I don't want people hoarding runes and then messing up the prices with them.

Fortunately ArenaNet does not care about Sardelac, so your little idea is barely likely to even be noticed by them.

Blizzard is far more accepting for ideas from what I've seen. Especially with allowing AddOns to enhance the gaming experience.

People usually use materials in amouts of 1..250 or even more.
So it's normal that they stack.
Same goes for consumables, that can be used many times in one hour.

But upgrades are something you use just once in a while. One +50 in weeks or moths, maybe one +1EnSto in the whole life of the character...

Since they are not used so much, they don't need to be stacked. The trader and your heroes are more than enough to 'store' them.

Don't be a pack rat of useless goods and you won't have a problem.

OK then, go play WoW. I don't think anyone is going to miss you, especially since you seem to just sit and advocate it in GUILD WARS Guru.

Good thing Blizzard doesn't run Guild Wars, then, eh?

But when you store something it's to have quicker access to it later.

You don't get a miniature or a piece of armor everyday, but you can get any rune almost instantly with the trader.

Runes will never stack in your inventory due to the fact that when you ID them, 2 of the same runes do not ID out to being worth the same amount of cash due to what they were taken off of. It is a nice thought, but will never happen. Same goes for insignias.

been nearly 2 years since first suggested..

most runes are fairly cheap..i usually just sell to Rune Trader..when i need one i just buy it.

doubt it would ever happen in GW..but i would like to see them stack also..

Yup. No upgrades stack, like no weapons or armor do.

Apply common sense, as it would be runes that have been identified or purchased (in other words you know exactly what they are) that would stack.

I like the idea of having runes stack (really to have all upgrades stack). I can understand why runes don't based on the merchant (not trader) price after id that was mentioned earlier. Weapon inscriptions stacking is almost more of a concern to me right now that runes or insignias for armor.

I really should update this so insignias and other mods stack too. It's really needed since GW has such limited storage space.

Yes, it may be "limited" but it is far more than enough. If you count the 4 storage tabs, and then your character's bags, it is far more than enough. Just sell stuff you don't need to the merchant.

The point is that we already have the Rune traders to 'store' them.
If you are not going tu use a rune, your are supposed to sell it. If you are going to use it, you'll probably use it within the next month.

Weapon upgrade traders and a way to unlock armors without having to store them would be way more useful than this. This would just encourage hoarding and using the most expensive ones as currency.

I see no reason why not to implement this. I think everyone will like this and it wont even set gw2 back that much.

Allowing runes to stack will initially make them more expensive. People will hoard them. When they aren't sold the price can only go up. Once they reach a fairly high price, however, people will sell. When white dye was first released it cost qite a bit. People hoarded. When they hit the 40K+ mark people sold, the price dropped. They are stackable but who has 250 white dyes?

Allowing runes to stack will increase the number of rune farmers. There are a couple of areas where sup vig runes drop pretty frequently. Allowing runes to stack will make these people very rich.

When I had one storage tab and no material storage I had storage problems. When materials were added I had some space, but soon had storage problems. More tabs were added, I have 10 chars with an army of heroes and, you guessed it, I have storage problems. We don't need more storage, we just need to sell the stuff we aren't using.

If I get drops of runes, etc I can use I would prefer to stack them into my inventory and storage to evenly distribute them rather than take up 5-10 spaces for a few runes.

It's a thing called being efficient.

Now if only some forum posters had a thing called common sense...

There's your reason. Probably the smartest thing I ever heard Mithran say.

Yet with current prices, there's no point to horde any runes.

I before proposed a rune booklet... but imagine everyone hording superior vigor... we just can't have that. I like the forced market idea.

wrong again.

it is to prevent a repeat of the superior absorb/superior vigor hoarders that held back supply to keep them pegged at 100K/75K respectinely.

Anet announced that since they were not falling as the other runes were they would increase the SUPERIOR ABSORB/SUPERIOR VIGOR DROP RATE BY 3X.

the prices went through the floor as the hoarded runes were dumped to get what they could before the new runes even hit the market.

40 per cent drop in 2 days flat and kept sliding since.

no way will ANET give those same hoarders infinite hold back hoarding space.
wrong

Your logic is flawing and you apparently know nothing about making optimal use of limited space. A majority of the posters in this thread have seen how this would be beneficial. Anet can either implement this or increase storage.

Back when the runes were limited, they were still getting sold rapidly. If anything most players would hold them for a week, maximum. And during these times the economy was quite good. Then ANet screwed the economy over by increasing the rates that the runes dropped. This was good for some players, but for those who actually worked and farmed to make their money from runes, it screwed them over. No one was hoarding the runes, they were selling them as soon as they got them. Especially absorption and vigor.

that gave roughly a 3Xincrease as the old rate was 1/3 average

you were not here when the rune farmers bitched about Anet ruining their rune gold mine but i was.

people needed them and paid your exorbident price or did without

for the rune farmers getting rich not for the playerbase

they were hoardng or try to explain the 10x/20x sudden panic selling that dropped runes that had been locked at 100K/75K since the dawn of the game to half price before the new runes even dropped to affect the price.

Anet has the logs and did something to shake them lose.

wrong as usual
