Meh, I will not be buying extra bank space through the General Store. The libertarian in me says that it's your prerogative to offer it to those willing to pay, so whatever. I'll get the bank spaces with loyalty points instead. I understand that maintaining servers costs money and bank slots take up server space--but I'm already paying a recurring subscription. So, loyalty points it is.
I would like to say, though, that I find it extremely disappointing that the General Store has moved beyond the realm of cosmetics (especially so quickly). I also find it rather disingenuous to say that bank spaces are not an in-game advantage. Ask any free player how they feel about the disparity between the number of bank spaces they have, and a member has. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to point out what a major advantage extra room is. I suppose my point here, is not to whine about how I don't have enough space, or that I deserve it for nothing, or whatever. But let's not pretend that it's not a game-play factor, because it is. In short, don't **** on our boots and then tell us it's raining.
