Things that are NOT fun that are easy to fix

The number one thing that is NOT fun and is really easy to fix in this game is......
The refinement system
Why on Earth (Faerun?) can we only put 5 things at time into refinement?
Literally thousands (10's of thousands?) of items need to be dropped into an artifact to get it to it's top level.
That's hours of dragging and dropping ... Hours of tedious boredom and potential dropping the item into the "are you sure you want to destroy this? " dialog.
it's BOooooRING
it can be easily fixed by just changing the input to a slider .... yes I want to put 78 peridots into my artifact, thankyou.
it's the number 1 simple fix that they can easily code, it's just a simple GUI change....

If it was easy to refine no-one would buy the extremely expensive (in terms of RP/AD) high RP items such as Blood Rubies from the ZEN market. This is why you will never see a response...
Not really. A stack of 99x peridots are 50k at the moment. If i gather 50k by the end of the day i would love it if i could put the all in at once. If i make more then 50k, lets say 500k from a lucky drop. I have to spent alot of time using the peridots just because the system is like that. It would be the simplest of things to fix this.
Well same with me. I put in what i get. But as i said above. It dosent make sense. Because one day i hope i have enough AD to buy 10k items to put inside as well. But again, there is a lot of players that have a lot of items to put in at once. It would be nice if they were taken into consideration and not just the "poor" ones. It would really be a simple fix.
Its not the players fault this game requires you to put millions of items into refinement. At least give us the opportunity to do it faster.
Don't pay no attention to him, I think he is traumatized with rich people and believes that all those with more than 100K AD on their pockets are worse than HAMSTER...

Yes, I just vendor any standard Rank 1 and 2s I get and sell my full stacks of Rank 3 on the AH. Nowadays I only use Rank 4s to refine...
Got one word for you, bud - LOL
@OP
Agreed, 20000+ drag-and-drop motions on my wrists are not healthy.
This system works as intended.
Ill find the post, Another user worded it better also.
gives you the ability to "melt down" your epics into a higher concentrated form worth more refinement points. (and stackable) I probably wouldnt use values that high for such a huge increase as used in his example. I'd be more inclined to have the benefit lower than that. but you can see where the idea has its points, with the main benefit focussed on the upgrading the stones into higher stones, and allowing you to store them easier.
also this + the ability to combine lower stones / bars into higher ones, and even with the 5 limit you can refine much much more points at once.
Also being able to refine stacks is good also, but less chance to get additional from refining crits then :O

The thing is even without paying for stacks, I like to collect them until they're stacked before using them. Using single items as RP is an even worse experience. It's especially bad for artifact equipment. If you only use equipment to get to legendary or even epic, then you should be tested on your sanity levels
tl;dr: The refinement system is an abysmally designed abomination that succeeds only in giving people RSI.
I spend many hours every day playing games and working on my PC's.
It's been at least 5+ years since I recall having pain in my right wrist and hand.
A more ergonomic refinement system would be very much appreciated.
Too much repetitive hand/wrist/finger motion can cause pain.
I should get a left hand mouse just in case we have another 2x refinement weekend.
^^^Like a couple others have already said- ^^^^
One brazillian percent CORRECT.
Stuff that gives more refining points = More costly = More potential zen buyers = More money.
Every little bit of the system, at the end of the line has to do with cryptic getting money. Welcome to game marketing.
Users provide money. Annoying users from badly implemented and simply NOT fun gameplay (which is actually just a chore that must be done in order to remain competitive) is a good way to long term lose money.
If a computer game company wants to make money then it's simple : provide a fun product. Refinement is not Fun!
And as I've said a few times, Sure they are squeezing out every cent from their golden geese (That's us, the players). But when an important part of the game simply isn't fun then those geese will fly away and get their geese kicks elsewhere.
This sentence brought to you by the concept of killing golden geese.
