be required to essentially grind your game to a halt periodically to sort through every thing that gets picked up, whether for decon, vendor, or actual use. Having to nuke viable sets because ZoS changes things, only later to change them back doesn't inspire continued gameplay. Lack of continued gameplay leads to less income, not more, so your argument backfires on itself.

@lordrichter 's got one of the right ideas with mannequins. It's asinine that you can have a manor that holds 700 housing items, none of which effectively simplify set inventory. It's asinine that items can not be exchanged, one for one without first having an empty space with which to do the conversion.There shouldn't need to be the duplicate set items, unless there is a trait or enchantment difference. This single change would eliminate up to 80% or more of inventory issues.

There are a dozen QoL improvements they could implement that would better the entire system without having to adjust capacity one single bit.

So, Andro, don't make assumptions, especially after self-proclaiming having not been here. Know what you're talking about first, then you can tell people to stop whining.

Yes, ZoS should increase max inventory and bank space

I've been a hoarder since day 1 when i started playing Oblivion. The strictly limited inventory in ESO as opposed to the stand-alone games was probably the biggest adjustment i had to make when i started playing. But that said, even if it wasn't the case for me, the point made above about the ever-increasing number of items being added to the game with each major update and/or DLC more than justifies the need for increasing the inventory in all areas of the game, bank, personal, and even the furnishing chests.

And in a similar manner, the the size of the quest journal really must be increased as well. Once again, each update/DLC adds another batch of quests, especially dailies. In my opinion, when I started playing over 2 and a half years ago, the journal was already way too small, and the amount of content it's expected to deal with has continued to increase the entire time i've been playing. I'm not sure if it should be an eso+ perk or crown-based, but as long as it was reasonable, I would certainly pay crowns for a journal increase.

While I am staunchly opposed to the infinite bank space some propose, I would like to see the ceiling on bank space raised. When you introduce more sets, it seems appropriate. And I'm fine with dropping 6 figures in gold for it, too.

In terms of furniture, why don't you just buy a cheap house and stuff it with furniture you are not using?

tombarek · October 2018

We just need bag for bound armor, weapon and jewerly working like craft bag - with this armor managment be very easy (You dont need go to house or relog on mule to take 1 piece of armor) and You dont need soo many space in your bank. Many ppl more Buy ESO Plus for this too
