I would like to propose a change that might seem small at first glance, but I think it would add up quite a bit to the overall quality of the gameplay.
Whenever one moves items from one bag to another, or in between bags, mail or refining windows, they need to drag the items on item slots. The problem is when you accidentally hit the tiny space in between the slots. The game asks you if you want to discard the item. From my perspective, as a veteran player, the game should never give me the choice to destroy/discard an item when i drop it inside a container, but only when/if I drop it outside the container. Especially since you do not support recovering items that are accidentally lost due to this, well, I'll just call it "bug".
To make this more specific i'll give you an example: let's say I want to split a stack of 20 into 2 stacks of 10. I hold the Shift key pressed and drag the stack from where it is to another free item slot. A popup with a slider shows up asking how I want the stack split. The problem is when one does this a lot, because at some point they're gonna hit in between item slots in the bag/container. At that point, another popup shows up asking: are you sure you want to discard the item? But you're already expecting a popup, the one about how you want to split. If you press accept, because you want it split in half... poof, the stack is gone.
Every single player I have asked this question shared my opinion: one should only be able to discard items by dragging them outside of their containers (bags, email, refining window, etc), and NEVER by dragging them inside the container.
I hope this is not very hard to implement/program as it would add up quite a bit to the overall enjoy-ability of the gameplay.
Let me know your thoughts about this.

He basically said that they are not doing diddley that does not have a positive impact on their return on investment. In response I have had to shut off all expectations. Whatever is broken will remain broken, and whatever would improve the game will never happen unless they can make income from it.
So just muddle through. Right click everything and choose your options carefully. This is annoying but not a big deal when you consider some of the really big deals that will remain broken because fixing them will not directly increase bottom line. Although some rather shortsighted folk can't see that leaving them broken certainly WILL impact that bottom line.
Whatever.. I really don't care anymore.. Just needed to flex the old fingers.
Makes me wonder how they think income will not come from continued interest from their players, but Ok, Mr. SLICK ROI.
