Suggestions & Ideas / Bank expansion
« on: October 29, 2017, 11:31:36 am »
I'm going to suggest it yet again. We get new items every update, they may not be much but the urgency for more space is rising. There's been talk about how exactly we'd want the expansion to be done. I honestly don't think it would matter much so long as we get some more space. It has just been delaying the process.
That being said, I do have a way I'd prefer. We've talked about having a second bank account before. I think that would be the way to go. It would mean the interface doesn't need to be changed, there'd be no lagg caused by loading an extra 10 tabs worth of items and it would be purely optional. It would allow people to also keep loot tabs without having to remove things from their bank, as they could just move it to the second bank or keep the tab there.
The amount of items we've got with the last 10 updates:
To give you a bit of a picture as to why we need more bank space.
The amount of items we get per update varies quite a lot. We've had several updates introducing 0 new items. We've also had updates that introduced a lot of items, clue scrolls for example introduced a total of 174 items on their initial release. Granted, updates containing a lot of items are not very common. In the long term we are going to need more bank space, it'd be quite convenient to get it as soon as possible.
But you could just stop collecting useless garbage
This is a valid counterargument, one could indeed throw out everything that is useless and save a ton of bank space. You'll definitely have enough bank space if you throw out all cosmetics, not best in slot gear and skilling items. You'll easily keep multiple tabs of your bank completely empty.
However, there are reasons players might consider keeping items that aren't exactly useful. Some people enjoy collecting sets of loot. Pkers might keep gear around that isn't exactly best in slot. People that do lots of PvMing might have some loot in their bank. There are plenty of reasons why someone's bank would end up full. It's most definitely a choice, and I think people should be able to make the choice to collect stuff and not be inconvenienced by having to use two accounts to bank.
