Quality of life improvement (stash)

The problem: blizzard designed all these great legendaries but we have no space to keep them. Now that i cant just get what i need from the AH i am keeping more items that i dont have or see an immediate use for. I want to collect all the set pieces for all 6 classes and specific legendaries but there just isn't enough space.

Currently i have Each primary stat sharing a stash tab and that leaves the last tab for gems. This means each class only gets 1/2 a stash tab. I think this issue was overlooked.

There are 2 possible solutions i see:

1) expand the stash to 7 tabs so that each class gets a stash tab and have 1 extra tab for crafting mats, gems, and miscellaneous.

2) create a legendary / set item showcase or armory that will allow us to store 1 of every legendary /set item. This storage would be separate from the stash space. Any items beyond the first of each type could be kept in the stash along with other miscellaneous items

Personally i prefer option 2 because how i envision it would be very organized. You could click on a button / list item for bracers much like in the game guide on the website and it would bring up all of the bracers you have stored so you could see exactly what you have and what you need.

Id like to hear yalls thoughts and if you are experiencing similar stash problems.

Thanks for the well written feedback on stash space. I plan on bringing it up at our next meeting, so it's going to be passed along. In the meantime I want to point out something else we have previously mentioned, and is slightly related in the sense that it will impact the amount of items in your stash space.

We are currently working on some different ways to help streamline the process of picking up, storing, and using crafting resources. The result is that a lot of the crafting materials will no longer be stored in your stash, and that space will be freed up for other things. I'll quote one of my previous posts to give you a little more details on the subject.

All crafting materials would be moved to a currency-style storage in the UI. Think something similar to Blood Shards.
All crafting materials would become auto pickup, except for LEGENDARY crafting material. (Legendary crafting material would still be automatically stored as a currency, but players must click on it to pick it up.)
All crafters would pull crafting materials from this storage area for recipes.
Crafting materials that the player doesn’t currently own would appear in grey text with a 0 counter.
Players could mouse over the icons of all crafting material to get the full tooltip of the item. This includes greyed out ones.
Currently, we do not intend to store gems in this way because it would make socketing items feel clunky.

Note that this is all still a work in progress and thus subject to lots and lots of iteration.
