Storage space is one of THE two major problems in GW (the other one being PUG formation). I really hope, Anet is aware by now that 99.9% of all players do consider it to be a huge problem and they will address it somehow... SOON.

Putting bags in storage? Genius!! Even if we could only put in 2 or 3 bags it would be a big help. I love this idea.

or they should just make the you can full up bags and put the m in storage couse there are about 20 slots in storage. = 20 bags = 20×10= 200 inventory items would be alot easyr

i will sign this under one conditon, the amount of bags to be put into the storage would be limited. Let me explain.
WHen we access our storage it would appear the same as always but for the addition of X slots somewhere on the storage menu that were made specifically for the storage of your bags. When put into storage you bags would function normally like they were in you regular inventory.
Now, here is why Anet did not allow such a large storage space to begin with. When the game first came out they said it was so small because they wanted to stop hoarders who could possibly cause economy shifts at any given time based on the current item fad (i.e. early days of Fellblades, etc.) and screw the economy. Now, granted they did screw there own economy once upon a time, however i believe they learned from that mistake. The other is that the game is free and that a large storage space would up the cost of their operating price, thus a possible monthly fee (I could pay the fee if it wasn't outrageous).
Also, whoever mentioned the bags into bags idea, hoarders are the reason it wasnt implemented and never will be. That idea has been mentioned lots of times over the days of the game.

Seeing how there are a bunch of crafting materials needed for 4 characters.. I think storing bags within your storage account is a critical fix that needs to be implemented ASAP
-- due to my 3 characters I have right now.. I am accumulating alot of crafting materials to create future armorsets.
Like:
Gliterring dust
Bone, Shell
Hides
Cloth
Scale
Iron
.. that's a lot of slots
-- And that's not counting the more advanced armor that needs fur, steel, charcoal etc.
I'm also starting to accumulate Dyes which I expect to sell in a bit..
Having a Mule is dumb... Game companies and players need to differentiate between a 'work around' and a 'fix' -- to me a "Mule" character is a work around, not a fix.
If ArenaNet or NCSoft's idea is to hope we buy multiple keys..this too isn't a fix 'cause you can't share storage amongst separate CD Keys [not that I know of at least]

In real life.. people have houses/apartments
In the military you have lockers/barracks
Human nature is to store and prepare for a rainy day

OK, storing for a rainy day is one thing, but I still cannot play my warrior in PvE instances without clearing out my inventory onto one character then filling my inventory with what is on my warrior. This only allows a minimum of space to pick things up. My income is down from when I used to pick up everything and sell it. I stand the chance of having to risk dropping one of my good PvP items in the hopes that I can pick up an unlock.
This is bull. The way A.Net designed this game, a fully built character needs this much crap. Why am I punished in PvE for playing my PvE character that happens to be PvP ready?
Here you go fully stocked warrior:

Customized items should not take up a slot. Makes it easy, doesnt encourage sellers, but does encourage gold sinks like armor and such, and makes customizing much more interesting.

but... there are reasons why this is not going to happen
1.
if people start stocking stuff for more or less apparent reason, it might influence the economy in a negative way.
2.
aNet is way to busy, working on chapter #3.
The devs will fix problems that have a negative effect on the balance of the game, but problems that are just annoying? Don't think so.
We should be so lucky to have toggleable capes, which took quite some time before it was implemented.

The problem with being able to un-equip full bags etc is that:
Assuming you can't put full bags into bag spaces (else you have an infinite storage space) You have still increased your storage by 10 times. The extra server capacity needed for this would be huge.
Its all sneaky ways of AN reducing costs.

this is one of the dumbest suggestions i have ever seen. hasnt anet ruined the game enough to shut noobs up? you should get limited slots so you will sell your items and not sell them for way more than they are worth...because everyone will start selling them super high and then you would be complaining about prices.

I know we dont pay a monthly fee, which is awesome. I would not mind paying one time fee for a bigger storage, similar to what is being considered to add additional slots, just to make easier. (hate logging in and out of my mule)

Here is my take on the storage thing:
the first character pays the gold to setup the storage yet for every character afterwards you pay again the same price to access the same storage as the first character without any increase for storage. so for this issue either drop the cost after the initial setup or increase the storage.
Here is what would better to do for storage.
500G to setup a 50 slot storage initially.
100G to add 10 slots for every character afterwards.
so with 6 characters with the Prophecy/Faction accounts that would make a grand total of 100 slots or 80 for Prophecy only accounts.
And here is something I would like to add which would help out in Guild support.
Add a Parcel Package Pickup like storage. This storage is for Guild Members passing needed items to other Guild memebrs of the same Guild/Alliance. One would go to their Guild Hall and locate the PPA(Parcel Package Agent) and select an option to drop a package to another guild member and select their name then place the items into a 5 slot parcel window. This then would trigger a notice upon login of the other Member that they have a Parcel Pickup at the Guild's PPA. There would be time limit for how long the item(s) can stay in the pickup area. That would be 30 days afterwhich the item would be dropped or redirected back to the initiator. Or with another feature mention here at the site, have the item place in the Guild Vault were the Leader/Owners can only get it out.
I really hope this idea could work out, this issue really needs to be addressed.

remember I'm stating we pay to use the same space on all our character, either drop the cost after the first character creates the storage or increase storage as the other characters pay to use what has been paid for already.
It's kind of like having everybody in the house pay the same mortgage to live the the same house that the head of the house has already paid for to start with. That's how I see the current storage working.

I don't believe that all 20 spaces should ever be able to hold full bags. Someone suggested the idea of Anet changing the status of a limited amount of slots to be able to hold full bags. I think that is the best idea I have seen in this thread. If 1 row of storage could be converted to be able to hold random items OR a full bag. That would be 4 spaces for bags!!! I would be completely happy with that! More would be stupid and excessive, and would only promote hoarding. This just gives us the ability to go into explorable areas with completely empty inventory. It has been so long since I could do that.

though to be honest i really dont care what solution Anet uses as long as something is done.
What use are the new additional character slots going to be if we still have the same piddly storage space for even more character's stuff. I'm certainly not paying £5 for a character slot just to be creating a mule.

i agree about running out of space and i only have 2 characters. with the addition of factions and the ability to have 6 characters this problem gets even worse. how about the merchant selling an item that lets you take your bags from 10-15 item slots? that could potentially add 10 slots per character.

I see lots of good suggestions. I also hear nothing from A.Net.
What will it take for A.Net to finish creating this great game?
I think they have taken the chicken way out. They are happy as long as they keep selling new accounts. Too bad those new accounts fill up and people get pissed.
For the record: Gaile Gray responded to my questions about storage during the Christmas Event. She said that the storage issues would be addressed. I call BS. This is only one of several thread about this issue and no PR representative has responded, or made the developers fix the problem.
I got swindled. I bought Factions thinking that A.Net would fix the storage. I was wrong.
