Very happy about this, a good decision from the dev team, remember guys, fix, dont nerf

The problem is a nerf is in the eyes of the beholder as it were... what I belive to be a fix (warcry/panic shot) you might consider a nerf.

(I really don't want to get into this but in response to the inevitable... I liked the way it worked... but it was unbalancing. Do you really expect to sit and pound on something for 10-20 seconds with no chance of it getting up or retaliating? If critters did this to you how would you like it? Turnabout is fair play as far as i'm concerned. Before you ask I'm a Master Smuggler.)

This is the first I've heard of this but good job with the decision. It would have been very inconvenient if you had put in this restriction.

I was kinda hoping for this change to prevent people from having a bag called "my resources" on thie vendor for 99999999999

To those that one stared me, is this not an issue? Vendors are not meant for storage of a persons resources. Bags are one way to get around that easily.

I'd really like them find a better way for selling groups of items, and custom orders.

Well I don't scam the system like this. But I DO use bags to categorize my items. I like using bags because they're renameable if I change the category name or if the color code drops off somehow. I tried putting these up for 100K but several people bought the empty bags by accident.

Thank you.

Good move! It would have caused a lot of trouble to solve a minor problem.

The invisibility of the contents of a bag can be a positive in some situations. For delivery of an order it works well, because it discourages others from interfering if they like the product/price. For a few weeks not long after the system went live, I would make packs and sell them labled "grab bag" for a little more than average pack prices. I filled them up with what Iwould otherwise have destroyed as grind products (bofa treats, etc.). They seemed to do pretty well, and I never got any complaints. I really liked that because I hated to destroy my products in the days before Practice.

Visible contents would be a nice option for things like armour packages. I bought some armour the other day from an unknown vendor. I wouldn't have bought a pack of invisible contents from him, but the dozens of clicks required to examine, purchase and retrieve each piece was irritating. It would have been nice in a transparent package.

Lots of stuff couldbe marketedwell that way, but armour is a special case because of the need to keep a set together.

It is good to see player feedback taken into account so successfully. I will remember this example with as much conviction as I do the pet calling restriction fiasco.
