Suggestion for Guild Banks + Craft Bags

link52

I'm on PS4, btw, if it matters.

Items don't automatically stack together in guild banks like they do in player banks, so instead of stacking together upon deposit, there will be several smaller stacks just sitting in guild banks. Like I'll see stacks of 4 Kura, 8 Kura, 27 Kura, 15 Kura, all sitting next to each other... these items have to be removed from the guild bank, stacked in the player inventory, then deposited back into the guild bank. Most players either don't realize this, or just don't care, so I used to spend maybe 5-10 minutes restacking for a couple of my guilds. Kind of annoying, but whatever, it was a small price to pay for having access to items when I needed them, or being able to share surplus items.

Until the DB update, and craft bags. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the craft bag. It's made my ESO life so much easier. Except with the guild banks. I found out the hard way, while restacking for my guild, that craft items pulled from the guild bank immediately get moved to the craft bag. I didn't find this out until I had pulled almost 100 smaller stacks out of the guild bank to restack. I had to go to the guild bank history, add up how much of each item that I had pulled out, manually pull it out of my craft bag, and deposit it back into the guild bank. I don't want to spend all of that time and effort just to deal with other people's disorganization, so one of my guilds has had a full bank account for several days now.

So my suggestions are:
1.) Please please PLEASE make items auto-stack in the guild bank, like they do in player banks. PLEASE.
2.) Maybe allow higher stack limits within guild banks, similar to the craft bags, where it continues to stack above 200 in the bank, but you can pull items out in the usual 200 stack.
3.) Make it so items pulled out of a guild bank aren't automatically transferred to the craft bag, and instead have to be manually moved over.

Seconded.

The moment they allow this, people will start item duplication again.

The reason items are not auto stacked in the guild bank is because Zenimax did not know how to fix the item duplication bug in beta and at launch. So they simply disabled auto stacking in the guild banks.

I wasn't aware of the item duplication issue. I'd still like at least the third suggestion to be considered. I'm fine with manually stacking items myself, but unfortunately it's very time consuming when I have to keep track of everything that I withdraw, then retrieve it from my craft bag, then deposit them again.

In one of my guilds, a lot of us who used to do restacking, won't any more because we have ESO. In my other guild that I restack for, I love them but they're a bunch of animals when it comes to the guild bank - it's not uncommon for me to free up 100+ slots just from restacking every other day.

Agreed OP.

Coming soon to a guild near you, Guild Craft bank. For just 5k crowns members can purchase a Khajiit "worker" and choose to have the worker build a Guild Craft bank for your guild. To be full built it will take 20 workers donated from unique guild members.

The Guild Craft bank offers nearly unlimited storage space for crafting items, which will also stack on their own. The guild leader can also choose to allow some members access to the Guild Craft Bank while they are at crafting stations. In guild crafting has never been easier or more convenient.

But wait there's more. If you act now you will get two Khajiit "workers" for only 9,999 crowns. That's a savings of nearly 2 crowns. Supplies are limited. Be sure to have parents approval before using their credit card.

Necro'd thread, but this is still a major issue with craft bags.

I love my craft bag, but the automatic material "vacuum" feature definitely needs an "off switch" somewhere that can be toggled for things like this.
