    One thing that could be done to reduce the amount of stuff would be to increase the "stack" amount on some of the items like soul shards /pots etc from 200 to 999. doing this would not impact data load as its not adding another digit for items in the data base. this would open a few slots in all bags and banks.

    No - we have enough.
    Adding 20, 100, 500, 3000 slots to your inventory is not going to solve your issues (whatever those are). Sooner or later, you will hit the limit again. And ZOS will keep adding more junk to the game to help you reaching the new limit faster. In the end the only difference will be that the game will spend more time loading your always full inventory.

    Didn't think about getting space crafted! That idea is very cool. WOW had bag crafting. I am not big on housing or furniture so I will ask: are there ways to craft space for house. If not -> WHY NOT!? That is a great idea !

    No there isn't. I was kinda disappointed when I found out that 1) storage chests can only be purchased from NPC, 2) have only two designs (all 30-slot coffers look the same, all 60-slot chests look the same), and 3) their contents is shared between houses.

    I'd much prefer craftable chests, with appearance affected by type of wood or metal used, size/capacity based on amount of materials. Contents not shared, meaning if I place a chest in Ravenhurst, it's there and not in another house at the same time; and stuff put inside the chest can only be picked in Ravenhurst.

    Definitely need more space. It's hardly fun to play a game when you're constantly shuffling inventory.

    Yes - both bank/bag.
    I am a hoarder of epic proportions, and it always PAINS me when having to choose between one item or another. I love collecting gear sets, funny treasures (i.e. the Bejeweled Bedside Yam), and I even (proudly) still have a few old and useless ex-provisioning items lying around.

    But on a more serious note, this game is now 5 years old, meaning there are people (like myself) who have now been playing and gathering items for FIVE YEARS. And with a new chapter right around the corner, there will only be more shinies to collect!

    I am very appreciative of the ESO+ crafting bag - but as I gather/collect more and craft less, I personally would really love to expand my bank space. I refuse to make mules (been there, done that, hated it), and I would rather use Crowns on expanding storage rather than adding character slots.

    If there isn't a technical reason to limit bag/bank storage, I'd love an increase. I don't care if they keep the scaling cost (so that inventory over the current max is pretty pricey), but any extra space would be appreciated.

    It wouldn't surprise me if there is a technical restriction (similar to housing space, or I think they mentioned a limit in the craft bag).

    true...

    in the days before the great morrowind space in crease i didn't "take all loot" i would go through quickly and pick what i wanted and left the rest.

    now that i take all because i have so much space, i do SPEND the time saved at merchants and stations selling and deconning.

    They will never fix this while the craft bag is a huge reason many folks get or stay with ESO +.

    Improving stacking would be the biggest & easiest help though.

    When someone has multiple characters and need multiple sets for multiple different reasons for PVP/PVE, it starts becoming hard to organize. I am jealous PC has add ons that help organize this stuff. My inventory is a cluster F. I am starting to use my guild bank to store motifs/recipes/master writs because my bank is reserved for food, potions, sets and account bound things like surveys and scrolls.

    When I played wow, I had an add on and my stuff was super organized. On ESO console, my storage is a hot mess. I have bags and a bank and a guild bank and chests in my houses. I can never remember what stuff is where.

    Why do y'all have so much stuff?

    My craft bag is chock full of stuff I've collected and what I don't sell, I research and deconstruct.

    My bank is empty except for cash and a bunch of treasure maps and surveys.

    Oh! And I also keep excess rewards stuff I have no use for (consumables).

    Maybe I'm just not a hoarder.

    I even have a house with nothing but a bed and a couple of paintings.

    Got a craft bag full of stuff ;-) I am finding it odd you keep survey maps and treasure maps ;-) i use them straight away on an alt that has the level I want to get it on ;-) My bank keeps set items that are bound mainly monster sets. My guild banks have non-bound items and receipes/motifs, excess food/potions I do on crafter for all alts. My house bags are packed with housing items.... This can go on but we all have a ''system'' :smiley::wink:

    I can honestly say that I have never used a treasure map in the last 5 years nor have I ever had a monster set.

    That's probably because I haven't really done any group content.

    Of course it might also be 'cause I research and deconstructed everything.

    They already have that. It's called a subscription.

