No, I don't feel limited. I'm working towards an equipment bag, which, along with the free tab, will solve all my storage problems. Even the 2.5K bags saved me a whole tab across characters.

For this project you will need:

*Paper
*Scissors
*Scotch tape
*Measuring tape or ruler
*Pencil or pen

1. Take your ruler or measuring tape and place it on your screen and record the measurements of the visible storage tabs you don't have/want.
2. Use the measurements to draw a rectangle of the same size on your paper, and cut it out with your scissors.
3. Take your strip of paper and place it on the screen blocking the storage tabs. Affix your paper strip to your screen with scotch tape.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 if you move your storage window on screen or alter your resolution.

Enjoy!

Personally, I have no trouble ignoring those tabs because I don't need them. They're great advertising though.

Nope, not feeling limited at all. The small equipment pack is enough for now and I'm currently working on getting the heavy one.

How do you get the free storage pane anyway? Can't find any information about it!

Actually i agree that I would rather have them taken off. It seems a little pessimistic like saying that without paying the money we won't get the full experience - in regards to ANET saying, if we pay $10 for storage we get an extra tab...

I'm actually wondering if the design choice was like this because they didn't want to have empty space in place of the second row of tabs. Perhaps it's a little difficult to dynamically expand the storage window?

I'm annoyed because normally when swapping tabs I simply slide my mouse horizontally. Now whenever I go to material storage, it throws me off because I click a blanked-out tab.

It's probably just easier from a UI design point of view, not any conscious decision from Anet to subliminally advertise to you.

The disabled tabs are just a marketing ploy to get you feeling that your account is not complete. Its a cheap and cheesey thing to do on Anets part.

I personally DON'T want to see them when they're not available. Their ploy for temtping me outta my money isn't gonna work here.

Let's see.....I can buy a character slot, which comes with a 20-slot backpack and can easily get 2x 10-slot bags and a 5-slot pouch, for $9.99 or I can get one 20-slot tab for the same price? Great business sense, that anet. I suppose a fool and his money are soon parted though, right?

True dat. All the perks of added carrying storage, plus what you get in beating all 4 campaigns again far outweigh what the store has to offer and it's sad you can run around these boards to check how many people got suckered into buying this.

EDIT: Well take a look at the fools in this thread... http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10369504
