Not every MMORPG inventory system is built the same, with some being an outright headache to use and some designed smartly to be something approaching enjoyable. And then there’s Bethesda’s scrolly scrolly format that assumes you’re using a console and controller because PCs don’t exist. Or something.
OK, it’s not time to grouse about inventories — that’s low-hanging fruit, my friend — but rather to praise the features that make these systems actually good and useful. What are inventory elements you’ve seen that are actual boons to players? Is it auto-sorting and -filtering? Is it easily identifiable icons and tooltips? Is it the ability to remotely transfer to and from your bank? Or something else entirely?
