[BUG] Items stacking in Guild bank and itemization that doesn't stack issues.

Wreaken

So at the current moment, what I have noticed is happening, people who stack the same item in the Guild Bank are having their stacks stack individually instead of into one pool of items until they reach the limit and then start a new stack. It is extremely frustrating getting all the stacks out and force stacking them only to put them back and clear up 100+ slots in your bank because of this every day or two.

Secondly, Glyphs take up an enormous amount of space due to not being able to be stacked. Can we have Glyphs implemented to become a stackable Enchanting consumable please?

Harkrider

Stackable glyphs would be nice.

Arsenic_Touch

Agreed. They need to add guild bank slots for purchase as well.

I notice I pick up certain items like the jazbay grapes in my bank, some have 0 value and wont stack with the rest.

This is a higher level ingredient. Theres no reason one should have 0 value and the rest do.

This was done to tutorial items, but later in the game? And can style items have a vendor price? I destroy them now as a result(common races... have a stack of primal I cant use...).

If it is a tier based issue, it doesn't seem to effect it when I force them to stack.

I'm the sucker who ends up going through the bank every few days and fixing it, too. I just...my OCD is screaming when I see 10 separate "stacks" of 1-5 crawdads. ._.

Wreaken

I feel your pain too Tiriels.

So we confirmed that when people put the same item in to the Guild bank, it creates a separate stack for each person.

Now what happens is, when that person puts more of that same item in to the guild bank, they stack on their stack only, not with other peoples.

The people who have access to remove items have to take all those items out and force stack them, then add them back in.

Frustrating as hell.

Yeah, this is very frustrating. Especially when you consider they halved the guild bank space from 1k slots in beta to 500. If you don't constantly force stack all materials every day or so the bank gets completely filled. I'm a huge fan of the game but I really hope they start addressing all these niggling and persistent quality of life and phasing issues soon.

Maybe tonight's patch will address this?

Shaester

Tonight's patch : "Changed the functionality of auto-stacking in guild banks. You will now have to stack items in your inventory before placing them in the guild bank." I must be missing something.. this just doesn't make sense to me. Surely we don't have to search the bank for items we want to deposit, withdraw them, stack them, then deposit them ? No one will want to deposit any more.

It's a band aid solution to an item duping bug. Hopefully a more sensible solution will occur or guild banks will fill up quickly and need constant maintenance. It was already a headache due to stacking bugs in our tiny guild.

Wreaken

Well you only have to do it once, because the items currently in the bank are not going to stack themselves, so just remove them, stack them, put them back and then any further stacks you apply to the bank will just simply top them up.

My guild has sent dozens of bug reports requesting they fix the guild bank stacking, since many of us were investing hours doing nothing but manually stacking items.

This is ridiculous.

EQBallzz

Is there ever going to be any word on a fix for this? I spend about 20% of my total play time fighting with the guild bank. Every item in the bank has about 5 different incomplete stacks..filling the bank up every hour or two. Then when you try to withdraw the stuff to manually stack it..the bank is unresponsive and it takes an hour to get the stuff out and put it back. This is getting quite aggravating.

1) the reason jazbay grapes aren't stacking for some is that there are two different ingrediants both named jazbay grapes. one is a common ingediant, sells for 0, the other is a rare ingredient, sells for 1. Each is used in different recipes. Wish ZOS would change the name of one, or give some indication that they are not the same.

2) there is an addon now that helps with stacking, available at esoui. makes life much easier for us crafters addon is called stacker and I haven't found any problems with it.

EQBallzz

Since it looks like this may never get fixed I thought I would post an addon that I found called Fatstacks that you can get from ESOUI. It's not perfect but with a command the addon will remove stacks from the guild bank, stack them and deposit them back. It's much faster than doing it manually, though can be somewhat slow due to the inherent laggy nature of the guild bank. The lag can also trip it up and interrupt it when it gives the "item not found" message but it's easy enough to just submit the command again.

Until they get this sorted out (if ever?) I would highly recommend this addon to preserve your sanity (and bank space).

Wreaken

While I agree, that Add-on does look pretty good, the fact is you should not have to rely on add-on's to fix a common feature that should simply work without the band aid fix of an addon.

If we let them start relying on add-on's as fixes, they will continue to do it and not fix anything and before you know it, you are running 20+ add-on's just to play the game the way it should be able to be played without them.
