It's not that I'm too lazy to clean up, it's just that I don't really know what to throw away because I never know when I'll need a specific item for a quest. I know that probably 75% of the things in my storage have never had a use until now, and perhaps they never will, but it just annoys me so much to clear out a certain loot only to find out that it is a required item for a seasonal event later on.
But if increasing the limit causes us to crash then too bad.
