Welcome to Gaia! ::

M'kay found out something that irritates me about this new update that didn't occur to me before.
When I get doubles of certain items, I like to trade them over to my mules. To know which items to trade, I put them at the end of my inventory. Well, now that they're stacked, I have to search through my inventory to find the doubles I don't want on Alarias. So, yeah I'm ...liking this update less now.

Also, it doesn't seem to be stacking zOMG crafted items. Hrm...

EDIT:

scream Okay...now it seems if I send one of my doubles, it sends the one arranged first in my inventory and leaves the one that was at the end. This means that when I send a double, I'm going to have to go through and reorganize the items, putting them back where I'd already had them. stressed
I officially hate this update.

I mean that ...well like okay I have my inventory arranged a certain way. When I get new items, they are put at the bottom of the inventory. But, because of this stacking thing, it no longer shows the second item at the bottom. I have to search and find the first item. When I click it to send one of them as a gift, it takes away the first item and leaves the second double item (which is at the bottom of my inventory).
After the sending is complete, I have to take the item at the bottom and put it back where I'd had the first item...which got sent to my mule.

To avoid all this, I now must go to Organize Inventory and select the specific item I want to send.
The only problem with that is it takes forever to load and when the gift is sent, it sends me back to the My Inventory screen. It's all around just a huge pain now.

This would be easier to explain with pictures I think but, I'm not used to Windows 7 paint yet and screenshots are now ridiculously complicated for me. sad This is a bad day.

Yeah. And there are so many more useful things they could be working on. Like letting trades show your full inventory instead of limiting it to 800 items, which is why I have to use the gift sending feature in the first place.
It would save me so much time if I could just trade my items over but, no...
Have to do it one by one.

I am really beginning to dislike the feature as well, and kind of wish it was optional. I hate to b***h about any improvements they try to make, especially since soooo many people requested this, but it's driving me crazy.

I have a lot of items, but my inventory is (was) very organized. I have my own organization system that works extremely well for me. It used to be easy to sort out the DC junk or gifts I'd bought for friends or gifts I'd received from everything else; they stayed at the bottom of my inventory, neatly separated from everything else.

Now, since there's a good chance I already own a copy of the item, I have to go through 6 pages of items looking for that little icon that indicates that I have multiples. It takes me a great deal longer to get rid of my junk, and since I already have to fight with the inventory arranger every time I want to trade anything, this is becoming a huge pain in the a**.

"Every scar is a lesson...

So far, my only complaint is that it only does it on the inventory page. Went to change my avi yesterday, and had a little over 300 pairs of Venus Embrace shoes staring me in the face.

Though, I imagine that stacking those would be bad for items that have multiple poses. Easy solution: Stick my crap back in the storage chest.

...Every battle a test of what you have learned."
