Material Storage beyond 2000?

[codedbykush.2019]

I personally believe Anet should expand the material storage beyond 2000. What do you think? Any reason why it should or shouldn't be?

Yes. Not sure what benefit the 2000 limit has; I can't imagine any exploits or problems it would cause by increasing it. I've got several map currencies over 2K that I don't want to convert to volatile/unbound magic, in case I need them later, so they are wasting bank slots (which are also maxed).  

[Gehenna.3625]

Over 9000?

 

It might have to do with people stockpiling things too much. The more you can store the less you need to sell via the TP. They're part of the economy since they're resources.

[Bristingr.5034]

Honestly, I don't see the need to hoard mats past 1k, let alone 2k.

I won't vote because OP didn't add a "No" option.

Do you have 2000 iron ore to give to this guy?

[Embered.5089]

Indeed, legendaries require more than 2000 of some items. More than 5000, even. So I think that there should be enough storage to accommodate the legendary mat stockpiling.

I say this as someone who doesn't bother to expand my crafting mat storage lol.

Tend to agree. If theres a hard coded upper limit let us expand it to that. Unless the upper limit is across all materials ofc.

I believe that Nevermore requires 35k elder wood, but you don't use that in one go. You can spend it as you progress through it. But I still think that allowing people to store more mats, or stockpiling in other words, will hurt the economy. It does in real life as well.

People are already stockpiling in guild banks and mule alts. I don't think that it'll make much of a difference.

Nothing like a biased poll.

 

I think ArenaNet should do what they feel is best for the game and its economy.

[Klowdy.3126]

Though I agree with expanding all storage, I think you're missing an option here.

Well, since you asked nicely.

Just gotta keep it fair, lol.

Enabling more stockpiling and making it convenient, will only make things worse, probably will reach a larger audience. I think it makes enough of a difference, you don't. Sure. That's fair but either way, it won't change Anet's approach to this.

[Randulf.7614]

Might be technical restriction? Im in favour though. I hoard everything

[ArchonWing.9480]

In the past I would say stop hoarding, but don't some legendaries require thousands of certain materials?

Just promote all your mats to higher tiers, problem solved.  

 

For lower tier mats, it is easy enough to refine into squares or ingots...the only time this gets tricky is with things like bones / scales / etc., but proper planning will help with that.

true! even though, 2000+ would be really nice!

Wen T7?

2000 is excessive.  At that point, you could be putting them to use to grow your gold in the TP.  That or using them.  

I do understand that the T5 crafting material requirements are excessive though.  However, those things get refined and used and don't need to be hoarded to complete the project all in one go.

I buy and sell commodities in the thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) and I disagree that there is a need for more than 2000 material storage .

The cost for upping the material storage expansion is data and the background functions for handling it.  If someone can find it, an ArenaNet dev gave some insight to the material storage when asking the forums what we want to be added to it.

[decease.3215]

serious, if they increase the max stack size.  it will overwhelm a lot of new player.  When i check out new mmo, i almost always check max utility upgrade cost.

 

on the other hand, Anet could increase max stack size of each tab..which could solve all problem

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

I say "yes," because I'd like the prices for most raw materials to increase and I have no problem with Anet pumping people for more gems.  

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

Anet should come up with solutions to having too many mats rather than "fix it" with a monetary solution to an artificial problem they created.

I say no. Arenanet should invest in making materials more usable. When there is a proper material sink, the price will go up to make collecting and selling it worthwhile. Stockpiling materials should not be the answer to the lack of use for materials and the low prices
