If it would only be weapons/gear like in most others arpgs or rpgs in general it wouldn’t matter much but the game has a big emphasis on crafting and gathering i avoid using the chest altogether currently because i dont want to walk to it every time i want to craft something
Go vendor/smith etc
Remember what i needed
Go to community chest
Fiddle around with inventory space
Go back to vendors/smith
Thats just not a fun gameplay loop and leads to me simple not collecting anything BUT the items i need for town upgrades or gear upgrades/crafting i want to do currently
