If housing storage chests would be visible by crafting stations - that is the only change that is needed.

Inventory is like traffic, it expands to fill the available volume.

Indeed it can be a lot like Traffic at times especially if you keep stuff in your inventories and then bank them and over time you add more and well need to clear out space to add in more. At times I would try and avoid it but it still happens and well that is because well always need more inventory space. But higher inventory space is easier to mange I think its just it will still fill up somehow.
All that junk have to grab from the mail in rewards to recon or sell and other stuff like that does help fill up inventory space.

My ideal storage solution would be that sets got stored as collectables. It's gear sets that take up most of my space due to my keeping things just incase they might become viable again.,

With constant nerfs to combat and gear, I think I no longer want to hoard new sets. But it would be huge "quality of life" change if we could have 1200 slots in bank (240 x 5 without subscription, 2400 with subscripion), for all the current gear and different items which can be useful for many characters.
Housing storage is very helpful, but it's much more convenient to have access to all items from bank, without need to visit house and search for items in storage chests.

For example, I have all my monster sets in bank. It's super convinient to have immediate access to any monster set in every weight and different traits from bank for any character. But in order to get more bank space for other items, I need to transfer some of monster sets to alts or in storage containers. And then it will be very annoying to find and retrieve particular monster set item
Same with potions and food - currently all my mag potions and food are on one magicka alt (whom I play at the moment). If I start playing other magicka alt, I often forget to transfer potions and food - resulting in unnecessary relogs. If I had more bank space, I could store many stacks of different potions and food in bank, available to any character of any spec at any time - without need to relog and transfer items.

I don't even talk about crafting materials, because I personally can't play without subscription and crafting bag... But simply having all gear options and variety of potions in bank would be much better that having everything scattered across storage containers and alts

At the moment, my hoarding status is not bad (see the amount of used/total space at the bottom):



But I can't put everything in bank for ultimate convenience, everything is scattered between bank/alts/storage. It's uncomfortable to play a character who has more than 50 inventory slots constantly occupied Even 1200 bank slots with subscription would be enough for me to organise gear perfectly and have all characters ready for adventure any time.

It's time to raise the limit anyway from time to time. A little bit anyway; I'm tired of deconstructing gold and trial equipment anytime a nerf hits only to potentially craft that stuff again at some later time. Same goes for monster sets; you can only add so many sets until any player eventually runs out of space.

We need a unlimited bank space for ESO+ members, because each expansion there will be new sets and new items in general. Deleting stuff you grinded for, is a tricky thing because most of the time you want to keep it but also want that new set for example. Having full space on all characters + the bank is going fast.

I like how I'm not the only one that has these types of inventory/bank issues come up. Guess a lot of us tend to fill up that inventory space and store things we don't need to store.

It is funny, because alot of pure f2p MMOS have limitless or atleast huge craft bag integreted for any player.

house storage boxes are very hard to get - real money or PvP stuff only.

I got my storage boxes by doing Master writs

It's an interesting though. Particularly because they keep releasing new dungeons/sets/etc so over time we would likely need additional space.

The game needs smart measures to retrieve stuff we obtained. Bring set vendors who resell each item we ever found. With that in place we could easily remove the sets we do not need yet and retrieve them whenever we find them appealing.

Hoarding is a must in this game with all the changes to items and sets while it is rather tedious to re-obtain items you deleted. And everything that was done to deal with hoarding just made the whole game experience worse. Additional characters you have to cycle through to find whatever you put on those mules is super annoying. Going storage box to storage box to find a weapon is super annoying. Going through the slowly accessible guild banks to find an item is super annoying.

A Destiny-like system to retrieve found items is in need. Upgrades to storage capacities on the other hand are just a super inconvenient money sink and cannot iron out the real issue with our need to store and retrieve items. A smart system needs to be installed instead.
