To day most (all) of us got a free Shared Inventory Slot and that is great
but it annoys me that I cant move it to where I like it to be.
atm it is the first slot in my inventory but I really want to move in to the end.
but some may want to move it to the middle idk how most people set up their Inventorys, but if it was possible to move it in between bag slots,
or just move it somehow it had been AWESOME.
Yeah. I personally have all of the items that I keep on my characters at the bottom. It would be nice if you could move the slots but I’m not going to complain about a free one.
Edit: Added comment thanking for the free slot based on one persistent poster. I had thanked Anet on Reddit earlier this morning for it.
Being at the top makes sense as it’s designed for things to be used across all characters, such as bank access, merchants, TP, etc. Being at the top makes it easier and faster for the items to be accessed.
Just amazes me people can always find ways to complain about being given something for free…

Some people have things organized differently on their characters. There is no one correct way. Some prefer to have everything on the bottom and there’s nothing wrong with that.

For weapons and such that are character specific, yes, I can see that. I do that myself with invisible bags. However, putting things like merchants in the bottom just adds more work to scrolling down to get them.
Besides, we are still talking about people complaining about something given to them absolutely free. If it’s so inconvenient for someone, ignore it. They literally are no worse off than they were before.

I have my inventory window expanded so there’s no scrolling. There are a lot of people who have everything they use on the characters at the bottom. I do it since all loot populates from top to bottom and it’s easier to keep them separate. Just because you don’t do that doesn’t mean that those that do and prefer the option to do so are wrong.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting the ability to move the location of the slots from top to bottom or vice versa. They are not criticizing the free slot but asking for an additional feature that would be nice for those that prefer everything to be at the bottom.
In addition, this item will automatically be delivered in a one-time, free Shared Inventory Slot, which will not count toward the Gem Store limit of shared inventory slot purchases.
What means that “one time”? it will disappear if i use the 80 boost?
Besides, we are still talking about people complaining about something given to them absolutely free. If it’s so inconvenient for someone, ignore it. They literally are no worse off than they were before.
Well, that is your opinion. But it is not possible to just ignore it. It is there, it uses space and even if you don’t have it expanded, the tab for it uses space. So your inventory is not using the same space anymore. Meaning you need to either expand it or scroll to reach things that are now not visible anymore because of that thing.
And well, just because it was free, doesn’t mean I wanted to have it.

If you continue reading the post it says this…
“…which is yours to keep even after you use the character boost.”
The one time refers to the unlikelihood that they will give another shared inventory slot for free.

you do know that people make the Inventory big so that they dont have to scroll.
but I do get what you mean if you have salvage kits in the middle of the inventory and not at the bottom you dont have to move the mouse as much.
yes people got this for free but not everyone has just 1 you may or may not have buyed one or 2 or 5 or what ever, so why you are talking about hateing on free stuff I really dont know, and we also never said it was bad that they gave us one for free but there is room for improvement on the shared inventory slot thats all

Thanks, i’ve only read release notes and not the entire blog post.
They should just remove it from people’s accounts who have a problem with it and stop offering free items altogether.
So apparently the way you organize your equipment is the only correct way and people who offer suggestions to be able to customize where the slot is are simply complaining and should not have the slot? That’s a pretty close minded way to think. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with offering suggestions. They’re not criticizing the slot but instead asking for a way to customize where they are located.

Did I say that? No. I am also not the one complaining. But yours and other people’s attitude is ‘If you don’t give it to me in the manner I want than I am going to pout like a baby and complain’.
And yes, they are in fact criticizing it because it’s not exactly how they want. What’s so ironic is that the people who criticize Anet for not making each and every little thing customizable in every single possible way also tend to be the ones who whine about why it takes so “long” for new content to come out.

You’re implying it. People are suggesting improvements and you’re taking it as them complaining. You’re even going as far as to justify why it’s fine the way as it is. As I’ve stated multiple times, there’s nothing wrong with people offering suggestions to improve upon the slot. This same suggestion was actually mentioned when those slots were first offered on the gem store so this has nothing to do with whether they are free or not.
If you don’t like people offering suggestions then simply ignore the thread. There’s nothing wrong about asking for a feature that you would like to see.

No, it’s just more entitlement mentality complaining where people have to find some form of fault in any little thing that isn’t exactly the way you want it.

No. You’re the only one here seeing it as an entitlement issue. You like the slot as it currently is it appears and apparently people who offer suggestions to improve upon it to fit there playstyle are in the wrong. Why stop there? Anything that anyone offers suggestions to must mean that those players just have an entitlement mentality complaining because they had to find some fault in some little thing that isn’t exactly how they wanted.

I don’t see it as an entitlement issue at all. I think it’s a very nice gesture on their part that they didn’t have to do whatsoever. It only adds value.
It’s all of you who are like “Well this free item doesn’t work exactly how I want it so you need to fix it!!!!”, that’s entitlement mentality. Take a look in the mirror.

Huh… where did you see that? I have searched for that sentence in patch notes and it doesn’t say so. O.o I have been doubting that Anet would easily give such item for free.

Edit: It appears there was another thread just created with someone complaining. Now that would fit with what you’re accusing everyone on this thread of who are simply making suggestions, not demands, of what would be nice to see.
I see account that don’t have HOT – never got this shared inventory slot nor did they get the level 80 stone. Will they get it when they buy HOT. I don’t have HOT and do intend to buy it. Would really like to know.

