Agreed the right place to address Item STORAGE is with storage mechanisms not vendors.And it isSUCH A RELIEFthat they put those storage mechanisms into place before they changed the rules on vendors!!!!! /sarcasm off;
You first have to get them to agree that you need more storage. I don't think they agree with you. I think they believe you have more than you should have now and that increasing it wouldn't be healthy for the game. If that is the case they would have no motivation to add storage mechanisms into the game first. In fact I believe if you talked to them bluntly they would tell you that it is too easy to get practically unlimited storage and they are not going to expand any storage in the game until they lock those down as tightly as they can otherwise the storage probelm gets worse from there perspective and those who will store 1000's of items will have even more ways to do it.

Doc you have made a very interesting reply.
Is what you say the truth from any discussions you have had with Devs? or are you making a persoanl statement?
If you dont mind doing so please let us know.
The only waythe Devsare going to get Master Crafters away from being packrats/storage fiends is to give them storage in game. Who would want to use a vendor or x amount of small houses/factories if you could store stuff in Warehouse?
If the Devs want to stop general hoarding make the new structure of warehouse a Master Architect made thingplaceable by Elite MasterCRAFTERS only. And make it only able to store crated components / loose components / and raw resources - no finished products or products in crates or loots ect.Give ita interface like a factory eg no way you can get into it or declare as residence.
And just to make sure its not abused do not allow admin rights.
Also increase crate sizes,allow resource stacking over 100k and remove the temp? cap on storage/lot on houses that I think was placed a long time ago - how many crafters without alts have a nice decorated home? not many I would guess.
Until storage is addressed rather than nerfed then storage space be it in game or in the database will continue to be a problem for Devs and Crafters. I assume some of you pure Merchants get annoyed at storage vendors and this is why you percieve this to be a problem for your proff.
I am now a 0/4/0/4 Merchant (have been a Master) and also a Master Architect.
