Crafting Ingredient Preference needs tweaking.

ArrerBoy · December 2017

Is it just me or does the game have an odd preference for crafting ingredients? First it goes for stolen stuff, then the crafting bag, then your own inventory. Shouldn't inventory stuff take preference over the bag? I put stuff there to reduce clutter and provide a reserve if my inventory is all out. So why does it use the crafting bag for food ingredients when I have a stack of 20 red meat in my inventory?

I would guess that it's purely to encourage people to buy eso+. A logical business approach.

Didn't know it uses stolen first though, that's nice

Because $$$$

Otherwise people could use a one month sub to efficiently use the crafting bag year long.
This preference and ordering is there to make it extremely tedious to do so, and retain as many subs as possible year long.

Exactly. Why should you be allowed to sub for one month to store a bunch of mats and then unsub and keep the benefits of the crafting bag? It uses the mats in the crafting bag first, if you're unsubbed, because basically, you're no longer paying for it. It's better than if they just dumped it all back in your inventory and then destroyed what didn't fit.

Edited for redundancy.
