Devil's advocate (Destiny)

Really? One slot is 'clogging up your inventory'? (You have 24 slots in your vault, plus a potential 30 more in characters - a total of 54 slots that these coins can fit into... so one slot is less than 2% of your available space. You'd call that 'clogging'?)

Edit: My bad, you have 15 slots per character for Consumables, not 10 - so the total is 69, not 54. The coins take up a bit under one and a half percent of the space available.

1. You shouldn't have to spin up new characters that you don't play in order to store stuff for the one character you do play. (not to mention you can't just spin them up, you have to play the first level before you even get to the tower)
2. There are more unique items that can go in those slots than there are total slots.
3. If you run multiple characters, the convenience of having some items split up (consumables) between characters is incredibly useful, and a use case given Bungie's addition to the Destiny app.
Snipe Edit 4. Let's say you wanted to move all 4 of your glimmer consumables to any one of your 3 characters, and do it in game. That means that all characters AND the vault need to have 4 free slots in order to keep from doing massive juggling. That means you need 4x4=16 free slots.

So, given that, you now throw in one more item. You aren't working with 96 open slots, you're working with a handfull of free slots, and every slot missing decreases your ability to manage items the way you'd like. So I'd back him in saying that one less slot is "clogging". With all the new things that hit my inventory I found myself jumping around for 15 minutes trying to free up space just so that I could except rewards.

And at the end of the day, I think we'd all agree that asking Bungie for the ability to delete items from inventory isn't an outrageous request :)
