Exactly, who is going to put iron ore, silver, gold ore etc. into an LS bank when half the server needs them? Either you're skilling up on them, you sell them for profit so you can afford things you need or you'd put them in that LS bank where they'd be all taken by one person who sits there waiting for it. If they want ores they can grab a pickaxe and go get it, not expect others to go get it for them for free.

I prefer self sufficiency anyway and it's why I'm ranking up multiple crafts. I hate relying on others or having to beg people for synths even if it's people in my own LS. So I'm against LS banks in the context being asked here. LS banks should be for raid items only. The place you put your Dodore doublets and scimitars until someone with enough DKP wants one.
