Bags/Sacks/boxes

[Eshaac]

<p>Here's a thought....</p><p> We have all done this... One of our alts needs some rare stones/ore for his/her adept3's.  So we take our high lvl and start harvesting... some times for hours, some times not.  But we all end up with a bag or 2 of raws we just don't need.  We don't want to bother selling them on the broker cause there are 20 other people selling the raws and they all selling for 1c each.  Bah, who wants to get in line hoping that the buyer will pick them to purchase all them raws.  So we right click each and every stack and select delete.  Now if we have a few bags full of da stuff.. how time consuming a task.  </p><p>But what if there was an option on the bag/sack/box when ye right clicked it that said, "delete all contents" so you select this option and a popup appears saying "please open the bag/sack/box and verify all the contents are to be deleted" and on this popup window are 2 buttons one saying yes, and the other no/cancel.  However those buttons are not active until you actually open the bag/sack/box.  Now by not allowing the buttons to be active until the bag/sack/box is open ye are saving the problem of someone accidentally deleting an item they did not want to destroy and there by eliminating the claim to cs about what ya destroyed by accident.</p><p>Now wouldn't that be a time saver for everyone.... </p><p> Turzen aka Heppy splitpaw.</p>

I'd find something like this convenient. Some other things I'd like to see: - If I try to move a full bag into another, I'd like it if a prompt would pop up, "Move contents?". If I hit "Yes", it would move everything in the bag I'm moving into the other bag, up to capacity limits. - I'd really like to be able to right click on an item in inventory and mark it Not for Sale.  On occasion I've accidentally sold something I meant to keep, and if I could have marked it when I was thinking about keeping it I could have saved myself... from myself. <img src="/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Also would mitigate some of the futzing time trying to make sure I'm marking the right inventory item Not for Sale in the merchant window.

<p>What I would like to see is a consolidate option for the shared slots in the bank.  I have ebon boxes in the shared slots and I find I have mulitiples of the same item in different locations.  Giant finger in one box, 2 in another box, and another in the last box.  Want to talk about a time sink, cleaning out the bank takes hours to sort through and make it useable again.</p><p>But to the idea of delete whole contents, I am going to have to disagree because of rares.  Just looking at the bag it is hard to tell which ones are rare, if I spent hours harvesting, then I will have a few in my bags.</p>

To me that is waisting time.  And as for having a few rares.. I and I am speaking for meself take the first rare I get out and place in one bag and keep all the rares in the same bag.. so when I get another it goes to that same bag.  When I am finished they are all in one place and not in all the other bags etc..... That one moment it takes me to place the rare in that bag, in turn saves me lots of time I'd have spent going through all me other bags to see what I have...

How about going to the root of the porblem and offering a merchant to buy and sell harvestables for 1c a piece?

The day after they would make a change like this someone would post " SOE can I get a refund for my relic Bp?  I accidentally deleted it while harvesting/crafting cause I was wearing my artisans tunic".  The only way I could see this as a possibility is if the option was only added to the bag from the Village of Shin that only allows harvestables inside of it.

"making the yes and no option <b><u>only</u></b> avail <b><u>if</u></b> the bag <b><u>is opened</u></b> there by the person being able to see it's contents and making sure this does not happen.  If it does then it to bad for that person for doing even though they can see it in the bag/sack/box..

<p>I just drag them into empty space and click ok. Goes pretty fast that way.</p><p>I also think adding a delete bag contents option would be a bad idea. To this day we still have people accidently selling things on the broker do to lag or clicking too quickly. Imagine the problems if someone accdiently clicked the wrong bag, opened it, lagged, and "clicked" yes instead of no.</p>

I prefer the current system.

<p>they could make a HQ quest "Large Sewing Kit" from EQ1 and when you put items in it press combine and it can distory them all for ya!</p><p>[Removed for Content] i miss those things.</p>

But just because it not a good idea for "you" to use does not mean others might not like it.  I personally would rather think then not.  If you are to tired to think then go ta bed.. hahhaha. but seriously.. Just because an option is there, does not mean you have to use it.

Long time deleter here, but I recently began selling any raws on the broker.... you would be surprised.

[Tuetatesu]

<p>I think the current system is fine.  Does not take to long to drag the item in to space and click delete.</p><p>And personally I'd rather them focus on bigger fish and add other features.  </p><p>No disrespect to what you suggested it's an ok idea.  Cept... if your going to focus on just deleting harvestables why not just make a right click that says...  "Delete all common Harvestable in Bag?".  Then and confirm.</p><p>This way it only deletes common harvestables, not rares, and only harvestables, not items, in the bag in two clicks.</p>
