-Make items account bound.
-Remove quest items from bags. You already provided a way of using the quest items on quest frame so there is really no need to use 10+ spaces for such items in my bags
-No more reputation items in bags. You got currency tab use that for every such item!
-Remember Key chain that you removed from the game? Give it back and put ALL the keys to the key chain. Remove keys from visible items in my bag.
-Create a separate book where you put the books, notes, mails, etc. This should not take up one space in bags, not to mention its a feature that makes “reading” stuff more fun, if you make a nice little book icon. Another way of saving space in my bags, who would have thought!
-Put all unlearned recepies in this book view while you at it! Thus removed another dozens of items in my bags that I’ve yet to learn and didn’t get around leveling my professions but its soulbond so I can’t use them just now.
-Create event and region related “slots” on some cool looking frame. Remove the Seeds that is again soulbond (why though, make it accound bound) and taking up more space from the bags.
-Mark of honour? Still in my bags and its already account bound? Put it on currency tab please
-Pet stones, battle pet and other things should get out of the bag also. Create a nice battle pet related frame.
Bottom line: While I started to write this ohh boy I just reallized how much crap you put into our bags OMG Item types all over the place, that need to be cleaned too.
Or just seriously hire me and I fix all of this crap, honestly. But you really need Blizzard to put your act together, you need more staff then hire them please.
Sounds like you need to organize your stuff and stop hoarding.
I carry all the stuff i need with me all the time and still have 50+ empty bag slots at all times… After every play session i clean up my bags, so they are ready for next time, it takes about 30 seconds.
I wouldn’t want this to be in the currency tab. I send it all to one character to buy items. I’m not aware of currencies being made account wide atm.
On the whole I’m not sure I’m a fan of sticking everything in some other category or system. Seems very convoluted but I do agree some stuff could be tidied up.
@Sawator
we are playing VERY differently you and me.
/crack knuckles and start to type:/
-My main is Paladin. I got extra gears for all the 3 talent setup in my bags since I play DPS, Tank and Heal as well. Also items that needs to be upgraded but I got no Drake’s Crest for it yet, and the ones I wear is better so I can’t put them anywhere until they are upgraded. Lets count it for 10-16 items, without the extra trinkets for healer and tank, trinkets are 9 currently in my bag I use regularily.
-I got food and extra items, potions, etc /I do put unnecessary ones in Guild bank though every time/ Lets count 10-20 item slots for this.
-Quest items (currently 12 items)
-I don’t put the unlearned recepies for my JC and Enchanting into bank or else I forget that I need to advance on my professions. 5 recepies currently, already reduced down from 8ish today and yesterday though if I recall correctly.
-Reputation items, key fragments, key for weekly. Gathering Repu items for my alts also, 9 slots used for this currently.
-Keys, 2-3 usually
-3 different seeds
-I also do fishing and cooking. So basic cooking mats, and different catches in the bag constantly (bus sure I put them in bank as soon as I can), you can count 5-15 slots for fish and meat
-Elemental materials. Not even worth putting in the bank since I constantly get new ones for Fire, Rousing, Frost, etc. They are constantly in my bags even if I put them in the GB, 5 minutes later I got more anyways.
-5-6 Small Expedition Shovels so I can gather more repu items
-BoA items, that should not go to waste and forgot in my Bank, either I send them to alts or I use them later.Iskaran Fishin Gear Materials for example.
-JC and Enchanting Mats for actually making stuff. 5-10 slots
-Event items, like Encapsulated Destiny when I able to do it, and near, I do it still so I used these as well.
-Copper Coins, because its hard to come by and its soulbond I can’t get rid of it, nor put it in Bank. Mark of Honor token, Polished Pet Charms, etc. 3-8slots
I got 20 free material slots and 7 empty standard bag slots to get the grey items for vendoring (money is always welcome), and the occasional drops from dungeons and raids.
So you were saying, you got 50 empty slots, hmm? Good for you.
I think Crimson means, as it is accountbound anyway, why not make it a currency that every character has access to through the currency tab. Like tender from the Trading Post. Personally I’d love changes like this, there’s so much crap about that I need to park on this char, or send to that char. And yes, it’s annoying
I really like your suggestions Crimson. At times I bump into having to delete things like books, that I’d like to hold onto but with the amount of crap flung at you every expansion it’s unfortunately unnecessary clutter.
Its a workaround as Ian Hasikostas said on Blizzcon. This is just a workaround until they fix it (soon TM), this is an outdated system where soulbond and character progression was separate because it was such a long time that we barely had any alts.
fast forward today, I got all classes almost all races maxed and played almost regularily on both sides.
You can’t have currency as soulbond not Account bound either. You can’t mail stuff to your alts constantly. It is very crazy, and if I wouldn’t have Arkinventory to help me control where is what I would tear my hear out and stop playing altogether. I cannot begin to imagine how people without bag addons play this game man, its crazy!
I’m guessing with the focus being more on accountwide stuff now, they might be considering it. And one can always request something, and hope it gets read!
With stuff like the paracausal flakes (or whatever they are called), being able to purchase an accountwide method of distributing them shows they are aware of the wish. And it being that way right now is unnecessarily convoluted, it might as well simply be an accountwide currency shared by all characters. Same result, no hurdles.
it’s also really annoying to loot 452332412 year old useless crap that you cant even vendor when you farm old content and it’s even more annoying when it keeps dropping from every mob
My main problem is that I’m a tailor & a jewelcrafter plus a cook … and so 2 of my bags and my bank reagent tab are already full of 20 million different levels of reagents. The worst are the jewels & the ore and other stuff I need to use them with the jewels & ore having 3 or 4 different levels for each one. I had to give up fishing as I literally had nowhere to put anything I caught. If they could fix it so the same kind of gem stacks together (or just remove the different levels) it would make my bags and bank so much easier to manage.
I generally agree with your points. Inventory management has become so tedious. I go to the bank and clear out 60 or 70 slots and feel great, for about 2 days when they’re all full again.
Stop with the “Combine this item with a blue thingy of Piffleness to create yoke of great wonderment” then “Combine yoke of great wonderment with a red orb of blahhodd to create wonderful doodad of Yayness” and do this six more times with items that you have no idea where to great nor any real interest in finding out.
This things just sit in your bags for months until eventually you decide to delete them.
Also Crafting Reagents need a massive storage area (perhaps one per expansion) either held centrally or have one located in each expansion in some suitable area (Mechagon Island for BFA would work).
Oh yeah, making 3 quality-levels of all generic profession items and 3 quality levels of all component products (Engi parts, BS alloys, Inks, and so on) is a major drag on bag space, we need much bigger profession bags!
Item types all over the place, that need to be cleaned too.
