Potency runes only stack to 20

Potency runes are the ONLY crafting item that doesn't stack to 100. They only stack to 20. This can't be intentional.
Crafters already have a a VERY hard time with bank space. Requiring 5 bank spaces where only 1 should be required is not acceptable.
I don't know why I even bothered to make this post though. It's a simple fix, requiring changing a 20 to a 100. So instead of taking 3 seconds to fix it, ESO will send it to the bottom of the "non-game-breaking quick-simple fix to look at when the moon turns purple" pile.

✭✭✭While it's true, and has been true since day 1, is it actually that big of a problem? I very rarely have more than 20 potency runes of the same kind. When I do, I try to spend/sell them, because I certainly don't need that many. The only ones I had stack up really high were Rank 1 because I picked them up farming Bleakrock(non-vet), but now I don't do that.
Enchanting does that odd thing to your bank space, but imo potency rune stacking is by far not the worst of it;)
EDIT: And I'm vet 6 with my enchanting at 39, so yes, I know all about how bad it gets.Edited by Magdalina on June 10, 2014 8:47PM0 -
Sadae✭✭✭@Magdalina - So what?! The same could be said for ANY crafting ingredient. I have less than 20 Dreugh Wax, so it doesn't need a stack size of 100 then.

Sadae✭✭✭Wow, ZOS can take the time to edit comments, but not the 3 seconds to change a 20 to a 100. Ya like that's any surprise.2

It looks like you said smth exceptionally nice to me, thank you, I'm flattered:)@Magdalina - So what?! The same could be said for ANY crafting ingredient. I have less than 20 Dreugh Wax, so it doesn't need a stack size of 100 then.

The only thing I can think of that differs Potency runes from Dreugh Wax is it can only be used for certain level. I guess they thought 20 was enough(personally, I think it is, I'm sorry if you're having problems with it).
Also, I have more than 20 Dreugh Wax, I feel cool now:D

EVERY crafting item in the game stacks to 100 expect Potency runes. It can't be that hard to change them to match everything else.
But the folks at ESO have proven countless times over and over that they are incompetent. Almost every time they change something they break two other things. And when the game was released with literally thousands of little problems, they spend all their time breaking more stuff then they fix.
It's easy for most people to overlook the small things and just see the more serious problems, but as an experienced programmer of over 25 years I see the signs all over the place. The code for this game is SOOOO bad I shudder to look under the hood.
And because there's so many problems with this game, things like the Potency rune stack size never get addressed because they're too busy with game-breaking stuff. And ESO doesn't realize it's all the bazillion little things that frustrate people in the end and make them quit.
@Magdalina - I don't think 20 is enough. I don't think that ONE item type should be singled out and only have 1/5 the stack size. There's no logic to it. I'm sorry you're too #@%$ to see that.2 -

Me, too.Also, I have more than 20 Dreugh Wax, I feel cool now:D
The problem is that it's not the only type of item that works that way. Every ore/ingot, raw material/cloth, and raw wood/planks are also only used for certain level ranges of items, and they all stack to 100. So, why don't the runes? Near as I can tell, there is no reason. It almost feels like an oversight, as though they originally intended to only allow stacks of 20, then, when they decided to change the stack size to 100, they forgot to change the runes.The only thing I can think of that differs Potency runes from Dreugh Wax is it can only be used for certain level. I guess they thought 20 was enough(personally, I think it is, I'm sorry if you're having problems with it).
@Sadae - You really should calm down. Not ignoring the little things is one thing, but this issue is nowhere near big or bad enough to warrant your aggressive reactions toward other posters. I understand that you're annoyed at Zeni's failures and people backing them up regardless all the time, but you raging is helping not a thing.
Also...
Really? An "experienced programmer of over 25 years" and you still say things like this? You very well know that the people who handle the forums have nothing to do with the development team. They probably don't even have access to the code. Zeni is not a singular entity, it's split up into teams. The few seconds it took for the forum moderators to edit the post couldn't have been used to fix this issue, anyway.Wow, ZOS can take the time to edit comments, but not the 3 seconds to change a 20 to a 100.

Sadae✭✭✭@Vandril - Yes, and yes. But I think most people playing this game have experienced extreme frustration at times. When they released Craglorn and nerfed the DK Talons skill they also managed to break one of it's morphs to use twice the magicka, killing our mana pool so that the skill is just unusable. I've been unable to do group play for a month now because of this, and I am at my breaking point with these guys. I'm just so tired of all the incompetence around here.4

Sadae✭✭✭So what does it take to get this addressed? There is no reason or logic for this ONE SINGLE crafting ingredient to not stack to 100 like all the other ones. It's not like this should be difficult to fix.1

Arizona_Willie✭✭✭How about scattering a few more Aspect runes? This craft is virtually useless because those are so rare. Even the hireling never ( or hardly ever ) brings those back.If I wanted a Signature I would have a Signature --- but i don't want one so I don't have one.1

RagnarSS✭I just spoke to the in game customer service about this and they are aware of it and are bringing in a fix for it.0

Mix✭✭✭✭✭
✭Looking forward to this change:) I have over 20 of the potency found in vet levels because they span so many levels.
@Arizona_Willie I find that my hireling at 3/3 brings me aspect runes quite often, is your hireling at 3/3?0 -
Arizona_Willie✭✭✭No, Mix, I'm not at 3/3 ,,, points are precious
and survival is difficult. Most points go to making the character tougher and more survivable.
And since there is no guarantee what or how many items the hireling will bring back ( if any ... apparently sometimes you get NOTHING ) I hesitate to put precious points into the hireling. But my toon is only level 30 and I have started searching for skyshards instead of questing in order to grab as many relatively easy points as I can.Looking forward to this change:) I have over 20 of the potency found in vet levels because they span so many levels.
