The reason that Essences take up space, like a real item, is because the Crafting System is designed in such a way that it can use other real items to craft stuff. This leaves the door open for a lot of exciting future developments. For example, maybe we allow you to take several Bronze Chests and combine them to make a Silver Chest?

Of course, this is all just talk at this point and none of the ideas I have expressed here are in development.

It does have the wrinkle of making inventory space and management more of an issue, which the Dev Team is aware of.
Quick thought, maybe related. The 70 plat bundle should also include some stash slots. Not sure why it does not. Just saying.
