It was recently announced that bags would no longer be able to be placed on vendors. The motivation was to take action against the scam of people selling empty bags that were reported to have had expensive items inside the bag based on the vendor description of the bag. The team has since decided against this course of action based on player feedback to this change.fficeffice" />



The long term solution is to make items in containers viewable. That will take some time to accomplish. In the meantime, we are going to keep the ability to place bags on vendors and add a disclaimer to remind players to be mindful of how they make expensive purchases when purchasing a bag from a vendor.

If there has to be a compromise, this is a perfect solution. Thank you for not choosing to save us from ourselves on this one!

Excellent.


This solution makes so much more sense

And, as I always say, better to take your time doing it right than rushing to a quick-fix.

Good idea on the long term fix.


However, if you're going to leave bags in for now, you might want to add some sort of popup for bags in a vendor/on the bazaar for those people who don't read the forums. Don't know if this can be done, but it'll save you a lot of complaints from people who get scammed.