Yes, I am. I see this in every game. And Anet has a history of doing more nice things for it’s player base than any game I have ever seen. In GW1 the player base was much more appreciative of it but GW2 just seems to have the whiners that WoW used to have. At some point when people do nothing but complain when they are given things for free it will make those who give the free things away that there is no benefit to them making that special extra effort.
People also need to stop and think about how complex an inventory database is. These shared slot are shared across all characters on an account. To make them movable isn’t nearly as easy as moving a bag from one slot to another as some posters seem to think. To make it movable the code would have to take into account hundreds of more variable such as one character may have 8 bag slots, another have only 6 while another may have only the minimum 5. There is a potential to have a lot of things break by adding in that customization into shared inventory slots that is much easier to do on an individual character. And if past experience has shown anything it’s that the ones who demand that their little wants are met will be the first ones to yell if what they want introduces a bug.

Yes, please make the shared inventory slot movable or being able to be placed at the bottom
I agree. All inventory slots should be moveable since we all organized our stuffs differently. Choices are good. Maybe they’ll make this possible if enough people like the idea.
And yet not a single person has said “You know what a nice thing for Anet to do. They didn’t have to make the Max to 80 boost and they sure didn’t have to put it in a shared inventory slot that they gave away for free. I sure do appreciate that”.
(not directed at the people I quoted, just used it as reference) Btw… all these things just sounds to me more like a sneaky attempt to push people to purchase HoT or spend more time in HoT maps. I won’t go further on this to not derail this thread though.
I don’t think it’s sneaky at all. Of course they want people to purchase HoT. Name one business that doesn’t try to market their products? It’s the entire point of being in business. A business that doesn’t market doesn’t stay in business for very long.
This game doesn’t have a monthly sub fee. It survives solely on box sales, of which only HoT is the one for purchase, and gem store items. And GW2 is one of the very few F2P games that doesn’t have pay to win items on their cash store.

Players get awesome stuff like a free 80 boost and shared inventory slot, and ANet gets a boost in business. Sounds like a win-win for everybody to me.
This came up when the Shared Inventory Slots were first released, and if I remember correctly someone at Anet agreed it would be good to be able to move them and said they’d look into doing it in future.
For now I’ve settled for keeping mine minimised, but I would much prefer to be able to move them to the bottom.

Yes, I am. I see this in every game. And Anet has a history of doing more nice things for it’s player base than any game I have ever seen. In GW1 the player base was much more appreciative of it but GW2 just seems to have the whiners that WoW used to have. At some point when people do nothing but complain when they are given things for free it will make those who give the free things away that there is no benefit to them making that special extra effort.
I was just teasing you, although I also don’t see this thread as a complaint but more like suggestions. Also, not everything is really “free”, some of them may have things or intentions “behind the scenes” O.o I tend to discord that people here aren’t appreciative, I have seen another threads where people thanked them for features or even fixes.
People also need to stop and think about how complex an inventory database is. These shared slot are shared across all characters on an account. To make them movable isn’t nearly as easy as moving a bag from one slot to another as some posters seem to think. To make it movable the code would have to take into account hundreds of more variable such as one character may have 8 bag slots, another have only 6 while another may have only the minimum 5. There is a potential to have a lot of things break by adding in that customization into shared inventory slots that is much easier to do on an individual character. And if past experience has shown anything it’s that the ones who demand that their little wants are met will be the first ones to yell if what they want introduces a bug.
Well, I tend to agree with you in your last points. This feature seems to be somewhat more complex than the inventory itself, not to mention the inventory itself suffers from a bug that devs haven’t been able to fix for 2 years now that comes and goes all out of nowhere.
Personally, I keep all my personal “stuff” at the bottom of my inventory exclusively because you can’t keep it in the starter backpack without it being sorted/deposited.
I’d prefer to have the option to move my safe bags to the top (above the starter backpack) and have loot fill from the bottom up because the top has the fastest access (which is probably why the shared slots go there).

Would it be nice? Yes, of course. Options always are. But considering having the ability to move them even to another static location would require many, many more times the lines of code to make sure it wouldn’t break other inventory items, is that really something we want Anet to dedicate that much time over? And even if they made it so it could be moved to the bottom, you would have 20 more people screaming ‘I want to put in in the third/fourth/etc. slot’.
Maybe towards the end of an expansions content they may have the time to dedicate, but for now they gave out something for free that people just want to complain over. And people even saying that they don’t need to say thank you for it in order to complain.

Maybe using “sneaky” was a bit too much lol. And I didn’t say it was a bad thing, I just meant that it was an uneeded thing that nobody asked for and I don’t see any other use for it except pushing players to be able to play HoT maps (tell me about being “stuck” in Silverwastes in a “level 80 trial” while not reaching 80 lol). Why rushing with leveling? First NPE and now this… I miss enjoying exploration while leveling :/

Shared inventory is an incredibly complex feature. I remember back when I played WoW, the devs in that game had originally talked about making huge inventory bags. Later on they could only do that for specialty items to make the coding and memory management easier.
Having this in a static location really does offer the ability for us to have this now. To make it movable and customizable like would have needed to add a few times more devs to the project and a LOT more time to try to make it work and that may have meant that it may not have been deemed worth it to include at all.

Nobody in this thread is complaining. As stated before, offering suggestions for improvement and complaining are not the same. If you want to make personal attacks on someone that is actually complaining, there’s another thread that was just created by someone doing just that.
We also do not know how much coding would be involved in implementing a change so the slots could be arranged like bags. Even then, there’s still nothing wrong about offering suggestions as we don’t know how much coding would be involved in any suggestions we make for that matter.

That’s a thing I like about this game.
I don’t think they are rushing anyone to level. Some people love to rush to level so they included the option IF someone wanted to.
I myself like to level, but I am going to use this to make a new character to help with my Elder Wood logging in Orr. And the goodies it gives are a very nice plus.
