To buy all the tabs for your Warband bank (Thus allowing all your characters to access the same stuff) will cost you over $3 million gold.
Why on earth would they put a price tag on this?
I really wish I could attend some of these groupthink board meetings so I could run around the room slapping people with a rotten fish.
WHY IS NOT FIVE, THE SIZE OF A PARTY??
God that is just so grating to me.
Because then the Whales will buy more tokens to afford it.
Hey, I’m a pay whale. I’ll admit it. I spend money on boosts, transfers, transmogs, pets, whatever. But I’m not spending more than $50.00 on a combined bank. Maybe $65.00 if I’m feeling spicy, but probably not.
Costing it out at $20 per token, 200k gold, that’s what $300?
…not enough value for that amount of money.
this is the thing.
I’m an adult with disposable income. I admit I’ve spent a lot of money on this game, including on transmog, pets, mounts. I’m not opposed to continuing to do so, but that’s irrelevant.
The players have been asking for account-wide banks for literally over a decade. Why, as a company, would you take a steaming sh*t on them like this?
HERE’S YOUR ACCOUNT WIDE BANK! PAY UP TO GET FULL USE OUT OF IT.
I can’t imagine most players have that much gold. To put a paywall on it of over 3 million gold is a slap on the face to someone who isn’t in the position I am, to just slap down a bank card and purchase this.
Also, yeah. $300 is way too much for account-wide bank. I have a personal guild bank. It didn’t cost me 3 million gold or $300 and it does the same thing.
Yeah I’ve got like 200k lol I’m screwed.
HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW WHALES! I buy the mogs I dont care LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO TIME TO GET CUTE!!
I have bought a few tokens before in the past and it was to buy mog items off the AH but i cant justify that much on bank slots, i think i’ll be fine says me with a literal full bank right now lmao. But 3 mil, if tokens were 250k gold that’ll be like $325-$350 real world money right?? yah no thanks!?!?! IN THIS ECONOMY!!! I could buy 233 costco hot dogs with that money
See, I just don’t think they’re thinking of the average player, despite Holly saying they know the average player is underserved.
None (or at least not many) of us have that kind of gold farming time and capability. We’re not selling runs. I personally know no one who’s got that kind of gold. Maybe players on some of the raid servers can afford this, but certainly not the rest of us.
This should have been a no-cost item and I feel like they’re putting the fee in place because maybe they realize they’ll be losing revenue from realm and faction transfers since we no longer have to do that to put our characters all into the same guild.
Not enough people vote with their wallets. Or maybe they do, but the wrong way…
I’ll be home in about 30 minutes, check your mail after that.
Thank you so much! Sarestha is now dead, (crushed by 6.2 tonnes of gold getting thrown at her) but very very rich.
Seriously Gen, really appreciated 
So, someone messaged me and asked where I found this pricing:
The Warband Bank (Warbank) has a total of 5 tabs, each tab containing 98 slots - total of 490 item slots for everyone on your account to access, including the ability to deposit gold.
So essentially, it works just like a guild bank.
However, you have to purchase each tab, also just like a guild bank:
| Tab | Cost |
|---|---|
| Tab 1 | 1,000 |
| Tab 2 | 25,000 |
| Tab 3 | 100,000 |
| Tab 4 | 500,000 |
| Tab 5 | 2,500,000 |
| Total | 3,126,000 |
Now of course, this is the pricing on the PTR it could change, but we’ll see. I can’t believe that after all these years we’re finally getting what amounts to a personal guild bank but there’s a huge cost to get full use out of it.
Why the hell are they incapable of just doing something nice for us? Just once?
Well, at least that’s more reasonable than just making it a flat total. Still, I don’t see many people getting past tab 3.
END GAME GOLD GRIND IS BACK ON THE MENU BOIS!!!
So I guess this is the new end game gold grind huh? It used to be flying/epic flying and mounts but maybe now it’s warband bank slots.
I’ll probably never get the full unlock because grinding gold in this economy???
Oh hey, I just saw that our max character limit per account is increasing to 65 with the Dark Heart patch. Moar alts!
Speaking of spending money:
Currency sharing between account characters:
This is good, but a better step further is a currency exchange system, just like IRL.
You have 4 gazillion apexis crystals? You should be able to trade them for a percentage of another currency. If you want me to stay in the current expac, open up the systems in the previous expacs that force me to spend time in them.
I do like the direction things are going though. I feel like maybe someone is finally listening, it just seems like that person might have hearing problems. They hear us, but they aren’t hearing everything.
Start somewhere I suppose.
I honestly don’t see why we need to do stuff like warbands when just making reputation universal across characters would be easier and give us a better quality of life.
Yes, but then we wouldn’t be able to market it as a feature of the next expansion.
Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER of HATS!
