Yes, players (people in general) have a tendency to place less value on the things they have an abundance of. An FC chest with something like 500 slots per tab will see more and more of crap items placed in there. Things like niche mats, common minions, furnishings, low level pots, among other things that benefit absolutely no one. Let alone the FC as a whole. Anyone who has ever felt there is nothing but useless junk and/or one or two people in the FC use the chest as an extension of their personal inventory will only see this issue exacerbated with more slots in the FC chest.

Things like this are brought up during development, and while SE's foresight isn't exactly the best, something like "How many slots, and how many tabs do we give the FC chest?" is an unavoidable task. They give us so many, and the rest they really rely on the playerbase to manage themselves. They can't just stop adding new items, but they also can't just keep increasing inventory space as they do. Players and FC's need to determine what items have a value high enough to keep stock. Everything else is tossed. Every slot is extremely valuable.
