This has been run through the wringer already but has not been approved. To abate inventory issues, we have additional bags such as Morco's, Patrigios, and Clarence's Travel Bag (recently increased to two per family). Although these are premium expansion items in the shop, inventory has always been one of things you have to manage carefully in an mmorpg, and alas, without some things needed to be paid for, other more dastardly avenues would be opened (gasp) As far as the extra slots you are sitting on, you could still expand an alt characters inventory and use that character for a storage bank of this-or-that? Sometimes having an alt or two , here or there, is not necessarily a bad thing.
Well in all honesty, can you blame them? I mean how else to generate revenue for continued development of an internationally available game? There has to be a healthy level of premium shop or else there is no game. People and services don't work for peanuts and *thumbs up* ya know.
That is actually true, and going further in truth, there are more non-spenders playing than there are players that spend....scale that up exponentially....
