You may all recall sometime back when Cullen Lee was on ESO Live and spoke about the ongoing community request to add a furniture storage bag. At the time he made the valid point that furniture has a lot more variables attached to it and also there are a lot more furniture items than crafting items.
OK, fair enough, but this doesn't address the issue and frankly is a poor answer. Its a bit like telling somebody that's asking for spare change that you cant afford to give them a $1000!
ZOS tend to use this logic a lot. "Because the problem is complex, we wont offer alternative solutions!". We have seen this approach now time and again.
On the issue of furniture storage specifically, I accept that it would be difficult to give us unlimited storage system like the craft bag but why does this always seem to justify not doing ANYTHING to ameliorate an issue??! Why does it not seem to occur to ZOS to say OK, we cant give you unlimited storage but we could introduce a new type of furniture container that stored, lets say, 1000 items that stack?!
If its feasible to give us a house that can store 700 items, 100 trophies and 10 or 20 collectibles, it must be way easier to create a furniture chest that could store 1000 items. This storage woudnt need to remember positions or have to calculate interactions so I see no reason why it couldn't be done.
Frankly, I'm suspicious that they don't do it because they want people to buy 700 item homes just to use as furniture storage.
I really feel we deserve a better response on this issue. I know for a lot of people I speak with, storage is now the major factor discouraging them from buying anymore items. They just don't have anywhere to put it!
