Ok .. lastnight I was harvesting and had to log out for a bit .. When I logged back in I started harvesting again .. After about 5 pulls I notice that I was not getting ANY of the mats. They should have been added to the stack that was in my inventory, but the qty was never increasing. I contacted a GM who told me they have seen bag stacks since the patch and I needed to get rid of the stack before I could get more mats of that type. Now I was in the middle of nowhere and had no crafting tools on me and it would have taken some time to run to town to store the mats for later use.
Then it hit me ... Anyone remember my "why the vendor system cannot go live" post? Well .. it just so happens there was a hawker in the area. I sold the bugged stack to the hawker with 5000 dapper sell price (if someone wanted to by a q100 mat for 5k .. No problem there). This removed the bad stack from my inventory and once I got back to town I could just buy the stack back at no cost! Yay for a workaround!
Moral of the story ... Sometimes not getting what you want is good. While I do not think that the 100 free storage spaces is something that should have made it live, it did come in handy in this case .. and since Nevrax ignored me, They must think it is OK to use the vendors as temp storage ..
So any harvester who doesnt want to drag a packer around, just locate any NPC you can sell too nearby and never have to run to town to unload mats again
