Storage space and Custom Hats/Gears

[demishock]

You do realise heRO's 1000 storage limit is also custom, right?

On officials, it's 600, or 900, if you pay to play the premium servers.
They also have gears there we can't get here.

The "I need more storage space because we have CUSTOM items, and officials don't" is silly.

Government, pl0x upgrade my house because I have too many newspapers, and don't want to throw any out. I'm a collector, and they're custom!

Yes, I know it's custom. I was just trying to point out that the original post seemed to be about custom gears, when a lot of what I saw being discussed was hoarding vs. selling loot items. As The Legendary Joe pointed out, there are a fair number of people who collect gears (especially hats) for the sake of collecting them, so I can see where that would lead to a lot of storage space being taken up.

I still don't see how raising the amount of storage space for people who want more is in any way detrimental to people who don't need more. It helps one group and doesn't affect the other, as far as I can tell.

No, the government's not going to upgrade someone's house, but they can certainly move to a new one if they need more space. The difference here is that we, the players, have no control over the amount of space ourselves, and therefore have to ask the GMs to do something about it.

I don't have a problem with the amount of space we have now, but I'm also not opposed to having more. Unfortunately, as Circe pointed out, it's not possible without errors, so it is what it is. At this point I'm only arguing it because I honestly don't see what the big deal is.
