Lockboxes prove there is an inventory management problem with this game

[Vahlnir]

I'm pretty sure everyone was fully aware of the inventory space issues long before lockboxes came into play. They do, however, make that issue light up like a Christmas tree when opened in bulk.

that's exactly what i am doing ya. my personal point is that it is too much to hand in, so for now I am just keeping those 2 stacks on retainer till they update this.

Imo, it's easier to do in Eureka because the lockbox npc and the vendors are very close to one another. Once your inventory is full, run 10 feet to a vendor, sell your things and return to open more. Rinse and repeat. It's not quite as bad as you are making it out to be. To avoid this "issue" entirely though, I wouldn't gather 31453678 lockboxes and open 0. Open a few hundred at a time. This is a self inflicted problem above all else.
