The new Runic Bag of Holding is fantastic!
Awesome work guys on providing something that is useful and reasonably priced for a change!

That is true, but since you are limited to 5 bags (I think), this is a huge advantage.

Yep, so that if you ever purchase more inventory you get charged twice because your newer purchase makes the former ones useless. That's a poor business decision because it's an incentive to keep your current inventory (after all, you've paid for it) but it's not the first time we see such a mediocre decision.
Yup.
The AH would be flooded with "discarded" greaters, and the ZAX would hard-crash, or rather the backlog would speed-climb like a Saturn 5 to 15 million, if they hadn't...
But a 60% price increase for a 17% effect increase is beyond my willingness to spend - especially as the game currently is as it is...
What however really miffed me was the unnanounced nature of this. I had shuffled some bags from currently relegated, but not retired, playing chars to mules - needed some storage there, and just didn't want to buy more bags. Now they're stuck there... :^/
...they really could have given a week or so of adaption phase. Meh...
[Edit: I misread the announcement: There's one very last re-equip on those currently in use...]
You mean like when all our event currencies we spent hours grinding for to save up for the next event were just deleted a week before the event?

FTFY.
Well, I left the original line so the reference was clear for really everyone, across language barries. I considered:
"...in the Land of China where our Dollars now lie."
:^)
but I still dont get BoE over BoA. My family was just starting to get into this game. bought some char slots, bought some bags.. rerolled some characters, trying to find ones we like... We didn't feel bad about our purchases, because we considered the bags BoA. (We had no interest in putting them back on the AH).
My sons, who in 1 month have created and deleted multiple level 20's because they wanted to try out different combinations, now can't have the bags they raked the yard and cleaned the house to get. They said it wasn't fair that the company changed how it works on them.. They want their money back. What they bought is not what they are getting.
I guess this is a teaching opportunity. The bad news is for someone of limited income (there are only so many yards and dishes to be done), this isn't the teaching that I think cryptic wants. Instead of them moving on to the next thing they can do some chores and get some Zen, they are doing the opposite. Asking what other games are out there. This was a pretty big demoralizing change for them.
I struggle to find a reason that BoE solves that BoA doesn't.
Money money money mo-ney, MO-NEY! (sang to the tune of The Apprentice
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
m-o-n-e-y!...
There are innumerable things I struggle to find reasoning behind in this game.
BoA>BoE changes are something that occur most annually; and so hastily they forget to change the info panels, like in the summer event.
No because nobody really cares about that arti, not until it gets a Mail option.
with some Identify scrolls, and that artifact, you can get by with less than perfect inventory.
I assume he's talking about the ability to sell things from anywhere with that artifact, since he also mentions needing identify scrolls.
Which means, like many other people, he doesn't realize you can vendor things from anywhere without a timer or wasting an artifact slot by just alt-tabbing to a gateway window. One day that may actually get nerfed.
Okay, Panic.
That is not a new method. There are many ways to avoid buying bag but all options only mean inconvenience and how much pain you want to go through without getting one.
My friend does not want to get one. Hence, he keeps going back town to ship stuff to other mules he created.
He keeps all enchantment/runestone to wait for the 2x day. He spend a lot of time and pain doing that.
I personally have many and don't ship that around my chars. The bound limitation is bad but it does not hurt me that much.
If they want more money, they should raise number of bag limit to be more than 5.
Its insulting. They will have to work very hard earn back my respect, and probably a great number of older players like myself who recognize disingenuous business practices when we see them.
