Just saw this in my email and haven't been home to log in and check - did they give us more storage?!
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

they added 40 additional slots to shared bank, buyable 10 at a time. I'll take what I can get!

Huh.

You'd think, with all the calls for more space across the many years, that there was some actual reason they hadn't been selling more space.  When you ask the barber if you need a haircut, he usually says 'yes' after all.  So my suspicious mind has to wonder why the sudden change?

With so many people screaming about storage space "take my money, please!" for so long with no response from Turbine, this is an odd departure from the status quo.
  

No, let me be Frank.

Turbine has no "status quo" they are all over the god-damn map. I feel like a lot of shit has to do with knee-jerk reactions to random shit. A bird poopls in Sev's coffee, and we get more storage space.

With all the BtA loot these days, shared bank is pretty useful, imo.

Its definitely not as important as BtC storage(the need for which is DESPERATE), but an extra 40 slots of BtA storage will still relieve a ton of pressure. It's a lot better than them pointing and laughing at us when we beg for more storage.

I have a lot fewer BtC items since new ran gen and CC.  I dumped all the old BtCoE stuff from level 21-26 that used to be useful in leveling.  The high road, druids, eGH, MoTU (outside of weapons).  A few things with value (backstabbers, avithoul, etc).  Also cleaned out all the old BtC stuff from 10-18 as the old heroic raid loot is crap now.  When am I ever wearing anything from VoD or Hound or Reavers Fate, for example.  Litany the quiver, and Shroud gear not withstanding, ofc.  ToD rings (outside of one or two exceptions) are mostly junk too.

Everything level 26 and up is mostly BtA.  How much of the Thunderholme and DoJ loot is even worth a damn?  Not much.  MoD has fared slightly better.

Torc, Marilith chain, Tharnes set, Ring of Lies.
I'd never toss those. I keep basically only raid or crafted loot.

Never bought any space upgrades except basic shared bank and now 250 crafting storage because of new crafting.
My rule is always have 30 inventory spaces free at all times, it's trickier rule to follow now but I manage.

People have just too much shit.
And why would Turdbine come up with better inventory management when people just buy all those upgrades without question ?
They don't have to do better.

Isn't the DoJ stuff even BtA? I'm using an Epic Light Unending right now that came out of my shared bank:P

I just have things I worked way too hard for to toss. If you spent dozens of hours grinding for an item, you can't throw it away. Turbin(and apparently Wipe Tongue) need to understand that.

Yes but I am guessing that a new character slot mule still ends up being much cheaper than 10 new shared spots x4.

It's fucking hysterical to me that they finally got around to selling any type of storage spots mere weeks after they upped the House C crafting which enabled me to destroy a ton of BTC stuff that no longer was relevant. Seems like they should have offered this shit a month or 2 before the last update if they wanted to make $. I imagine most people with half a brain probably have a few less items in TR banks now than they did 2 months ago.

But so much less convenient.

A lot of us basically only play 1 main, alts are either tests builds, supporting/farming characters, or mules. But the added hassle of dragging shit over to a mule is just not worth the effort when you can just use that extra 170 slots for your main.

Its funny, I originally only bought the first 20 slots, and used to laugh at the idea of buying more. "HAHA, why should I buy more shared bank space when I have tons of mules?! I'll just make another mule!"

That got old so fucking fast...

It is all BtC.  If you found a work-around, great, but it isn't working as intended.  I've parked the stuff in my rez cache and pulled it out many times with no hint that it could be shared banked, and since it is (was) good gear I'm sure that many other people have also.

I must be confusing the raid loot with the flagging quest loot(which also tends to be pretty amazing). So no work around, sorry.

That's raid, the raid gear is all ML28, that explains why I never went after any of it.

And Turbine just put characters slots on sale for 25% off to run at the same time as the full price limited time offer shared bank space slots because Turbine. Seems someone with a clue would have been like lets put the character slots on sale next week that way we make more $ off the shared bank sales this week.....
