So we can't sell a backpack with stuff in it come patch...but can people still offer backpacks with stuff in them at least? I'd be happy with just that at least, so for instance the guy supplying my vendors with armor can drop a suit of armor in a backpack, I buy it on the vendor, pull the stuff out of it, and put it up individually...

Is this being taken away too??

Cannot quote you the post, but something I read today said TRADING non-empty packs will also be removed. Really doubt they'd let folks offer what cannot be sold or transferred any other way.

I don't have a link but check the In Testing board and look at the patch notes threads for publish 7. It was in one of the patches from last week.

I have asked about this and several other correspondants have as well but we don't have a response about it yet. I'm not sure what problem they are solving with this fix though there is speculation on a number of issues.

Sounds to me like they're trying to solve the same problem all the other changes address: Reduce server load by mindlessly altering game mechanics till people quit.

I hear in Publish 8 you're going to have to drag individual credit coins from your inventory to the vendor to pay for things... and they use 1 volume each, non-stackable.

Here it is, Valu. This is pasted from the Test Center Update Notes from March 5th.

-------------------------------------------------------

Commodities Market/Vendors: Fix to no longer allow people to sell bags that are not empty on vendors.
Commodities Market/Vendors: Added error messages for attempting to sell items in trade windows, non-empty bags, and un-tradeable items like goggles and light sabres.

anyone know what happens to pre existing bags on vendors --

what sucks is i support the trade of krayt tissue on my vendor -- allot of the tisue comes through me -- i make others money etc ...

this is like taking a step back to the dark ages -

they are serial numbered items -- I say remove the serial numbers -- give us more lising options -- like naming our catagories

I am soooo angry

- it wil

welllllllll.....

since the new board format requieres you to read 100 different forums to follow an issue its hard to figure things out....

but here is what i could kind of pull from all the info.....

apparently people where putting FULL backpacks on the bazaar and on their vendors..using them for storage...

i havent tried it but it seems that it is theoretically possible to place full backpacks on the bazaar and just list them as an auction and unlist and relist...you could store up tp 1250 items this way...

on a vendor you basically have an infinate amount of storage using backpacks

this is really just a storage issue again

The actual reason turned out to be a Customer Service issue where people were buying the bags, getting ripped off then trying to get CSR's to reimburse them for it. They've decided to go with a warning message for now and try to make it so you can see the contents later (that is more difficult apparently because of the way things are stored in the vendor database)

When they introduce vendor item limits you will be able to get more space this way unless they change the vendor to take those item counts into effect. I haven't heard anything about that one way or the other. I doubt they thought much about it while they were discussing the item limits before.

Honestly, Doc, that was no surprise to me, I'd assumed as much all along.

I did too but I didn't want to "announce" that as the reason until they committed publically about the reason. It could have been a space thing but they are not usually as preemptive about database issue chagnes. The fastest way to get something on the schedule for a publish is to have it affect a lot of people and them flood CS with complaints about it.
