What else can I say? I'm one of those envied wealthy players. LOL. I like my armors ascended and dyed expensively (although depending on the selected skin tone. Usually Afro-Carribbean or of some Nubian Ebony.) As long I earn it the fair way, and even help friends and guild-mates out when in need of some gold, then I can be and do what I want. Hey in person, I'm not vain, just good looking.

If a "certain" player has is 100k in storage or barely even 3k after buying 1 set of basic maxed armor from the Consolute Docks with barely any insignias to afford, I guess I can understand.

However, GW has a extremely huge population of player who market to do more than just fill up on 1000k just for the storage to look nice, pretty and full.

I kinda do have it all, but does that mean you think Anet is wasting their time making the new 40 armor sets for Eye of The North because everyone should be limited to just 2 sets of armor?

Ditto.

However, I don't see why they wouldn't make a "if you buy EotN, you get more storage" thing like they did with Factions.

"Assuming" what Exoudeous said has any validity to it, then they'll get money from EotN and be able to upgrade storage space for those who bought it. That's assuming ANet really is having issues with money and allocating memory on their servers.

I hope that wasn't an attempt to imply things which are not true. There is no shame in not being a sad case who farms all the time, I make money when I need it and have plenty of ascended armor *points to his own well dressed assassin* , I just think wealth of skill is greater than looks.

I heard the muling has becomea very glitchy process. For ex: I give my mule assassin my ranger armor cause I just can't fit anymore stuff. So after I decide to return the armor from my mule to the original owner, suddenly the ranger becomes incapable of wearing it.

I've been hearing odd complaints about the muling, which got be skeptic to even try buying a character slot for muling purposes.

Oh, I implied it. If you are happy with what you do, then what's so sad about it? With me, I don't need to exactly farm all day if I strategize wisely which would allow me to actually "prove" I got the ascended armors to show it.

If storage is THAT much of an issue for you and you don't want to utilize heros in that way, then don't complain about it.

What if we do not want to store weapons and offhands but runes, materials, holiday items and the like?

Shuuda · Mar 30, 2007, 07:57 AM // 07:57

Ascended armors don't "prove" anthing, only that you happened to have the money for, it is no proof of skill or how you earnt that money.

On the issue of storage, I'd like to see an extra storage section for weapons, or misc holiday/quest/ usless items. at least it would be a bit more organised.

Ascended armor can indicate that the player just likes to be a bit high maintainence, which there's nothing wrong about it. However, it has slightly become a symbol of envied accomplishments, usually by those who keeps making the skill vs. looks comparision.

Not only does Anet needs storage for the regular armor pieces, but for those darn festivities. Then again, you kinda do have a storage for the hats. Just a weird deposit and/or withdrawl for 10g. Although, those fireworks, candycanes, tonics and such, geez.

Surena · Mar 30, 2007, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Learn to manage your storage. Having many armour sets doesn't justify more storage space. You can't have everything so pick the most beautiful, most needed.

MirageMaster · Mar 30, 2007, 08:04 AM // 08:04

*Sigh* i would like storage like in Morrowind.You can leave stuff anywhere and pplace it the way you want it.Damn it was nice to see shields and swords on my bed and coins on the table.It was nie to have your own room and actualy put wood and candles anywhere you wanted.Wish it would be like this in guild hall.

Phantom Flux · Mar 30, 2007, 08:11 AM // 08:11

Maybe Anet should create: The GW Closet! Everyone in a guild gets some sort of personally huge closet (The Isles are huge enough), aside from the Xunlai (That's kinda like a bank account). And whenever that guildie either leavers or is booted a GW U Haul truck waits right for them in the nearest town. That or the Guildleader/officer could take that ex-members stuff and throw it into the streets of Kaineng as if someone dumped his/her fiance and through their crap right out the window.

LMAO!!! That would be the best. GW is kinda like a Fantasy Sims. I can see it now. "Get your **** and go!" A GW U-Haul truck awaits for me in Kamadan after I leave my guild.

/signed obviously

It's really unbelievable that the most requested and needed feature isn't 'high on the list'. We know that because there are lots of other less important things that devs say will be done some time in the future, but not about storage. They didn't say they 'are working on it' or 'plan to do something about it', nothing like that.

And with every campagin, update or event bringing lots of new cool things to collect it's needed more and more. The incoming GW:EN expansion with loads of new armors and phat lo0t could be a perfect moment to release a major storage update, and even make it an additional reason for everyone to buy it.

There are so many ways to do such an update and just anything would be good, although something massive is really needed, now and for the future of the game.

Why shouldn't it be a justification? Would all those special event stuff justify? Would all the greens justify? Would all the collectibles justify? Just because you don't want to keep most of your stuff doesn't mean everyone shouldn't. If ever they increase storage, feel free to ignore the extra space and just let us use them.

Shuuda · Mar 30, 2007, 11:24 AM // 11:24

Well, like I said before posts got deleted, Maybe they could add extra storage in the guild hall, as a service, that storage can only be accessed using the agent at you GH. (Just a quick idea)

As if that matters so us mesmers. Looks can/do kill

Shuuda · Mar 30, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

In theory, looks and skill go hand in hand, if your skillful, you should have earnt that armor, but the other ways around hard work is what ruins that perfecr theory.

Back on topic: I think they should make it so you can access storage on the character select screen, and the invetories of your characters, this could make trading between your own characters easier, because instead of,

open character A > put item in storage > Close character A > Open character B > Take item out of storage.

It would be.

Open character select > Open Invetories for characters A and B > Move item from character A to B.

Slightly shorter, sorry if it's a bit hard to vision.

Onarik Amrak · Mar 30, 2007, 11:50 AM // 11:50

It's a story of escalation. No matter how much storage you have someone will always fill it up and ask for more. In the end people will be asking for a special portal that opens into another world or pocket dimension so you can pollute that realm with your garbage.

Shuuda · Mar 30, 2007, 11:55 AM // 11:55

That is true, and there does have to be a limit to the amount you can store, but lots feel that the current limit is just to small.

Yawgmoth · Mar 30, 2007, 01:49 PM // 13:49

The amount of storage we have now got designed over 2 years ago. Even during the first months since Prophecies release people were asking for more, because its too small.

It was barely enough for 1 chapter of stuff and that doesn't include the loads of stuff that got added to the game later, like Keys, Scrolls, Green items, Event items, Miniatures, and then 2 whole campagins with tons of armors and new cool skins, Nightfall gave us inscriptions (which take horrendous amounts of storage), also new gemstones, and last months brought us another 10+ kinds of event items. And even more good stuff is coming in GW:EN, but we don't hear about a storage update being in the works.

We have basically the same storage space as on Day 1, excluding the material storage addition, which i consider a minor update (although very useful) because it free'd only about 10-13 slots for me. Something must be done, and GW:EN is the last moment for it.
