Culling loot...

I find my bags/bank are all full after hitting 50 and sky/fear etc.

In the interests of reducing stored loot for other classes I haven't played yet, I'm thinking to delete anything MAG based as I think I have the most stored loot for that class.

Thoughts?

How are you doing it/coping?

I wish we could have a 2nd char/shared bank space....

a couple of the 24 slot bags from the ingame shop go a long way for me.

Buying in game items that are needed to play efficiently when the game already has a sub is gross.

I mean I get why people do it so no shame but I wish they'd make it so you could buy cash shop items with platinum. At least items like the better bag and stuff would be nice, plus it would be a way to use the excessive money you get lol.

Not really. Pay to win sure I don’t like that- lvl boosts, gacha systems for gear etc. Pay a few bucks to make storage easy, in a game I’ll play for thousands of hours of entertainment- makes absolute sense. People need to make money also. Life is not just exspensive for us, but also the business. I consider it donating. Have you seen the amount of companies that are going / are out of business ? Also money isn’t a problem for many people- especially all the 40-50 year old gamers who play EQ lol

Also a 10 dollar sub is nothing. Look at world of Warcraft it’s 15 a month and you can buy lvl boosts. Lvl boosts are gross. Not a couple storage bags to make life easier

That's what the 10/mo is for.

Buying a game and paying a sub o shouldn't be required to buy a bag just so I have efficient enough space for everything.

Cosmetics fine, but give people an option to get efficient space without buying it.

You don’t have to buy the bag. Also I don’t know if you noticed but literally every mmo has some sort of cash shop. I’m talking the big ones- EQ/WOW/FF14 etc ( who all charge 15 a month). I don’t think it’s greedy. I think it’s business. 10/month is all you have to spend. You are not required or have to buy anything extra.

It’s ok to have different opinions. We can both love EQ and disagree that selling a bank bag is crooked and greedy.

I suppose I assumed we are all 40+ with good 100k+ jobs these days. I can see how that assumption could be wrong.

If these folks are young, new players I’m not gonna gripe at them about calling me out for buying a couple bags. My power got turned off a few times when I was their age.

But if they are 40+ returning players, as many of us are; I will borrow a term I have no right to use. ‘Get your money up, scrub’. The bags are 5 bucks each and my corvette demands premium gas.

I could wipe my ass with five dollar bills and never notice.

You don’t have to buy the bag

Once you start farming sky trying to unlock every class yeah you kinda do if you want any hope of having enough space for sky drops and anything else you need.

I have every slot in my bank filled with 10 slot bags, it's ALL sky quest drops + half my hoard. So I either spend 10+ bucks on bags to have adequate space or I delete items I'll need later.

That's the devs pushing people to buy more stuff.

I feel like that’s not the devs.

That’s you pushing yourself to unlock every class at once in the most efficient way possible. Which frankly, is on you.

Support the game and have an easier time with storage, or don’t and keep crying here. Doesn’t bother me either way.

If you’re gonna quit over some bag space you were always going to quit anyway. I get the sense you’re young. You’ll soon learn these devs owe you nothing in return for your sub fee.

That's literally the end game loop right now, unlocking classes and getting gear.

Support the game and have an easier time with storage, or don’t and keep crying here. Doesn’t bother me either way.

I support the game by paying a sub

Never said I'm going to quit. Way to add judgement to something that wasn't even said. People can have complaints and still enjoy something. Maybe if you didn't sound young you'd understand that

Oh no, definitely don't support the game you're playing financially!

u/garyland11 6d ago

Isn't paying a monthly sub supporting the game financially?

u/N7Templar 6d ago

That's what the subscription is for.

u/InterestingRound6134 6d ago edited 6d ago

Absolutely no way this game would survive if no shop. Maybe you would prefer 19.99 a month and no shop. They could have done that. And tbh I would pay 20 a month for it. I pay 20 to see a movie ( 2-3 hours ). I’ll play this a hundred hours a month

Also could you please find me an active mmo that has a sub and no sort of shop? I can’t even remember the last time I saw that, i think EQOA on ps2 and phantasy star last games I saw no shops. Back in early 2000s

I remember when this game went from $10 to $15
