which is likewise something that wasn't given up on....
But it wasn't spammed either.
bittty, i really must laugh at the whole "game balance" excuse, how in the blue blazes will giving more storage unbalance the game?? i guess me having 100 alt f2p accounts for storage of this or that would be better on the server? 100's of extra databases to waste space.... i'll not bother, but if your not in favor, or a dev, why are you still knocking this idea, are you afraid that we might get it? why more often then not are you negative about ideas that are optional content and could in no way harm everyday gameplay of anyone?
what do you know that we don't, other then what we really want doesn't matter and we're paying just to be ignored for years... yet another reason the population of the game is going down, because we're always given the shaft, and if that's not enough, then here you are knocking those of us that keep trying to ask for things.
Well, I know that I am now, after two years, getting a few bits of OP mats. I suspect if GH's had tons more storage, I wouldn't.
The point of limited GH/apt storage is to encourage people to *think* about what they really need to keep. At some point the alt storage becomes more trouble than it's worth and so good (but not mission-critical to the guild in question) mats come onto the market, either for sale or for trade. If I were a dev (and I am not), I would regard this as a *good* thing, but I wouldn't go about advertising the fact either, if only because of the tendency of players everywhere to work to the frustration of the plans of devs.
So, from my selfish point of view I am in favor of my getting good stuff. In terms of other players who are not part of powerful guilds getting good stuff, I'm in favor of that also. I fight with the question of allocation of good stuff to GH storage or not all the time as an HO of Phaedrea's Tears. I'd love to have just a little extra storage. However, it is good for me to have to make choices as well.
The dev / event / support teams (to judge by some other posts) are even fewer than I thought. If one has to communicate in 3 > 5 languages and make it come out the same in all of them in terms of "official pronouncements", it's going to take a long time to generate those pronouncements and they are going to be relatively few and far between.
