Game needs a "stack all" button

(Yes, another 'Your inventory is full.' thread)

When 1 found apple and 1 apple you just traded for weighs the exact same as 400 iron ingots it's a little ridiculous. Is it possible to add this after launch?

I miss the old weight system!

The only place items don't stack automatically is the Guild Bank, so if this is not happening anywhere other than there, it's likely a bug (or it's two items which are not actually the same).

No drag and drop on consoles, so there are a lot of times when loot gets split and stays split.

Spit loot in guild bank taken out stays split until you put it in your regular bank.

Some loot when split then traded stays split from items already owned when new player gets traded items. If Player A trades Player B all the lemons he has it is fine, and they will stack with player B's lemons, but if Player A splits his lemons and trades player B some, they will often stay split from Player B's existing lemons.

I've randomly had laundered items from a second stack when cleaned.

The only way to restack on consoles is to use your personal bank... and that is really clunky. On PC you can quick fix it by dragging 2 stacks together. There is a function that got missed in the translation to console.

That sounds like a bug.

Yeah I remember seeing that before. It would be alleviated if bugs like the one above were fixed, but I do agree with the OP's suggestion of a Stack All button. If that's not possible (but I don't know why it wouldn't be), then maybe in the context menu where you have "Split Stack" you could also have a "Combine Stack" option.

This happens to me regularly in my personal bank and inventory on PC. I have actually made it a normal "maintenance" routine each night to scroll through my inv and manually stack things that should already be stacked.

I'm mixed. Runes, ore and wood would surely be heavy and I got out and maybe come back with 60 Ore or wood at a time. This would be made difficult with the old weight system. I contrast I do the same with alchemical reagents, so I come back with maybe 20 different types of waters and reagents which would be infinitely easier with the old system.

I would love to have an option to "Combine Stack". It would save me probably 30 minutes a week if I didn't have to go to my bank and take things out to only add to stacks apples and worms and guts.

I have all sorts of things that won't stack in inventory or the bank. Laundered items like lockpicks or provisioning mats won't stack and I can have multiple groups of just a few each. They are just lockpicks and bananas, they're generic, they should stack. Motifs don't stack and right now are a major problem in my bank because I'm trying to save them for future alts as yet unmade. Again, they are the same thing; I have three of one and two of several others yet they take up one slot for each item. I would love a sort and stack button but I'm on Xbox so it would be better if this sort of housekeeping was as automatic as it is supposed to be.
