The average player can get several bank tabs quite easily.
Not all of them and 100k is a stretch for some.

Clearly.
Ive had players asking to borrow a few hundred gold for bags and crap they evidently didnt have the gold for.
1000 for the first tab is fine. 25k for the second? lmaoâŚIve got enough to buy a number of the tabs.
I wont, however.
This isnt a featureâŚthis is a gold sink.
Its typical in here to see some players actually defending when Ion pulls this kind of crap. Feels like ActiBliz investors in here talking half the time, lol.
Keep em playin, boyz. lmao

Evidently a New Years Eve goal he set for himself about a decade ago. lol.
Itâs also not a gold sink. Theyâve admitted before that pricing stuff this high actually gets rid of less gold than lower prices. They do it just to make it hard to get.
Iâm actually curious what everyone plans on storing in their account wide bank that they need 5 slots for? The prices are high, but I expected that. I realise not everyone did, so thatâs an unshared opinion.
I donât collect a lot of things that I would share across my characters and neither do the people I play with, so Iâm generally curious.
(I do collect a ton of stuff, just not that I would put in my Warband bank.)
Its all much easier to setup and organize if you start out with all the tabs you think youâll buy. Its not like we earn interest on the gold we keep in our accounts. Last tab was too pricey for me, but the first four werenât any big issue.
The only negative Iâve experienced is that the various banking addons arenât yet ready to read and report the warband bank part of inventory. meh.
World of Warcraft needs long term goals. We have to stop treating every patch like it disappears in 8 weeks, and acting like Blizzard is âforcingâ is to complete the new content in that time frame.
Annual/recurring events on a schedule with rewards are good. Achievements that take months or years to complete are good. And the Warband bank requiring a long term investment from the majority of players is good.

Same. I mean, I canât imagine needing to store 8 tabs worth of crap anyways.
Yeah, if you are using this for anything other than âdirect access to mats for things like craftingâ and shared gold, not sure what else you would be using it for? I could see if you have characters in different guilds and want the convenience I guess of a shared bank, but wow, thatâs some expensive convenience.

I dumped my reagent bank on the AH weeks ago. Now I can afford warband bank tabs.

Thats not an argument for such absurdly high tab costs.
This was supposed to be a FEATURE, not a gold sink,
And what weâd use them for is STORING more of our crap. This wasnt even remotely complex.
literally the pointâŚits a shared bankâŚno more need for finding guild charter signaturesâŚwellâŚWOULD have been had Ion not yet again turned a FEATURE into a horrificly absurd gold sinkâŚ

Wow you got really hostile over a simple question. I was just curious. But if youâre going to come off with hostility than so be it.
Iâll end with this before you blow your top. You can create as many characters as you want and store as much of your âcrapâ as you want. Donât complain about a feauture that was meant for the sake of storing items that you would presumably use on ALL your characters. Also, just because its a feature doesnât mean itâs free. Idk why youâre so entitled to think a feature is free when storage/bag space/etc have never been free. They also lack the versatility and use that a Warband Bank has.
Anyways, have a good one.

noâŚyou all just need to stop projecting your own emotional state into everyone elses posts. lol
uhâŚyeah? Ive ALWAYS been able to do that, lol.
This is a FEATUREâŚagainâŚeasy math here. It was supposed to give us a SHARED bank accountâŚyou knowâŚto STORE stuff lol.
My having ALWAYS been able to make new alts to store crap in alt bank accounts in NO WAY JUSTIFIES this INSANE level of gouging for these new bank tabs.
Sounds like more excuse making for Ion and crew and their BAD decision making processes.
In my case I already have a personal guild bank, all of my play is solo so my guild is literally MY GUILD. 
Iâve got 7 tabs there, only because I think the 8th requires more characters than I previously had, but I should check that with the recent count update.
But the reality is, Iâm going to have well over 50 70s by the start of the expansion (hello ReMOP) and I enjoy tradeskills, and I hate moving stuff around to use. So for me the warbank is basically a giant shared âreagent tabâ. I bought the first 3 tabs yesterday on one of my âmainsâ, had plenty of gold for that, and itâs enough for now.
When I get ore, or cloth, or other things like that, I can simply dump into the warbank. Itâs interesting too, I found out you can deposit into one tab and it will overflow into the next tabs, which is a feature guild banks donât have. Whats funny is that part of the reason I bought it yesterday is I was wanting to do the engineering weekly and my ore had been put back in the guild bank as I was shuffling stuff around, I went to go get it, and thought âhey Iâll check to see if that other character is still using the warband bank (lol)â and it was available now. So I bought some tabs, moved some mats, and was good to go. Very handy.
It still has the same limitation that the reagent tab does tho: If you have mats that combine and break down, uhhâŚforgetting the name, but the element stuff this xpac, the earth/fire/air/whatever things, they combine from 10 to 1 and back, but if you have them stored combined in the reagent tab/warband-bank you canât break them down remotely. So you have to waste storage space storing them broken down to use them. Itâs a stupid system that way.

its ion and his monkeys paw. every time he does something nice for the players he has to remind us he is so out of touch with the players of the game. just heres a qol selling point of the new xpac but 90% of you will not be able to afford to use it all so give me money. getting the free first tab and then sticking with guild banks like we always have is still the best option compared to this
Same. I have a few personal guilds on various alts, actuallyâŚand one main personal guild that most of the other alts are in that I play a lot.
the warbank will be great for moving between characters I have in different guilds so they dont have to use the mailboxâŚso 1 tab is more than enough for me.
I have to admit, Im fully expecting an âIonâ to be pulled with our personal guilds now to try to force us into using the warbank.
Not like the ongoing behavior at blizzard wouldnt dictate such a possibility.
I havent really used the warbank yetâŚI dropped some tinkers kits into it to move to another character, but that was about it.
I doubt Iâll end up using it much myself.
I had intended to use it instead ofâŚor in addition toâŚmy guild banks, but there is no way Im paying 25k for a tab, let alone any higher than that.
I really dont get how a man can take such an obvious win and literally every time walk away with a loss. lmao.
This was supposed to be a FEATUREâŚit shouldnt have been another outrageous gold sink.
If they wanted a gold sink for storageâŚjesus christ manâŚmake a new elephant mount for 30 million gold and put some luggage on its back, lmao.
They literally priced MOST of the player base out of being able to use it to full capacity.
and then you get the gigglers inhere who defend this crapâŚâwuh muh needz all duh tabz 4â lmao.
wasnt about needâŚit was about being ABLE to use the feature in its entirety without having to go into bankruptcy lmao
