People have being buying chests, drawers, dressers, closets, wardrobes, and other ‘containers’ that have zero storage in many other games for 20 years now. With very little issue selling them.

Funcom’s biggest mistake is offering any amount of functionality on bazaar items. If they had none since A1C1, then no one would have expected anymore. And these discussions would have never happened. Now we have people spending coins and expecting more function instead of cosmetics out of it.

Its time for them to rip the bandaid off, remove all functionality on paid items, take a firm cosmetic only stance, and call the bluffs.

But instead we get mistakes such as 200+ slot inventories and 70+ damage items that people feel entitled to. Giving false dopamine hits to the parts of the playerbase that really ought to be gatekept out.
