Do you guys think zenimax should give us more bank/inventory space?

With the new chapter coming up I'm stressing about all the sets that I want but wont be able to hold onto due to lack of space. I dont care if they add in more space buyable through crowns,more housing chest, or increasing the caps of the bank and chest.

    they won't because they want you to pay for sub in order for your inventory management experience to not be horrible. Which is dumb because new players will experience the horrible inventory management and quit the game when they find out they need to pay 15 dollars a month to do something about it.

    Not really.

    A. They already added Bank space to ESO+. The Crafting Bag is ESO+.

    B. You can get up to 200 slots per character, up to 15 characters right now. Plus an additional 360 account wide slots from Housing chests if you own them all. You can buy houses to store excess furnishings.

    There's plenty of opportunity for you to spend crowns or money to increase your inventory. If you haven't maxed out the current in game opportunities, that's money left on the table for ZOS.

    I could see ZOS deciding to add another couple storage chests if they add anything or simply continue to add more character slots.

    No, this doesnt keep pace with the hoarding tendencies of players. That's not a problem for ZOS. See, the more inventory management problems players have, the more likely they are to spend time, gold, crowns, or money to fix that problem - and I'd guess that the vast majority of players are not at the absolutely max of their available inventory.

    I voted no because I am already a terrible hoarder!

    I have ESO+, all space available via bank/inventory/storage chests, several "extra" characters that store specific types of items and multiple unfurnished homes that act as garages.....

    I still often struggle for space, I really don't need the ability to hoard more stuff.

    I'm one of those people that still has gear stored that is BoE when it was changed to BoP years ago! >:)

    There is a lot of armor. You've got two options.

    1. Hoard everything in the hopes that it will eventually become meta. Pay for that storage space with gold, crowns, or money.

    2. Keep only the pieces you think you need, and grind for armor as you need it - spending the time playing the game in order to get what you want.

    Either way, you pay ZOS in time spent playing their game or they get your money directly. This is working as intended.

    I'm capped out lol all my toons have 200 inventory and my bank is capped ontop of all the housing chest and I have eso plus as well been playing since launch. I lick up all sets because there is no telling what they might change and make OP.

    Already have 480 max bank space, along with 200 inventory on all 15 chars and still have troubles managing everything packratting as well too though but they should just make same exact items be stackable like consumeables tbh.

    well for those of us that are fortunate at this point ESO is a hobby its the only game I play so I dont mind putting money and time into it. I just think we should get more invetory space with each chapter upgrade with all the new sets and items they bring into the game.

    yes this would help out alot. I have alot of the same monster sets in different traits because I frequent PvE and PvP. I was hoping they would make their banking systems cleaner as well like folders or tabs that we can customize to have PvE sets in one or PvP in the other, but im assuming thats what the housing chest are for.

    I bought extra accounts when they were cheap to form my own guild just for the bank... I think I am officially a pack rat. “Sure, this set is trash NOW, but they may change it”.

    It should be increased by 10 each chapter, at a minimum. Those 10 bank spaces should come free with purchase of the chapter.

    Yes because they keep adding more *** to the game. Or at least start letting more things be stacked. Like why can't I have the same treasure map twice in my inventory? I can have multiple surveys of the same thing stacked but not treasure maps?

      I would appreciate 300 for bag and 300 for bank.

      But I’m getting by currently, would be a good QoL change though. The goodwill would likely help sales imo.

      Life is about choices. You can choose not to be a packrat and consolidate. Or buy more space with what you earn in game.

      When people hoard crap in real life the government doesn't just give away free house upgrades so you can collect more stuff. Quit begging for free stuff and go earn your space if that is what you want. Because you don't NEED it.

      I do not see you explaining your opinion.

      As for me. I think the next increase in storage should be an armory that can hold all our bound armor. Of course this type of thing is likely to be an ESO+ perk.

      The second thing that should happen, and this should be for everyone. A furnishings bag that holds all our bound furniture. This should be a no brainer since even non-subs have homes and sometimes buy crown store furnishings. If someone's storage is burgeoning and they see a furniture pack in the crown store they are less likely to buy it. This probably costs Zos money.

      Where is the other option?

      As for buying it, just go to Steam, pick up another copy of ESO for $12 and bang, 8 new character slots for you for $12. :)

      No, because:
      1. What we have now is more than enough. You need to stop hoarding and learn how to make choices.
      2. Increasing inventory/bank capacity will overload the servers even more. The same goes for armour/furniture bag, it's simply not technically possible without crashing the game completely. Watch the latest ESO Live stream, they have explained why they can't do it.

      Yes, because if you count all crafting items types that are in the game you will have something like 600+
      When Summerset released, I actually counted how many items there are, so if you will only decided to keep 1 stack of top tier crafting materials + motif materials, At the time when Summerset released it was something like 238 items / out of 240 bank space.

      Since it was long time ago and we had like at lest 8 - 10 new motif materials (or more) since then, it is most likely more than the maxed normal bank space right now.
      Add to it the fact that we will have some new crafting mats with Elsweyr and every other future DLC & Chapter and you will get a problem that will be only getting bigger as the time passes.

      Yes, yes, and one more time yes. I'm also have fully maxed inventory with 200 slots at 15 chars, 480 as bank + all storage chests + 2nd account with 14 chars and personal guild bank. And yep, i spent about 4 hours per week to manage my inventory space, cause i'm doing crafting dailies at my main acc, that's why i also must have about 60 free slots per char just for dailies for 1 week. Ofc some people said that you just need to throw out useless items, but what useless items? Gold jewelry? Or maybe masters, maelstrom, asylum etc weapons that i don't want to get for second time? Or maybe deconstruct golden gear from previous patches? Or just sale monster helmets and shoudlers, gear and weapons from trials, dungeons and other BoP things that i'm using from patch to patch? And btw every char uses about 20-30 slots just for food, drinks, potions, potions and poisons for dailies, food and drinks for dailies (cause you spent less time when it's ready at every char), soul gems, lockpicks etc. I saw at one of comments that increasing of space will overload servers... So maybe we don't need more sets, style items and other s**t that comes to us every patch and needs more and more space, even with craft bag and eso+? Or we need to "vanish" some old sets, crafting stations, maybe even some materials and ingredients for craft? I don't know, but seems the most simple way for users is increasing of bank and inventory space.

      Its not about hoarding. it's about the time you have to spend managing your stuff in the game because the game keeps giving you so much stuff. Let the dang craftbag be included so people can stop wasting time cleaning the crap out of their inventory and play the game.
