I don't enjoy clicking the boat repetitively, then switching districts, and finally taking the time to run to storage.
Virtual lethargy ftw.

/notsigned. Honestly, unless you absolutely love Vasburg Armory, and the few other towns like that, there is always a quick guildhop and if you're Han Solo, you should already know the best towns where the xunlai box and the merchant are buddies. A good idea, but it's going overboard.

Agreed with this. Although in some of the bigger towns *especially Gate of Torment* getting to the storage can be annoying, but its not a big deal.

Aw, Geez, I gotta run a virtual 100 yards to that merchant over there, and then back over to that Xunlai chest waaaaayyyy over there.
What's the use in making a town or outpost if you aren't going to move around in it? Honestly, why not just say "I want it now and I don't want to work too hard to get it"?
Why not put in a "use concise towns option": they could give you a personal little white booth where you could type /storage, /skills, /merchant and do all of your petty character maintenance, then rush back to the real work of killing virtual monsters. Older games had interfaces like that, where you went to a load in screen to do character maintenance. Many console games still do.
I think if you make a change to put in commands like that, you'd be missing the point of playing in a virtual world.
Personally, if they implement the original Idea, it wouldn't affect me, but I'd hope they would also put in code that rewards people who run by making lazy characters gain weight and get fat.
Now, you want to make this idea useful? Type /skills in a town, let me target the skills guy so I can find him easier, or ping the compass so I can get the right direction to go. I'll gladly run the whole 400 virtual yards.

Hi, I am an ideas guy and I have 1 important idea which involves storage.Idea #1-->Storage Accounts With Interest Rates. I am an economics teacher at a college which shall remain nameless and I would like to see APR (Average Percentage Rate) in my storage account. By using the compound interest formula (A=P(1+r/n)^nt) we can encourage players to invest their gold in their storage accounts and reward them at the same time. I have made a translation of the equation below.
A=amount after time t
P=principle amount (initial investment)
r=annual interest rate (as a decimal)
n=number of times the interest is compounded per year
t=number of years
Most players take a lot of time off playing Guild Wars because of school or jobs. Some just get bored and need a long break. What better way to welcome them back into the game than having a big surprise in their storage accounts.

Sounds like a nice idea, though please don't use bold for your entire post.

There are too many rich people that have quit the game already with like, 750k+ in storage, and they would be gaining interest even though they haven't played in a year. It would be much less money to go around to the rest of the community, and the economy would be ruined.
What we need is less gold in the player's pockets, and more into the environment. We need gold sinks, not methods to give players gold.

Actually, this is not the case. If the interest rate is proportioned as a small amount, you can control the earnings of individuals over time. Moreover, banks always change their rates weekly so that this does not happen. The in game GDP (Gross Domestic Product) would just have to be calculated weekly which it is already. NCSoft knows the in game GDP at all times because it is a controlled environment. Much like the United States Mixed Market economy except the government in Guild Wars does not exist allowing the players to be part a a Free Market Economy. In other words, NCSoft can program an equation for Guild Wars to run automatically every so often to change the APR (Average Percentage Rate). In conclusion, the interest rates obviously will not be fixed.

Though I don't really care if it's in or not. I usually have a town I like on every continent and just map there whenever I need to do any serious merching/salvage/inventory work.

I would LOVE this.
If I sumed up all the time I spent on running to storage to open it, it would certainly be *dozens of hours*. Seriously, I spend a huge lot of time trading, that requires a lot of district jumping and character swapping. And with every relog to a mule there comes the added time of running to storage with him.

Hi,
We currently have 4 tabs u can get max in ur storage space chest. I would like to see a way we can buy more of those slots. My preference would be unlimited, but even up to 10 tabs would be a HUGE improvement. I would like to see the ability to buy this with GW gold. Also maybe there's a way we can make the number of spaces bigger per tab.

Hi,
Corrently we have the ability to get 4 weapon options to switch easily. For armor however we don't have that choice. I would like to see that option 2 for armor. Also it shouldn't take up space in ur inventory when u switch the armor/weapons. It should all be "on" you already, without the need to hold them in ur bags/backpacks. The space u have is limited enough already, we shouldn't have to waste slots on things like this.

Nice idea with different sets.
Really silly idea them not taking up space though.

I'd have to agree.
I think the armor presets is a really good idea, but having them not take up inventory space doesn't make a lot of sense. And I'm saying this from the perspective of having one character with five armor sets with them at all times and very little inventory space becuase of it.

I would definately go for that

Maybe make another backpack that ONLY accepts x armor pieces. Nice idea otherwise.
Kyrein
yes for the armor swap, no for the not take up space
weapons take up space, why should it be different for armor?

Technically, you should know what armor set you are going to take before leaving your storage.
but /signed because my armors is taking too much space xD.

Nice idea. Maybe this could work aswell: One inventory slot per whole armor set( 5 pieces), and then just click on the set u need. Less work imo/

Hi,
What would be your reasons for it not to take up space? I just see u peeps don't agreeing with em, but i don't understand why? In my view it takes up a lotta space while ur inventory is VERY limited with capactity. Also in my statement i stated BOTHweapons and armor should not take up inventory space anymore ;o)

realism..........and making it fit with the rest of the game
nothing else takes up no space while unequipped, why should armor be different,seeing as it is the BIGGEST kind of items

if it has been posted i didn't see it when i searched for it. Also i don't have unlimited time to go through a zillion posts. I expect to be treated with respect and not be put down like this. Also, if it has been raised so many times, why don't we get more storage space?
And for the smart allic comment, wy don't u just spend more money, u should never try and control somebody elses wallet. It's none of ur business. I personally don't think it's wise to spend a lotta money on extra's if u have a wife and kid. Life is expensive enough. So please keep those kind of comments to urself. And ofcourse i know there is that option. i am trying to suggest an alternative way, which doesn't allow for just moths to be in my wallet ;o)
I like my wallter nice and fluffy with cash ;oP

In other games u can have multiple armor sets, u are wearing basically at the same time, without taking up inv space. Good example is diablo 2, one of the best games ever in my view ;o)
So i still vote no inventory space. WE need more space! ;oP

Players aren't meant to have the option of switching armor pieces in the middle of a fight. See PvP.
While this would be a nice option to have even in outposts, it's not that important or useful in the long run.

1) using the search or
2) combining all your ideas in one thread labeled "improvements to the storage system". Because IMO all these ideas are not "different idea/suggestions"
Okay ontopic:
1) buy an extra character slot
2) buy an extra account
3) Spend some gold ingame (really, what do you need more than 1 mill for??)
(this is my answer to ALL your threads, so t will save me time posting this in all four)
