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

[MistakeNot]

I don't see how the old expanded inventory is superior to the new one.

With the old expanded inventory you could see more items on the screen at once. (100 items at once vs the 70 items with the new one)
This also led to us having fewer tabs to go through - everything fit into three tabs, unlike now where there are four tabs to go through.

Old Vs. New

You don't see how it's better to show 100 items in "expanded" view rather than 70 items?

All that screenshot did was make me sad. More viewable slots! Dividers! Less tabs!

I almost never had to click onto that 2nd tab too. They could surely get the expanded inventory down to 2 tabs.

It was better because we could see ALL the bags at once, and didn't have to dick around with tab clicking. There's enough excessive clicking in the game already, we don't need more.

What we want is the same 5x7 layout we just got but with the view of all 4 bags at once when using the "expanded" option. No. Tabbing.

2 more votes for the old view. My wife and I really dislike the new look. If my wife asks me one more time why they changed it and tells me how it doesn’t make any sense and asks me why is the last page is useless, I’m going to lose my mind. I don’t see how this is considered an improvement whatsoever.

The old inventory split it into 100 items on the first tab, 40 on items on the second, then key items and crystals on the third. It did not show all bags at once, at least not after 4.0.

With the new 5x7 layout, the inventory, armoury chest, and saddlebag all share a unified interface. And with four bags instead of five and a half, sorting by tab works a lot better. Also the item search feature now specifies the correct tab while using the expanded layout.

Some people win with the new system, and some people lose. That's always going to be the case. I for one personally prefer the new layout. I'm sorry you don't.

I don't see the reason to argue that both sides shouldn't have the option to choose what they want vs just 1 side winning though? It was easier to view in the old vs the new, since its to compact and less space to view making it extremely annoying to click back and forth, and not having the option for either is annoying as well.

Not to mention they already stated the 5x7 layout for x 4 panel vs 2 which was the argument to begin with (which multiple people pointed out to you as well), not sure why you left it out in your comment. It's not about winning, its about appeasing both sides, its not hard to think of everyone.

So how about an option? I mean they simply could have introduced the new layout as a third option and voila we only have winners...

The new inventory sucks very hard I don’t even want to open my inventory window. Please revert the change or make a toggle with the option for the old version.
