The new content is great and all, but how about making it possible to hide the extra tabs in case we dont plan on buying them?

At the moment tabs number V to VIII are greyed out (marked as unacessable), and clutter the storage menu..

Almost like Anet is rubbing it in our faces.. buy the extra storage..buy it...hypnotizing us to highlight those little storage panels :O

Hey Mallyx [icU]

you will never use the lower tabs unless you buy them. therefore, there isn't really any clutter. You only use the top storage tabs.
top row you use.
bottom row you don't.

it's sorted very nicely

I suppose i can agree with you, but still, the fact that they keep the panes greyed out as if tantalizing us into buying them all...I guess il always look at the storage and feel like something is missing...guess il have to get used to it.

That's what they want you to think. Consider it a subtle form of ingame advertising.

That's exactly what it is. Everything they added is OUT THERE in your face taunting you to buy it. The random characters at the login screen was there to make you go "hey, maybe this char would look better with that hairdo, or that skin tone", and go spend the money to make it that way.

Sorry Anet, we see through the charade. Charge what you want, it's your game, but don't be so obvious about the subliminal subconscious pushes towards it.

I don't know what your definition of clutter is, but for me it's things that have no use being visible and in the way. Certainly tabs that can't be clicked for storage panes you haven't purchased nor want to purchase falls under that category. Please stop acting as an apologist for everything Anet does. Anet screwed up on this one. If you don't buy the panes, hide them.

I mean, if you only have Prophecies, you don't see storage panes 3 and 4 for having the other campaigns as a sort of subtle advertising. Anet just plain screwed up.

I totally called this.

What's even better is there's this huge gap between your last actual storage and the anniversary storage.

For USD9.90 we will hide the extra tabs for you so it won't annoy the hell out of you that you are not using it.

I would prefer not being able to see those tabs at all if I didn't own any.

Next year:
Change "extra tabs" for "commercials"
