the only thing im hating about this game is the inventory. i mean by design i have to have mule alts...come on really? its just a waste of my time and efforts to do this when so many games have done it better to this point.
They need to create bags for our materials. Enchanting bags, provisioning etc. That would really get rid of a lot of the clutter honestly and it's a simple fix.
i dont mind the shared bank, but this is the forst game with shared bank that didnt give us a seperate tab for resourced so crafting materials didnt take up space in it. yes you can store materials on alts and move it out but then when i want to craft i have to log in to those alts and get materials and then when done log in again and move stuff back..just a huge waste of my time when there are better systems out there
That won't work so well, the major problem is the shared bank. There is enough space for a single character doing all professions, it gets real bad when you have multiple characters at different skill levels trying to level simultaneously. If you add bags for mats, then you wouldn't need such a large bank since the bags won't be accessible to the other characters, if you are shrinking the bank, you might as well have part not being shared. Really at that point, why have a shared bank? They did the shared bank on purpose, I assume to reduce having to mail items from character to character. I suspect part of this inventory management is a nod back to the original genre where bag maintenance was a must.
So yes, the bags would 'fix' the problem you perceive, but doing so would break what they are trying to do, inventory management, meanwhile curtailing what the shared bank was intended for causing the point of the bank to be mute, at which point you might as well just make the bank not shared in the first place.
Well, seeing that the mail system is tied to account rather than character they had to make the bank shared, otherwise you wouldn't be able to transfer any items at all between your own characters. I don't see any problem with sharing the bank anyway, would just wish for the upgrades being a bit cheaper, or maybe giving more storage room. The bags however sound like an elegant idea; perhaps we'll see something like that in the future.
