Retainer Organization & Sorting

[OniKimoto]

I doubt it would be possible. A sort right now won't even combine multiple stacks of the same item that's in your character inventory. Trying to automatically transfer the same item scattered across multiple storage units into a single storage unit would be even more difficult.

There are also players who split the items up between different retainers for a reason. In my case I store items that belong to the FC on one of my alts' retainers because there's not enough room in the FC chest. I'd be upset if my personal items ended up combined with FC items so I didn't know how much belongs to the FC and how much to me.

If you have a system to organize how you will store items before you give them to a retainer, your idea wouldn't be necessary. As an example, put items gathered through mining and botany on one retainer, everything else on the second retainer.

You should have the option to choose where you put your items which is the case right now, the point of this is so you can consolidate the items if YOU CHOOSE SO.

The way you stated it, it would automatically combine items when Sort is used.

I still use Sort. It would screw me over because it will move items I have sorted on one retainer and combine them with the items I have sorted on another retainer.

No thank you.

Instead of asking for it to be an included function of Sort, ask SE to make a new function for Combine Stacks so it will only do it for those players who specifically want their separated stacks combined.
