The problem with the load of craft items.

Those people who are engaged in crafting professions faced with the problem of overflowing bags with things for crafting. Is it possible to create a bag for crafting resources? Or a bank in a workshop?

I ran up against the limit for the first time a week or so ago.

I was wondering if maybe there was a chance that we might be able to one day buy a larger/additional crafting material bag, but looking at the reality of the situation at this time I knew that I would have to make some space.

By the time I got rid of the standard stacks of things I had a fair amount of high-quality versions of, and then went ahead and crafted some other stuff to remove stacks of some other things (talking about lower-level potions here and ridding myself of all of the rhubarb I had, for example), I had made a decent bit of room for myself, but going forward I see myself having to clear out a fair bit more space.

I entertained the idea of limiting the 'intermediate' items, things like the various types of ingot, leather, and lumber to name a few, but this would slow the process down so much if I ever actually needed to use those things that it's really just not a good option.

That leaves limiting the variety of items that I keep on hand and limiting the amount of stacks of items I keep on hand. More of what I had already done.

Dropping a lot of lower level items is fairly easy. This is especially true of a lot of alchemy items.
I like low-level potion crafting as a quick-and-easy money maker, but that just needs stilled water, which in turn requires well water, and then one more ingredient depending upon which potion I make, but I only need to ever make a single type of potion so I only ever need space for a single ingredient for those.

That makes for a lot of stuff that I can either use up in other potions to make room eventually, or if I need the space right now I can just put them on the AH or sell them to a vendor directly.

But I also have the luxury of basically only needing to craft for a single toon. While I do have some alts, I really only play a single toon right now so if a material holds no real immediate value to that toon then I don't need to have it on hand.
If push comes to shove, I can clear out a lot of space fast.


Still, I would think that either a shared workspace storage that could be expanded or allowing for players to expand their personal storage wouldn't be too much to ask, and it seems like something that would be a popular purchase for players.
