Question is, do Yoshida mean Matsuno's tweeter text or the stacks?

I've a feeling the servers would implode if that happened.

I don't think the servers would, it'd be less item stacks for the servers to keep track of.

What would really implode is the market board as idiots keep selling stacks of 999 items instead of the usual 99 now.

I hope they do with armour, weapon and accessory aswell (when the item is in the inventory) . Just separate them based on NQ and HQ.

I foresee: I want 2 of item. MB sells at item with a stack 999. XD

Oh lord I hope not. I think we should be able to have 999 on a person/retainer. but only sell in stacks of 99.

Which is why we need to have some sort of pop-up that lets you choose the number of items you want from the stack. Would make things a lot easier on people trying to sell tons of stuff(having 5 vending slots for one item because only certain sized stacks sell is ridiculous).

Or the easiest (and most intelligent) decision would be to just abandon the archaic mechanic of "Buy everything player X has for sale". I realize Yoshi had this dream of players being thoughtful about quantity vs price when putting things up for sale, but the playerbase is too lazy for that. If we could choose how much of something we wanted to buy, then we can list all 999 of an item for sale, and guess what, someone can only buy 1 or 10 of them if they want. All the current purchasing restriction does is hurt newer, poorer players who don't have the disposable gil to just buy a full stack of an item and resell the other 98 they didn't need.

Discretionary purchase quantities is something they've supposedly been working on since 2.0, but like a lot of other needed features it never materialized.