    They're not fools. Why would the sell an item for crowns on a one-time basis when they can just milk us subscribers for 15 bucks a month for the privilege?

    Yes, at least add a furniture bag for subscribers. They sell furniture for real money and I don't have room to purchase it unless I run to one of my houses and place it immediately. I'd like the option to be able to buy and then decorate when I have time (I have more money than time so crafting all my furniture takes time away from playing).

    I was willing to pony up real money for the Summerset furniture packs, but don't want to deal with them in inventory. So roughly $100 of sales ZOS hasn't gotten because of this problem.

    Got all the research done on my crafter. On alts only do occasional research.

    That is how the game is maintained and how we get new content ;-) If there is no money given there is noting coming back. Subscription only gives space for crafting materials and does not solve the set(inc. monster) / furnishing / food / potions / cyro items / ETC..... ETC..... :wink: We don't need much more... that 100 in bank would do I think or at least an additional house coffer. A lot of comments in the topic are exaggerated and need to be taken with a pinch of salt. The game has progressed a lot over the years but the bank / bag / mount space did not ;-) So there are more items in the game but no more space to store them.

    I understand why some people just take what they need cause they dont do group :) I completely get that! However some of us do. :wink::smiley: Votes on the first page show that majority participating in topic would like some sort of movement in that direction. Yes there are more pressing issues in game that require attention but it would be nice to get some sort of acknowledgement that it might happen :)

    Sorry to tag you guys but any chance for some talk on that? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom :smiley:

    The end game is inventory management!

    Yes - more bank space.
    I feel 200 slots per character is adequate for the necessities:
    * PvE set
    * Dungeon/Trial set
    * PvP set
    * Food/Drink

    Plus the additions you pick up that will eventual use:
    * Quest items
    * Surveys/Treasure maps
    * Motifs->storage
    * Misc Items->trader sale
    * Furnishings

    The inventory issue for me is having so many sets in this game that you think "yeah I might try that" and save some pieces, but we keep getting so much content thrown at us, it piles up quickly. It can be easily managed with time but sometimes, RL happens for a while... then you run out of space again because of goodies you get (like anniversary non-craftbag stuff) need a home while you figure out how best to use/sell them or for furnishings, store them.

    I won't complain that we don't have enough though, it's simply time consuming to manage with all the cool things we get and want to hold on to. A lot of my spaces are held in trust to share motifs/etc with friends/guildmates as well without a public storage.

    Need a furniture bag much like the crafting bag so we can access all the furniture while decorating a home.

    While I would like more bank and/or inventory space I know it would only bring a few days of happiness. Then those slots would all be filled and I would need more. Would never end and I would have to dig through more crap to find the one thing I want.

    Well without ESO+ and the godly craft bag you HAVE to use character mules, 440 slots is not even close to enough. If you dont have more character slots, then idk

    Edit: 200 bag slots, 240 bank slots. 440

    You need to use mules even with ESO+ and that's the point.

    I have suggested more than a few times an addition that would seem palatable to Zos. An armory.

    The Armory would/could hold any and all bound armor and weapons. A virtually bottomless bag like the crafting bag. Yes, it would be part of ESO plus which is why it seems to be a shoe in for them to give serious consideration.

    With that I have two suggestions for QoL,

    Put set names at the start of all pieces of gear. That is not consistent ATM. This should happen regardless.
    Permit us to group gear into bundles.

    Instead of ESO+ it should be native to the game, but offer a big advantage to being ESO+.

    I am merely be realistic. It is much more likely it would be part of ESO+.

    Now a furnishings bag should be base game because even non subscribers sometimes buy crown store furnishings. If all bound decorations not placed in a home were in this bottomless bag, not taking up inventory they would be less likely to hesitate purchasing new furnishings because they did not want to overwhelm their inventory.

    Now, if you could come up with logical reasoning to convince Zos the armory added to the base game would help drive up revenues then they may consider it. I edited out your argument because it contained no such points.

    2. 1 individual Gear Mule for each char

    Every character has a gear mule and Zos made access to this gear mules easier about 4 years ago.

    At launch we could train a mount a max of ~50x. We could choose to put all points into bag space. We could also buy a mount with a base of 10 slots bringing that total to 60. Zos made this better by allowing us to train mounts to max of all three areas so we did not have to choose.
