Alright folks, here we go. I have said that we would look into the material storage system to determine if we could reduce the current restrictions on what is allowed to be deposited there. We have completed that investigation and are ready to talk about what all of you wish could be deposited into storage that currently cannot be. So, please, post your suggestions in our official forums—offered in English, French, German, and Spanish—or post in the inevitable Reddit thread that links back to this post. The Comms team and I will be monitoring those places for your suggestions and gathering your feedback. In about a week or so we will pool those suggestions in order to weigh their validity, and if there are any popular suggestions that are not desirable or possible, I will follow up to explain why. If I find that the number of valid suggestions exceeds the quantity we reasonably can add, we might have to talk about priorities. But for now, let’s pretend that the sky is the limit for the purposes of this discussion.
Here are some guidelines, to head off any paths that will not be fruitful for you:
• No Crafted Components. There are simply too many of them and I categorically refuse to add them all. I will not budge on this. There might be some one-offs I am willing to consider, but if your suggestion is that every single Boot Sole, Soup Stock, Jewelry Setting, and Weapon Haft should go in, you have become Sisyphus and that boulder is never making it to the top of the hill. Give up now.
• No Keys. I totally understand how much folks want this (my shared inventory slots are largely taken up by keys, so I get it!) but putting keys into material storage is not a viable way for you to get a key ring. Sorry.
• No pure Salvageables. I’m looking at you, Lumps of Raw Ambrite. If an item’s only use case is to salvage it into another item that can be put into material storage, then just salvage those items if you want them out of your inventory.
And now, commence with the suggestions!
