Btw mark my words... they will never EVER increase storage space because i would say 90% of extra character slots are purchased to be used as mules. |

i mean really people here think that anet has teh ability to press a button and add it. but nothing is close to being that simple. the whole game is structured to work a certain way. If its that easy, go to anets studios and program it in for them. |

All the people who complain about the cost of equiping heroes and the need to buy l337 sauce weapons for them can easily get buy without them in PvE.

You are right you dont need runes on heros. No one said you need them. You dont need them on your charcter either. You dont need high end weapons, You dont need high end armor. You dont need to finish the game. You don't need to go to UW/FOW. You dont need to even play the damn game. But some people want to play the game and equip heros with runes and insignias, and weapons. Apparently ANet also wanted us to do that because they made the armor with rune and insignia slots. But you know it was great of you to stop by and remind us that we dont need to do it. |

That is what ticks me off. I have no problem if you want to give Koss a gold fellblade because you think its cool. Just don't come on a forum and then complain about it when a collector machette works just as well. |

This isn't collect every single item in game. No game does that. The storage is plentiful. But no matter how big, it will grow too small if you fill it. So you have 7 armor sets. What happens when they add 10 more slots? You'll have 9 armor sets, and be without room again. |

now think about how many people play this game. multiply 3 million by say 1 MB for a save file. thats alot of freaking data. if they increased storage by a tiny amount then thats an exponential amount of more data they need to hold. they were able to add material storage because it wa done in such a way that it deostn take much more data. where as adding say 5 more inventory slots would take up more data cause they have to be able to hold any item in the game.. its not a conspiracy, go play other mmos and see, every mmo i have been on people complain about storage size. developers do that they can, but sometimes they can only do so much with the technology they have. that and tehy ahve to work with teh current game engine. they may have a better data method now but cant use it without rewriting the games code |
Point being ANET needs a majorly huge storage upgrade. Stop with these idiotic events and start working on something more constructive.

Shoot the major storage upgrade (especially for armor *coughs*) would just add on to the appeal.

2. No you are quite wrong about them doing anything they want. a game engine is like the law of the universe, and once that universe is up and running you cant just change anything you want on the fly if you could game companies would save money and not remake their game engines over and over. this is why they are doing guild wars 2, because there are changes that need to be made and they cant be done to this game. its easy to complain about something, but you really need to sit and think about it objectively and take your personal feelings out of it. You think they Can do it just cause you want them too. but i doubt you would actually be saying that if you worked on games and knew what it takes to do such things. its not pessimism, its called being realistic. pessimism would be "they wont upgrade cause they want more money from you, even though they could upgrade it easily" |

im not saying a dye tab is impossible, cause it is infact possible. but really how many people collect dyes? yes some do, but not alot. I recal people complaining material storage was useless too caue they dont store materials. and what would the point be of a une npc? that would jsut allow you to get 1 sup vigor rune and copy it endlessly, which would destroy the economy. armor tabs are quite a diffrent story casue my armor wil be diffrent from your armor. where as all materials are the same, which is why material storage works, it only records the number you have instead of having to remember what exact item it is. because each slot is a specific material. |

For all of you saying then don't make that much armor I assume you have no gripes about storage, and will not find you on the countless other threads making the argument for more. |

look if they could make extra storage and charge for it im sure they would, but they havent have they? your opinion is diffrent from what is the truth. the whole point here which no one seems to get is that just cause you think it is easy for them to change something about the game, doesnt mean it is, because you anrt the one that has to do it. look at how many time they chagned something in the game and something completly diffrent gets affected. imagine if they mess with storage and you lose something becaus it wasnt done perfectly. then you would complain about that too. |

remember material storage? originally that was only available if you bought factions, which meant they needed money to implemt it. something costing money is diffrent from them being able to, but not willing so they make money. im sure they could do alot more with the game, but they need to stay in budget. as i said hard to implent, i never said coding was the only part of it. |

No amount of screaming and flaming is gonna to convince Anet that player want and are willing to play for more storage slots. Its counter productive to do all this flaming of one anothe here on the forums. Anet does not see a problem with storage and I doubt they ever will. |

Whatever the reason, be it implementation costs, server load, or milking the character slots, it all boils down to money and cost. Resources.
Of course they can't come right out and say it, which is why there is never an explanation. That would be bad PR (or CR). You don't tell your customers that you refuse to do something because they don't have the money. After all, the customers are funding them. We'd look at 'em and go "Dowah!? What did you do with our money, then!?" Just a bad situation. Again, I have no qualms about this because it's normal business operandi. Perfectly understandable. The big question is, and you've brought this up, too, is why don't they add a more storage feature in the online store? That's the only thing I don't understand. |

But no I don't think A-Net will give us more storage..they haven't yet so why now? Maybe they will with GW2 but that would be kinda pointless since we have nothing anyways :\ |

What? So much has changed in the game, graphically and mechanically, but they can't add more storage because why? The engine doesn't support it?? How can that make any sense at all? Honestly, I can understand entirely about them not being able to "add a y-axis" or whatever, that's a game engine thing. Fine, perfectly understandable that it would just require wayyy too much of an overhaul. But a bigger storage box? Allow me to point you to another feature that is a bit limited, and could easily be extended, but it isn't. Maybe you can tell me why it would be so darn complicated to do with their code: The Party Search Feature. Why is it that limited in the number of characters you can type? Seriously, why? Surely you would agree that just about everyone would like the number of characters to be higher. Would make it a lot more useful. Why has it not been done? Think about it. Based on this astounding logic I have, I can only conclude that it must have something to do with server load. Plain and simple. Saying it's too hard to program is a nice way of saying the programmers are idiots. At least I'm not politely insulting the programmers. |
