why arent some buyable things not account based?

So for every new character you start with 16 bank slots. You can buy another 16 slots with zen if you would like. I dont mind this however, I think upgrades like this should be account based not character based. If you make another character you have to rebuy those slots for that character. This is supposed to be an mmo. Why isnt your bank linked between your characters and same with upgrade slots for your bank?

Some items can be transferred from one character to another. Bank slots can't. That's the way it is.
Where you find a girlfriend that would let you buy a Ferrari and not her one FIRST ?
why do u choose to make <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> analogies?
That is a poor analogy. That would work for Bag of holding (one purchase and can be sellable in AH)
I agree that Bank boxes services should be account wide. I guess it is not account wide to make more money from people playing alt and need more slots per character (I would love buy account option at reduce rate would be cool too like SWTOR)
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
Other MMO's allow account wide bank/inventory expansion. For $10 that should apply account wide (account/character bound obviously) as should bank space. It's ridiculous that a bag cost $10 in the first place and yes i understand it's a F2P MMO and it's how they make their money but that doesn't mean that have to have outrageous pricing. Look at the SWTOR model. Account wide inventory/bank for cheap.
I don't that that "it's free" and i "dont have to buy it". That still doesn't mean the prices are acceptable. If pizza hut started selling their pizzas at $100 a pop instead of $10-12, would that be fair pricing? no.
With that analogy (the pizza one) people would be disgusted and go buy pizza somewhere else. Which translate to, if you don't like it, go play something else (that equal to the analogy given. It is NOT what I am telling you)
BUT with F2P method, what we can do as customers is vote with our wallet. Bag of holding IS useful item, but if people don't buy them, they might reduce the price. I do see them on AH, so someone is buying them.
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
In World of Warcraft the banks and bags aren't linked, and that's the most successful MMO on the market...
So in conclusion I think it is up to the consumer to speak out about SOME unique situations where the company in question has overpriced something. I think this is one of those situations given that this is an mmo, our banks should be linked between characters and we shouldnt have to pay 10 dollars every time we need a little more room in our bank. FFS its only 2 rows.....
Lol this moron again, he must work for PWE.
Yea. I find it interesting that we don't have a joint bank account for all our characters. That would have made sense AND they can sell more slots (which probably some wouldn't mind)
BUT I guess personal bank, join bank and guild bank are made because of different item level like BoC (bind to character) BoA (bind to account) and BoE (bind on Equip) BoE can be store in any tab, but the first two would be limited to either personal bank or Account bank.
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
For this analogy to work you and your girlfriend(s) would have to be the same person. That's possibly the case, so imagine if you bought a car, but weren't allowed to drive it when you were one of your other selfs? Actually most laws wouldn't allow you to buy or drive a car in the first place, but ignore that part.
I think an easy fix would be that an boe or bop can never be placed into the bank. easy.
"Account/shared bank" and "bank" aren't the same thing. Most of the MMOs I've played that do have shared bank space? Also have individual space for each character. And any expansions you buy for the character bank are just that - for the character.
(Account bank space also tends to cost a bunch more, since it's so useful. I know in STO, it's $10 for 10 spaces. Versus $3 for 12 in the individual banks. I'd swear I paid around $15 for shared banks in Perfect World and Lord of the Rings Online, as well.)
Hmm, only games I've played yet with total-shared-bank-only are Path of Exile and TERA.... and yeah, while it's nice to have the shared space to transfer stuff between characters, I wish like hell that I had personal banks, because shared space runs out just way the heck too fast. (Especially in TERA, where I couldn't expand my bank any further.)
Personally, considering that most games do the "personal bank and maybe some shared bank space" thing, I don't see doing it as a "step back", but rather just doing the standard thing. /shrug
dude no.... thats just a terrible analogy. plain and simple. we are talking about 2 vastly different things here. come on man....
dude its like 10 bucks for 12 slots. I am not saying its something we shouldnt have to pay for out right I am saying that THATS TO ****ING EXPENSIVE. Especially when its not shared. I am fine with no shared space as long as they dont overprice getting more slots(which they are doing right now).
Actually, the bank space is $6. Still a bit high, but not as high as that. (Inventory bags are $10.)
yea but the minimum u can buy is 10 bucks worth of zen so lets face it, its basically 10 bucks....
