For quite some time now, players have been asking for a location in which to store important keepsakes including treasured armor sets, unique quest rewards, and gifts from friends, as well as other valuable items they’ve collected on their journeys throughout Azeroth.
This is a feature we’ve wanted to add to the game for a while, so we’re excited to announce that, thanks to the ingenuity and entrepreneurship of the Ethereals, a new long-term storage option will soon be available to completionists and collectors alike.
Only use being transmog? AS if. Why would you pay to deposit the item, pay to withdraw the item, and then pay to transmog the item? Items frequently used for transmog were often just left in the personal bank to avoid the fees. In any case its not about the price now since gold is mostly non-issue for todays players. If you were withdrawing items regularly for any reason, then you already misunderstood the system.
the Ethereals will require a small fee for each item deposited into or withdrawn from their Void Storage apparatus
Since this particular storage option isn’t really intended for belongings that you’d use on a regular basis
Did you know you couldn’t even use the items that were stored in void storage for transmog? Patch 5.3 added the ability to mog using items in it or the bank. So for an entire xpack you were paying 3x just to mog once.
Players can now use items that are in the bank or Void Storage for transmogrification.
Back to this notion that it was only used for tmog…
It’s important to note that the goal of Void Storage isn’t to be a second bank, but rather a place where players can safely store items they wish to keep for the life of the game, either for sentimental or aesthetic reasons.
Oh look, items we wish to keep for the length of the game for sentimental or aesthetic reasons. A lot of my items have story attached from playing with friends along the way.
I dont have to explain why each item holds value to me.
A variety of items can be placed into Void Storage – including soulbound items and Battle.net Account Bound items – making it the perfect location to store trophies from past conquests
Trophies from past conquests… Yea, I agree. Great place to hold them. Too bad its being removed.
Bigger bags MIGHT alleviate some of this problem… if blizzard wants to give us the same size bags retail has. Give me 32+ slot bags.
The items I wanted to put in there are for my own reasons and I owe no one an explanation.
Again… if you didn’t want to use the system you didn’t need to. Stop ruining things for players who liked it.
