Stackable logs and ores

[Sargent]

Hello!

Whenever we plan out which gathering-type items should/should not be stackable we always need to consider how many items that a player could bring back home after one session. For example, if we changed logs or ores the number they could take home would increase ten-fold. Therefore we need to consider all the effects this could have on the economy and be careful when considering such adjustments. With that in mind, we do not have plans to make these items stackable at this time.

There are people fish botting and curor botting creating effectively an infinite amount of gil from NPCs and your worried about the economy crashing from gathering? OK.

O.o Economy!? O no you did not!

1 cruor : 2.4 gil DUGH!!!! economy INFLATION hellllooooooo!!!!

This doesn't help our economy, so don't tell me that not being able to stack these items is.

Better says we hate our playerbase so much ; ;

or even...

Why you bother and do not give us ur money making a new mule.

There is something seriously wrong with the section of the community (and perhaps society at large) that perpetually responds in a manner like this.

No guys Square Enix don't want us to play all jobs + crafts + HELM ; ;

Their answer is: No, you can't do it. the game wasn't designed for it.... this is annoying...

Where is the good news...all we've been getting is "no, you can't have this" and "balance" the last few weeks.

I'm sorry that is the worst excuse I have heard. If that was the case why make logs the most popular drop from VW. I'm guessing they was just added cause couldn't think of anything else to drop.

It's not that bad an excuse. Although I would welcome stacking logs and ores, events like voidwatch and woe drop so many materials that if those were stackable they would flood the market. Right now, people just destroy them unless they are a crafter and carry crystals.

Perhaps HELM activities could be updated though, to make it more appealing... tool dispensers, high level harvesting gear (ideally obtained through harvesting items to make said gear), better and update drops, etc.

HELMing is simply fundamentally broken, period. It needs more than just an "update", it needs a radical top-to-bottom-redesign, and honestly there are just way more important matters for the dev team right now. That's why crafting materials have been thrown willy-nilly into every endgame activity for years now, since Abyssea--so that the hopelessly broken HELM system could be bypassed entirely.
