Guild Wars 2

This is one of my ongoing pet peeves about this game; getting extra bag space is kittening expensive!

With bank tabs, it’s somewhat excusable – that’s an immediate 30 extra slots, accessible to every character, and it doesn’t cost a cent of in-game money unless you went that route to get more gems.

Bag slots are a different matter. The price is at least consistent, 2/3 the gems for 2/3 the slots – but those slots are not available to every character, nor are they cost free. You have to spend ingame money as well as your gems to actually get more inventory space.

I would really like to see bag slots made account wide, or at least be somehow equippable on a character so that they can be moved between. The current price is too expensive for anything but account wide slots, though – the cost of fitting out four, much less eight characters with even 1-2 extra slots is just too prohibitive to make it worthwhile at the present price.

Well the way I see it, it makes it hard for all though player who bought them before, but all, 100 slots is almost to much already since you can easily salvage / deposit right from your character and there always shop litter around all the open area.

It can be surprisingly easy to amass a lot of stuff without having time to salvage or find a merchant (e.g. in eotm or sw). I worked hard to acquire enough gold to buy another slot and – though expensive – it was worth it. It didn’t occur to me to question it as the OP does (I just groaned about it to myself) but maybe it does need a review.

I am not saying it can’t happen, it just I don’t see it easily happening. If you take a moment to deposit, or salvage, it can go quickly too.

I get what you’re saying, and certainly play-style will affect this greatly. I have seen it easily happening, and I accept that it’s mostly due to my choice to stay on the k-train rather than break off, salvage/sell and try to find the train again. Limited time can do that to a person. But whether or not it’s easy is irrelevent, and we shouldn’t get lost in it. The point raised by the OP is that inventory bag prices may need to be re-examined, and that can’t be a bad thing. It’ll either confirm that the prices are good or that they need to change.

I’ve never understood the need for more bag space, I play hours on end and seldom get to a point where it’s an issue. On the other hand my guy is always, need a merch I’m full, I am so tempted to take a peek and see just what the kitten he’s hoarding. Play styles can be so different in this game but big bags and sending the stuff home works for everyone.
