Anyone who has plenty of space (in my opinion) is deleting a lot of good stuff probably.

I 100% agree. Think about how the game is designed - to make you want to collect loot. Think about how many exotic armors there, now think about needing to have the same exotic armors but with different affinities so you're not locked out of play styles. Now think about having different versions with high stat rolls so you can try different builds that priorities different stats. Add in the same but with legendary armors. Now multiply that by three. Add in all the weapons on top of that with various rolls. You might have the same weapon with different rolls so you can use one in PVE and one on PVP. You might even have other versions of that same weapon just for GM's because the perks suit that. You might have some weapons that aren't good now but you suspect they might be in the future. Really, 500 spaces is far to small.

Constant nerfs and buffs and changes to the meta are what make me reluctant to delete stuff. Nothing worse than finding out your previous 'junk' is now this season's God roll (like Linear Fusion Rifles, which I had kept few of before this season). And now there are armor and guns dedicated to Stasis, and if you use all three Guardian types you have even more issues. I ruthlessly delete stuff all the time but after some new event or season beginning the same problem comes up again. So yes, vault space is an irritant that needs some attention.

I get that I’m a weapon hoarder. I’ve got 3 years worth of trophies sitting in my vault. The problem is that this is a game about loot. It’s the same gripe I have with boarderlands. Vault space needs to be proportional to the amount of weapons in the game. Destiny now has over 800 guns. Around 250 are Y1 static rolls or low rarity. That leaves 550 slots minimum, not even counting armor. Even if it was just 100 slots, it’s something I’d spend silver on just to not have to worry about it for a few more months.

Vault space is a problem, which is exacerbated by the armour affinity and mods for them. For some exotic armor I have 5 or even 6 of the same one depending on the mods I need to use for the activity, and the stat distribution for other pieces of armor with different affinities needed. If I have a perfect distribution for my void chest, but need an arc damage resist, I need to change 3-4 armor pieces to balance it out. While the simple solution would point towards adding more vault space, the bigger issue is armor affinity. Allowing you to masterwork a piece of gear with multiple affinities would considerably decrease the need for a lot of armor in the vault. I clear items in the vault roughly once a week, and have deleted most of my sunset seasons besides a handful that I still use periodically in basic content for fun. There are plenty of weapons that I am saving for their time to shine, sandbox/ seasonal mods... and there are also somewhat situational rolls, where if I wear an exotic to take advantage of its strengths or makeup for a weakness...

If someone doesn’t have a problem with vault space, why would they argue against an increase? Makes no sense. Maybe some are offering inventory control ideas in lieu of an increase. Maybe some are just trolling

For a game whose meta changes usually once a season or at least once every couple, it's impossible to forsee what weapons might be good later on and you'll be kicking yourself for not keeping them. They add new weapons every season, seasonal AND reprised. Then you have a boatload of weapons everytime there's an expansion or raid or a dungeon. We're getting the 25th anniversary dungeon with weapons, then witch queen plus season 16 plus the raid. They said we're getting a new or reprised dungeon or raid every season this year. Even if all your vault management dreams came true for all the "hoarders" there's no way you can justify 500 slots for that amount of gear and I haven't even mentioned armor yet. They're giving us 3 NEW exotics every season and they're starting to buff old ones now. Then there's a NEW elemental affinity this season in addition to the three we already have. Once we get new darkness subclasses there will inevitably be two more. People have already mentioned wanting to have armor for builds so I won't even go into that. Given all that information it is completely reasonable, if not imperative, that we get more space and if you don't understand that then good on you I guess. If it doesn't affect you then you shouldn't have an argument against it. You're entitled to your opinion but all those facts I listed above doesn't support them. If you're good using a few guns and 1 or two builds on one character and that's fun for you? Awesome. You don't define fun for the rest of us though. Move along.

Justify it.....because your reasons aren't enough. They're valid reasons but not enough to Justify boosting the vault space currently.

Do you actively use every weapon type in the game? No? Delete it. I don't use shotguns, so I don't keep them. Hand cannons? Gone. If you don't use it, Don keep it.

At least we don't have to sacrifice a child to switch elements on a masterworked piece of armor... oh wait

For all the people bringing up weapon crafting... Do you know how it is going to work yet? Do you know what the overall cost (time and materials) will be to build the best possible roll out of what options we are given? Do you know what options we will be given? I wouldn't go getting excited just yet. Look at how transmog has been done and how much people were freaking out when it finally did happen. I personally have no issues with the way transmog was set up and I probably will have no issues with how weapon crafting works but these forums have proven time and time again that weapon crafting will be disappointing for those who are currently excited about it. I hope I'm wrong.
