Bag Slots For Gems
It’s your bank tab that you can increase by X with gems. Your bank is account bound, not character bound.

@Drayden, you can add additional slots to place bags in using gems as well. It costs 400 gems per bag slot to increase your character’s inventory.
Buying bag slots for inventory (NOT for bank space) is PER CHARACTER, not account-wide (which is a MASSIVE mistake on ArenaNET’s part). This means that if you erase a character, you lose those slots. Unless ArenaNet says otherwise, you will not be able to move these slots to another character.
This makes buying bag-space EXTREMELY dangerous and pretty much a waste of Gems. Just stick with bigger bags from the Trading Post, and spend your gems on BANK SLOTS (which is account-wide).

Bag slots for inventory are per character, I was asking if they could be per character slot. What that means is even if I delete the character and make a new one I still have my 7 slots available as long as the new character is using the same character slot as the one I deleted.
That’s an interesting suggestion. I’m about to delete a Thief that I don’t like (want to remake her look) and I bought a bag slot on her.

Oh I’m sorry, I misunderstood!
I actually think this is an EXCELLENT alternative to the current way it works. Buy the “per character” upgrades, but have then character-slot assigned. That way if you delete that character, you can shuffle the benefits to another toon.
Good notion!

I don’t really see how this is any different than many other games in the end? I think this equates to about, what 1 to 1.5 gold per slot, worth of gems.
Why unlock more until you are sure you are keeping the character? Why delete so many characters that this is a issue? In many games, you pay game gold to increase bag and bank slots on a per character basis and if you deleted them, you would lose those upgrades (bank and bags alike).
The only difference is, you have a option to buy gems with real money instead of gold. However, you do not have to do so, you can use gold to get your gems.
Anet has to make money somehow. If it is too big a deal, use the gems on extra character slots first.

How about this: a more expensive bag slot upgrade you can purchase that’s account-wide? If bag slots are 400 gems.. maybe make it 1600 gems? That way you’re getting a little bit of a discount for doing account-wide but ANet still comes out on top?

@Tokyoshoe It’s not always a bad thing. My guildies spend 55 – 60s upgrading their 12 slot to a 15 slot. That’s 55s for 3 extra slot. I told them to spend 1gold (estimate) to unlock an extra bag slot instead. In the long run, it’s better =)
Why would you just delete a character like that? I find that extremely weird to throw out something you’ve put so much work into.
I only ever intend to play the one character, so I will be buying extra bag slots for him, but I understand that’s something unusual for MMO players. I think it would be universally weird to even think about deleting a character you’ve spent more then an hour playing though. Push comes to shove, you’d just buy an extra character slot.
Deleting characters is especially weird in GW2, where you can try everything a class has to offer with just one character.
People delete characters because they don’t like the look, and there’s no hint of an appearance change feature coming down the pipe, even if it’s actually safe to expect one.
What’s keeping me is an abyss dye I found before I even hit level 13. Gads…
