I can still get that last little crown for the unlikely event I marry into royalty
i am REALLY not looking forward to having to stop opening gifts every 8 seconds to slot a new stack in a device slot, especially after having gathered several hundred over the course of the anniversary - can we please get the stack limit upped a bit?
I mean, you do realize that I'll be stuck with one bag (which I'll have to empty that much more often) whereas before I could just get a bag and mail it to my new character, right? Just when you get used to something convenient....
Would it have killed you to disallow the sale of bags on the auction house??

Haven’t bought/equipped bags since the patch, but I’m assuming this means there will no longer be a prompt asking me if I’m sure I want to equip them when I right click. If so, this will be saving me about 3 seconds per new alt, with no discernible downside. I’m pleased.
Cryptic wants to make damn sure players can sell most things in the cash shop on the AH. QoL features are not as important as making money. At least it's one less way for players to get scammed by other players.
It may not be a "big deal" but it's still stupid to inconvenience players by prioritizing money over something so insignificant. Cryptic does that way too much. And one of the solutions is to spend cash for a hideout. Geeze... Making bags account bound would have been a better solution, but for some reason account bound items are the devil.

Um... The most expensive bag is like 7.5 G. That doesn't take long for a new character to earn.
My actual objection was that this makes something in-game a bit less convenient for me. It was never meant to be interpreted as game-destroying or a massive problem. I find that removed conveniences irritate me. But that's it--I was just irritated. I'm already over it.
But as mentioned, the bags are so affordable and the amount of globals needed to purchase them can be earned with such little time and effort that it's probably a pretty trivial change.

Not that complicated.

I'm literally doing the exact same thing I've always done. This change doesn't change anything for me.
Switch to alt, buy the bags, mail the bags, switch back to the character, grab the bags from the mail.
Yes, it is annoying.

So is refusing to read what the author wrote several times and constantly telling him/her "it isn't hard" to work around. It's not helpful if you completely ignore what someone wrote to interject a solution to a problem that isn't there.

Oh right...it's release notes. So I guess the complaint and suggestions aren't needed or required, at all. Guess that is solved.

Just so you guys know, I wasn't quite as angry as I may have sounded. I was irritated that I was losing a convenience, and my irritation (to start with, at least) was at the situation, not at a person. But boy, did I drop the ball on that soon afterward.
Considering the brevity of my first post, as well as the fact that I referred to transferring bags in mail as "something convenient", some people made assumptions that could be interpreted as, well, a stretch. And since, more assumptions have been made.
How long have I been playing? Do I participate in Alerts? Am I in a super group? Do I have a hideout?
To be honest, such assumptions don't matter at this point. So let me direct a few things to specific people: You attempted to say something helpful, and I snapped at you. That was wrong, and I apologize. Shouldn't have snapped at you, either. I apologize. I...am still not sure what the price of bags has to do with what I was saying. I liked getting a second bag on my character as soon as I created/recreated it, that way I'd leave Ren Center with one less thing to do later. That being said, your post was neither insulting nor incorrect. I therefore apologize for my irritable, unwarranted response.
EDIT
Or maybe they should remove all but the biggest bag from the game, and allow it to be bought for 1G. It's not like actual gameplay is phenomenally affected by having a large selection of bags to choose from. And most bag sizes they have aren't really useful since you can wait just a little while longer and buy a bigger one, anyway.
The even larger bag on the Z store can remain for those who want it.
Not necessary, from my perspective, but kudos nonetheless. Doubt I helped anything, so apologies as well.

And attempting to help is just as good as actually helping, even if I missed that at first.
