Make Voiddust stackable !

[Mittenz]

I would like to see voiddust made stackable, there really is no point for each 1 to take up space.

I am one of those people who do a LOT of voidwatch and use a lot of dust and while I have no problem with having to spend the gil to buy some off the AH or the IS/AN/CP having to buy some every time you go back to town seems a bit wasteful as far as time goes when you could just run up to the NPC like those using saved stones and trade each round.

There is no advantage other than having to make less stops at the AH/reward NPC in having 5 or 50 in your inventory as they dont give you extra's like the corundrums so I dont see this giving any issues to balance, just the sanity of your fellow party members so you dont make them wait while you make yet another stop for 5mins at the AH getting dusts.

Stack to 99 please.

[Economizer]

Also AH pricing isn't an issue either; you can make it stack without the AH having to sell stacks.

Same for Beastmaster food; you could have bags that stack to 99 that hold 12 each and not sell them on AH (and if it really matters, make them exclusive if bazaaring them would be somehow evil for the market). Beastmasters would buy them in stacks of 12 from crafters and then bag them themselves for easier usage of petfood and possibly even jugs.

Hey everyone,

The development team gave us some insight regarding your request to make Voiddust stackable. The original system was developed so that your Voidstone stock would be replenished over time.
Voiddust was created as an alternative solution for those who are just starting Voidwatch or do not have enough stock to participate. In order to keep the main objective of this alternative viable (helping those that wish to participate but lack Voidstones), we currently have no plans to make Voiddust stackable.

[Kalilla]

So... the reason they said no is?

What possible con could there be by making this item stackable.

I personally don't care either way, but I'm just not understanding the logic here.

[Quetzacoatl]

So stacking voiddust, which will help inventory issues, defeats the purpose of having voiddust?

wat is this i don't even.

[Mittenz]

I am sorry but that provides absolutely no real answer as to a reason for not making them stackable and in fact leaves me to question if they even understood the request.

[Demon6324236]

Ok, I'm guessing the reason is because then it would sell in stacks on AH, in which case people would be more apt to sell them as stacks on AH, if everyone has to buy 99 to get any it makes it worse off. However this is also foolish because I'm sure they don't have to make it sell in 99s, and also no one would buy in 99s unless they do nothing but VW all day long and have no stones...

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

[Cowardlybabooon]

We need room so we can take logs from the box instead of relinquishing. Need that npc money.

[Cybernetic_Empire]

Inventory is broken in this game. Every item that isn't a weapon or armor should stack. Either that or make it so you can't gear swap.

Dear SE: Your VW system has succeeded so well in your desire to hook people with its great loot and horrible drop rates that non-stackable voiddust no longer satisfies the demand.

The ONLY logical solution to this is to make it stackable, since saying no is like a drug dealer telling their clients to go to rehab.

Free your inventory and non stacking items are no hinderance anymore.
SE explained why they made them non stackable and still you ask for it.

I'm that disapointed, that theres forums are flooded with greedy people.

Btw. Just add stones before you set sails and restock them when you get back. What's so difficult at all since you allready need inventory space for the crap that is droping?

The reason given made no sense, this is why people still ask, they say their reason is they want to keep dust as a viable alternative for those without the stones to participate. I however see little reason why this would prevent said goal honestly. It is another item that is taking up more room, when we have limited space, 80 seems like alot at 1st, but even with 80 space max, if you gear your job well, many jobs can take alot of it up (50~60), and items not stacking or SE giving us more space, does not help this problem.

I started VW 2 months ago: "if" 3 stones per day, I'd have 180 stones, how I'll explain 0/350+ on Mekira, 0/150 on Toci's, 0/100~ Ogier's Body/Borealis and alot of other VWNM with 0/50~ ; ;

I've spent around 2k stones, thankfully for those who farm Voiddust or VWNM would be dead by now.

[Ihnako]

@Waldrich
And? ...
What will you do when you got what you wanted? ...
What did you do to get these "free" items? (Voidstone/-dust)

I sold 2k Voiddust in the above mentioned timespan and still have 400 stones with the same result as you. ;p

I'm sorry to say it again but you people are just greedy. If SE doesn't present you everything on a silver plate you'r not happy. And the point why Voiddust isn't stackable doesn't concern the point why you spent so much stones cause there are always 100+ at the AH and the way from and to the AH <-> Voidwatch-NPC isn't that far that you would die.

So... do your VW -> warp to your HP -> sell trash -> buy some stones -> restock -> do your VW -> repeat

I don't see why SE should change something in this chain?

[Tamoa]

Hi Ihnako, guess what, I don't buy voiddust at all. I spam vwnm, I rarely have more than 10 stones saved up with the npc, so I do campaign to trade the AN for voiddust. I'm not interested in spending 180k gil in voiddust each run (6 fights), so your solution of "do fights -> warp -> sell trash -> buy voiddust" etc doesn't work for me. I have to retrace to pick up more voiddust because I do not have the space in my inventory/mog sack/mog satchel to keep more than 6 voiddusts there.

Now if voiddust was stackable, even if only to 12, that would be a great help for me. I could spam my campaign and stock up on voiddust - those 6 single voiddusts in my mog satchel would suddenly turn into 72 voiddusts and not take up any more room.

And yes, I'm with everybody else here, the reason why SE won't make voiddust stackable makes no sense at all.


Edit: although crystal petrifacts were stackable from the start, SE still increased stack size from 12 to 99. With this in mind, there's not one single valid reason why they shouldn't make voiddust stackable.

How about making it so when you trade the dust in, it doesn't give you the KI stones but adds them to your total stock instead?

That would be cool.
