Why does the new inventory UI show less items on Expanded than before?

[killstein]

so there isn't a toggle to go back to the previous layout...? i never used expanded inventory but the fuller, default inventory is something i don't care for... it just looks too cluttered for ONE box. i have to spend more time looking for an item even with the appropriate sorting options in place... ;_; +1 you all have my support.

The way it was before is less slots, so I'm happy with the number we have now.

Incorrect, we lost 30 slots from the previous view. We used to be able to see 100 slots at a time and now we only get 70. The current UI is unquestionably inferior in every way.

That was in reference to the number of actual slots not the number view-able.

We didn't gain any slots in the inventory. This entire conversation is about how many slots (way less) are viewable now.

Adding my concurrance. 5x7 tabs is more elegant than before, but still being forced to have 2 pages is frustrating and means you're seeing less items per page than you were with the old system. In fact now there are 4 inventory pages instead of 3 because for some reason we need 105 key item slots.

I see no reason why we can't display all 4 tabs at once like before. You don't even have to get rid of the current design, just add an extra option. Something like "Standard, Expanded and Full"

The person I responded to said they want it to revert back to the way it was (or have one unified large pane), which I responded to by saying I'd rather have the extra slots than less viewable in that scenario. Plus we did gain slots, so im not sure what you're talking about there.

I too would like to agree with what the others have said.

The multiple tab options for the inventory just doesn't work right.

Please give us back the 4 "section" expanded view.

just to pile on - Expanded Inventory View is worse after 4.2 update.

Please put it back to the way it was. With the way it is now you might was well remove Expanded as it's now almost useless.

I'd be perfectly happy seeing all 4 70-slot inventory grids on the same pane.

@SE Please fix the expanded inventory to display all bags on a single window as before. This change was stupid.
