Whether 17 or 20 makes more sense has nothing to do with the number itself, and everything to do with the techical backbone, available data storage, economy considerations, and more. Neither you nor me have the necessary information to decide what impact three more available bank tabs across all accounts would have. If the number rubs you the wrong way, then you're free to just not buy (or use) them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about the food. Still, it’s closer to being correct than it having to do with it not being a part of a recipe (lol).

Because I was talking about why Anet would have a good universally applicable reason, which would apply even if there are in fact no technical limitations, to not allow it to be added to mat storage. Everything that goes in mat storage has a use in a recipe. They don't add things which have no such use to it. The wintersday and halloween equivalents, for example, Candy Corn Cobs and Snow Diamonds both have mystic forge recipes they go into. Bauble Bubbles do not. I suppose maybe at a stretch one could guess that lore-wise they try to stick to a concept of things rewarded within the SAB not being physical real-world items which exist and can be interacted with, and so you cannot stick them in the mystic forge or craft with them?

If the number rubs you the wrong way, then you're free to just not buy (or use) them. A lot of such numbers are in fact completely arbitrary. They need to put a cap on all such account additions or someone is going to try buying enough to eventually cause the game to crash. Over time they gradually trickle out higher caps for everything, but at a slow pace, likely so that it all keeps to a pace which doesn't cause problems for users trying to access the game on slower hardware or connections who buy too many. Look at bags, we went from 20 being the cap on their size to 32. I for one was waiting ages for EoD to come out and add its new free shared inventory slot as I correctly surmised this would also mean them lifting the cap from 24 to 28. Undoubtedly one day they will raise it to 32, and my shared inventory will neatly be the same size as the bags beneath it and it will stop bugging me that it's not. The reason for so many numbers not being neatly rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 is generally because they have in fact over time added more, after starting with a number which was.

And we have to pay extra monthly money apart from game monthly sub for each additional retainer for mere 40 or so slots to hold items, I'd say we're taking things for granted in gw2 Edited April 13, 2022 by Crystal Paladin.3871 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
