Share Common Inventory (Destiny)

My opinion is hardening against the UI WRT multiple characters the more I use it.

I keep forgetting things. I've vaulted: helium, iron, and spinmetal. Switch characters, set destination, run to vault, picked up shit. Try to upgrade something: damn, forgot spirit bloom.

It took me two days to remember to transfer that faster sparrow to my huntress.

I know that I am prone to hyperbole but the current system is, dare I say it, fundamentally broken :-)

OK, it's not broken(ish) but it does suck and blow chunks. It is a user interface crime of epic proportions.

One easy fix for a portion of the suck would be to share inventory except for bounties and missions. I don't need to swap anything because it's always mine.

I mean, when it comes down to it - all that stuff IS mine. I sweated for every part of it. My alts are different characters but it is me, the player, who did the drudge to get that stuff. The player paid for the game. It has always been possible to share this stuff so I'm not asking for something new. I'm just asking for it to be easy. I think that is a reasonable request.

Currently the resource slots hold 200 items at a time. I suppose that is to avoid hoarding and make it easy to transfer chunks of stuff between characters rather than transferring it all.

I suggest that they up slot limits to 3x solo values and just have that stuff always available to every active alt. We haven't introduced hoarding problems, chunking is irrelevant if you don't need to move stuff around, and we have eased the users' pain.

I call that win.
