Shared Inventory Slots are now available starting at 700 gems each in the Upgrade category of the Gem Store. These slots will allow an item placed in them to be accessible by any character on the account. These slots will appear at the top of your inventory once purchased. Each account can have up to 5 Shared Inventory Slots at this time.

That seems a little steep in price.....

The new raid wings are being released at an embarrassingly slow rate, and I say this as a person that doesn't even raid. Doesn't WoW release raid wings in 2-week increments? (LFR mode excluded)

Edit: HoT in general seems like an exercise in the developers desperately trying to buy more time by delaying implementations of content. It's a real bummer, and it casts a pall over an otherwise delightful game.

I don't have much time to play right now, and having to spend 5 minutes of my hour play session to move my copper fed salvage tool (that I already paid gems for) around is really dumb. This is on top of already tedious bag, item, and loot management that is just padded gameplay time. They should give everyone a single slot and make the other slots gem store upgrades.

I am not enjoying the expansion. Sorry Tivac :(

What, so the 700 gems is the price of ONE shared inventory slot? I somehow thought it was the price of 5, and then you could buy more at increments of 5... oh, silly, silly me.

On one hand those slots are good because you can put something like your copper fed salvage thing there and share amongst all alts therefore never having to buy or carry separate salvage kits again.

On the other hand I agree completely that this is total load of poo poo to charge really steep prices for a basic quality of life feature like this.

Not really, wow raids take months to release and LFR content is generally existing content that's been adjusted once the "hardcores" have burned through it.

Raids haven't even been out for 2 months yet, so expecting to get another wing now is unrealistic.

It's really intended for the dumb amount of zone specific keys when you have multiple characters: Crowbars, Auric Keys, Chak Acid, Machetes, Zephyrite Keys, Bandit Chest keys.

No you're thinking of the yet to be released 2800 gem key ring, which is like a wallet for keys (new ones will not be added to it).

I mean when they release a raid proper, whether in a major content patch or an expansion launch, the wings get rolled out in two-week increments. (LFR mode gets the content delayed in longer intervals) Then when all the wings are exhausted, the players need to wait for the next major content patch or expansion launch. Did I get that schedule wrong?

Honestly I'm mostly pissed about the pricing on these shared inventory slots

Getting all five of them costs as much as getting HoT



E: On one hand this is outrageously loving expensive, on the other hand I kinda get it because if I got them I would never have any desire to buy extra sets of any of the gem store utility poo poo I have on my main character that I really like having easy access to. My girlfriend has two sets of gathering tools because she hates swapping her stuff back and forth and it's a similar cost to get 5 slots as it is to get another set of gathering tools. My rationalization that makes me slightly less mad is that they're pricing it around losing a future gem store sales on stuff. I'm still not buying them unless they drop to like literally half (or less) of the current price, but I kiiiind of get why they're so expensive.
