ARR UI question

[Rutelor]

Visual representation of your inventory, but I don't really understand the point of it yet.

Don't you see the advantage of having readily available information about the status of your bags on your desktop? Among other things it will allow you to learn, from a simple glance at your heads-up display, the exact amount of storage you have available; this way, you'll know whether you need to dump or npc-vendor stuff before (or during) a fight in which important drops could be lost because of lack of space. All of this without having to constantly open your inventory window or install an add-on to tell you about it. This feature alone makes the new UI a huge improvement from my vantage point.

This without mentioning that it will also let you discern, with one simple look at the HUD, the types of items you're carrying in your bags, by means of those simple color coded dots.
