Hello folks,


I offer grab bags on my vendors, and use backpacks for these. But a few weeks ago I hear that we will no longer be able to list backpacks on vendors.


Has anyone heard anything new about this?


Thanks for your time

They recinded that plan after it was pointed out the issues it created for the crafters and merchants. They are trying to solve an issue of people being scammed by bags that proclaim to contain one thing but actually contain nothing or some other item of lessor value. They are working on a system of allowing you to see what is in the container.

What Doc said.


Score one for the merchant community (and the player base in general). Almost everyone was against this change. And it opened the eyes of the developers so hopefully they might consider some other means for private party sales.

No..you were going to get rattedout by a very remorseful correspondant who would have had to alert the Devs to an exploit in their backpack rule..luckily they saw the light before I had to betray your entrepreneurial spirit.
