After a while getting used to not being able to open containers until gettingthisclosetothem or hopping on top of bookcases to get the sacks on top etc...

Are there any containers /resources that you just flat-out can't reach now (even with lots of gymnastics and weird angles), that you could previously get into?

(On a side note, dare we hope this was a marginally effective anti-bot measure that they might undo in a future patch?)

    Realism?
    I have to stand a meter or closer to anything I want to open in real life.

    More probably bot prevention, no not stopping bots from farming but force them to go closer, making it easier to spot the ones who stop at the same position each time.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I don't understand, what changed about containers?

    I just wish I could open those raised overhead cupboards without pushing a desk across the room, standing on a stack of books on top of it and jump up and down spamming the " e" key.

    I had a quest to remove harpy eggs scattered around a town. Many of them were on ledges and overhangs. You simply could not reach several of them! I am sure they were easy to grab back in the day, but not now. Thankfully, you needed to remove 4 of about 10 scattered around town, so I just removed the ones that were easily reached. It was annoying to do all that jumping and running and twisting before I realized you did not need to retrieve all of them, just a certain number. So, not quest-breaking, but really close.

    It was noticeable to first day the change took effect, but I have long since adapted to it now.

    There is nothing I haven't been able to reach because of it. When I played a woodelf I would have some trouble reaching activators even before the change, so I don't think the change actually changed anything there.

    One of the patches pushed a change that greatly reduced the area around it where you would get the "Open" cursor. In most cases, an annoyance but no biggie, but due to the odd placement of some of them, it presents a challenge getting your character withing the sweet spot to loot it.
