Personally, I think ANet needs to choose: do they want the number of bag slots to be bound? (as it has been since launch) or the bags themselves to be bound (as only 24- and 28-slot bags are). The current situation is unnecessarily confusing, frustrating, and has so little economic benefit that it's not worth sticking to whatever principle ANet thinks is at stake.

That was my assumption, too. In addition, I presume that they might think people are more likely to train crafting disciplines on all characters so that each can upgrade their soulbound bags if needed - which I think is something people are _not_ likely to do. > Personally, I think ANet needs to choose: do they want the number of bag slots to be bound?

Account bound I'd understand from an economical point of view - but soulbound is a completely unnecessary hassle, especially since those bags have to potential to be upgraded, but can't be upgraded if the character doesn't have the respective crafting discipline.

FrizzFreston.5290 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Arenanet has to keep some things mysterious. If everything they design makes sense and/or is practical, that would just be boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant, they have made actual statements that suggest that they don't consider the mid-sizes to be a goal; they are described as intermediate steps along the way. > In addition, I presume that they might think people are more likely to train crafting disciplines on all characters so that each can upgrade their soulbound bags if needed - which I think is something people are _not_ likely to do. This seems incredibly implausible to me, especially if you grant that ANet doesn't seem to think the intermediate sizes are important. I can't see any reason why they'd expect anyone to worry about crafting disciplines: after encountering the binding issue once, why would anyone choose to start the process on someone who couldn't finish it? You'd either go to 32-slot immediately or wait until you could for the 24- and 28- bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd either go to 32-slot immediately or wait until you could for the 24- and 28- bags. I disagree. Many players don't have the immediate resources to upgrade to the 32-slot version right away. So they use the lower versions until they can upgrade - in theory. But if they use it on a character that cannot upgrade it - which happens a lot, I presume, since you don't level crafting on all your characters -, then you are stuck with the lower slot versions. I can't be the only one that has faced that problem, or threads like this one wouldn't be created. Therefore, the assumption what ANet's intentions with this might have been are more than plausible: either level the respective crafting discipline on that char or start working on a new bag (the latter being a way to influence the economy for the additional materials required).

Hexenkessel.9064 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm playing gw (1-2) from the very beginning. Soulbinding the new bags drives me nuts. It' s the worst thing they have done ever. I'm mad about this and angry. Wasted money. Made some larger invisible bags to use with other character, but it was soulbound - ahhhhhhrg -angry - fix pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratan.4619 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Perhaps this change is to incentivize players to upgrade to the 32 slot bags. Kind of like free stat changing on legendaries but not on ascended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like free stat changing on legendaries but not on ascended. It isn't working. I'm not going make a tailor on this character, I already have a a tailor, so I will never upgrade those. ![](https://i.imgur.com/7T87ZYk.jpg"") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilango.5960 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Well this was an annoying 2 year old problem I've just ran into last night...love coming back to issues the community have raised years ago that have barely any response on the matter. Just add the 24/28-slot bags to the Amnoon vendor to allow people to craft up to 32-slots once they have the materials. Locking these bags from being fully craftable serves no purpose other than to disincentivize players from obtaining larger bags which indirectly promotes bag slot purchases. This is just bad design.

SENCLA.8062 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 And another year has passed, and this problem is not solved. The main problem is that you can't use your 24 and 28 on other chars (besides the one with the crafting discipline for them) on your road to get that juicy 32.

Perhaps. Which, of course, doesn't mean it _isn't_ a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
