They are gonna have to do something about this on a large scale. We are getting more and more items on a daily basis, and not gaining places to put them. As much as I like the crafting system (minus the stupidity of xp being based on resource consumption) Its a MAJOR problem the way resources change/rotate. Having 50 different kinds of copper, and 75 different steels, along with this gas, and that polymer... Crates need increased capacity. I have one suggestion that would be considered constructive... Add a few servers for bank boxes, and increase the number of items allowable in peoples banks to 500 or 1000. This would take a HUGE load off the actual GAME servers, and houses. The term is amicable solution.
Please add suggestions that are constructive. Maybe Someone at SOE will eventually stumble on this.

I don't think they are going to do this. I believe SOE thinks that storage is a mini-game. It's a risk/reward type of thing. Should you take a risk that a new copper will spawn and you dump some of your older stuff to make room for something else? or do you keep it and get less of that other thing.
But you can ask ... just don't think anybody at SOE is going to listen as this is one of there core things.

one thing that puzzles me about the storage issue in this game is that even if vendors are removed as a near infinite capacity storage medium, the amount of storage that you have in this game across your 10 lots is still far more than any other MMORPG that I am aware of.

Someone didn't plan for or realize the rat-pack mentality of your typical crafter - much less your typical MMO'er.
What, get rid of this 100unit stack of UBER Platenite CU from Month 0? NEBAR!

In Anarchy Online, you can carry as many backpacks as will fit in your inventory and in your bank and they count as 1 item each backpack even if full.

It may not be on the horizen yet, but I think it would be something that they should look into. Especially fixing the crazy ratio that is house storage. Mediums should hold more than a small. By bumping this up to 200, and PA halls up to 300, even this little bump of 50 to two housing structures can go along way.
Of course, I still hold out hope for some sort of "wearhouse" that elite crafters can use. (sigh) lol

You all have acess to UNLIMITED storage space, get a few honest guys from another server and do a lot trade, it would take you about 2 hrs total to mess around and get 20-30 more lots for static houses, throw all your **edit** in there... Hell check out Darjarmatar's "City" On talus, about 50 houses there, just for storage, you have unlimited it just takes time to get it.Think of it as a "Quest" For more inventory space

BUT the Devs have made cryptic references to something called a "lot balance" so those cross-server deals may not work in the long term.

I have many, many, many crates constantly being made, stored and used for my many, many, many items I sell. What the hell am I supposed to do with all these crates that will now be counted individually??
