Why can't I improve items I'm currently using?

ArgonianAssassin✭✭✭✭why are you running around with full inv. I've got 110 slots and I only ever run around 50 of that. stop being a hoarder holy ***.
I have 112 slots + 100 slots in bank, they're all full of trophies, pets, crafting materials (high level, vet rank mats mind you), stuff that needs to be researched, etc. It's not that I'm hoarding it's just that I'm saving the unique items i'll never be able to get again, and saving mats for crafting new gear as I level up, and saving hard to find research items, like divines, so i can use them when I'm done researching my current traits, about 23 days left on them. . ."It is okay to fear the night, even the bravest warriors are filled with fright, at the sight of the might of Sithis' fang, let the blood be washed away by the rain, let the stains forever remain, another life taken in Sithis' name, another soul for the void.

The addon was made for the game, the game was not made for the addon. Which is why they have it the way they do so you don't destroy what you're wearing on accident. It's a very simple thought process.
Maybe not but it's a very useful addon that has no reason to not be built into the UI.

Yes, I run with about 100 full slots of inventory, there's no room for me to be taking things off without deleting or selling items I'm trying to save and with so much clutter it's hard to find the items I just had equipped.
So let's change game mechanics to account for your inability to manage inventory? How did you manage to craft the items in the first place? You had to have inventory slots to make them.

Well I crafted them at V4 and I'm V5 now so at the time when I did have space, but no game mechanics shouldn't be changed because I can't manage my inventory, which I can, and do I manage with only about 10 slots available on my person and my bank every other slot is full with trophies and toys and things that I will research when it's available, but no this is just a general QoL change that would not be hard to implement I don't see why you're so against it any reason that's been brought up against me I've easily countered, so what's your excuse?Catches_the_Sun wrote: »ArgonianAssassin wrote: »Catches_the_Sun wrote: »You're making way too big a deal over taking off your items to craft them.

Then you remember that in the time it took you to make that paragraph, you could have broken down some stuff you aren't using, or stashed some stuff, or vendor-ed off some junk, unequipped the items, upgraded them, and reequipped them. The point that I think most of us are trying to make is that you keep arguing "why can't I have it my way", when in reality, it isn't a big deal at all.0 -

You see I can't break down those items or vendor them because they're not junk, they're unique items like trophies from dungeons or hard to find items with hard to find traits and this is an all around crafter character carrying around heavy traits, medium traits, light traits, all 1h weapon traits and bow and staff traits and that takes up a lot of space. There's no reason to not be able to improve gear that's currently equipped.Then you remember that in the time it took you to make that paragraph, you could have broken down some stuff you aren't using, or stashed some stuff, or vendor-ed off some junk, unequipped the items, upgraded them, and reequipped them.

Then put stuff in the bank? I currently have 143 character spaces, 130 bank spaces. i craft every profession and never run out of room. As for trophies, make an alt just for them.0

You must've missed the part where I said my bank is full. I have 111 character slots and 100 bank slotsThen put stuff in the bank?

And you must have missed the spot where I said I had more space than that. Which you could then interpret as upgrade to make more room?0

My guess would be its done to save on programming, since the current system only has to factor in the changes the improvement would do to your inventory. Where as if it allowed you to improve your actual equipment, it would also have to make alterations to your character statistics.
May not sound like a big deal - but it would amount to a lot of extra programming for a very small convenience.
Either way, I don't see this as a big deal Argon. The real problem here is your inventory troubles - which I hope you find a way to fix ^^

Shiaxi✭✭✭well in the end it's a minor issue; if you can't manage your inventory / bank space I don't see why the devs need to change the game to suit specifically your needs; I don't mind the fact that I need to unequip my gear to improve it; in fact I like it; adds a layer of protection as said before and it's no great chore.0
