If you do this their value will drop significantly since bots will then collect unlimited of them. This is especially true of p gems and small runes.
Be honest. The people running bots with thousands of accounts aren’t going to be affected by being able to store more, and the economy will be fine. Making it easier for real-life players is the primary concern here, and stacking just makes sense.

I vote for Currency tab. Only thing to do with bots is ban. Game and quality of life features shouldn’t be altered or limited because of them.

Bots and the people running them still have to make inventory decisions. If gems and low runes are stackable their trade value will drop to near nothing.
Yes because we all see how the rare El rune is selling for thousands of dollars on RMT sites right? Amirite?
OMG the perfect emerald I have that I have been sitting in a game now trying to sell for 40x JAHs might just not be worth 40x JAHS anymore. Whatever will I do
At this point, does it even matter? The bots are having a very easy time, and they are ruining it anyway. So why not just make real players life easier aswell?

See, this guy gets it.
Do any of you actually play d2r, have you ever played SCNL the only place people are actually active after a week into ladder? Can you tell me what a p gem or el rune is worth?
I’ve been playing d2r this whole time enjoying the economy and your argument is that bots ruin the economy in some aspects so why not ruin every aspect of the economy so that you don’t have to organize or think about loot collection…
I never said el rune or p gems were mega valuable but they are definitely not zero value like they will be immediately and forever if stacking is allowed.
Dear Gatekeeper,
You are in the minority on this one.
Sincerely,
The Majority

The majority because blizz forums are filled with pvm only players who have already hurt the game in many ways such as enabling FOH to have a 10frame local cool down? You are the majority of forum tolls ya, actual d2r playerbase nah.
Only reason game has any players or item value at all is pvp but the loud and ignorant pvm only players will mass together to fight for qol changes that wreck the end game and then leave the game in a couple weeks after ladder.
Falling back on pvp when your original point was specific to pvm, making your argument now even sillier.
Good luck with whatever you’ve got going on.
How would stackable runes affect pvp

I LOL’d, then further down in this thread I ROFL’d, ending in a ZOMG.
Seriously, I like the game but holy cow are some of the remaining players numpties. Like my 80 year old mother who comes over to nitpick every *$&# wrong on my lawn or garden. Nope, can’t enjoy the Lilacs, can’t enjoy the variety of Hydrangeas, just has to complain about that one stinking weed popping up, or the mulch that some critter dug up.
Just sit back, enjoy the time you have left playing the game and stop worrying about what other players are doing, stop fretting over bots for *#&$ sake, the status of the servers is 10000% better than it was 15+ years ago when it was nothing but bots (SPAMbots & Baalbots). Just shutup about “the economy man”, this is an ARPG…it is not Monopoly. Go play that stupid board game if so obsessed with “the economy”.
JUST PLAY THE FREAKING GAME

Oh so now you want the game to be built around not only botters but pvpers as well. Maybe just turn it into moba if pvm (main feature of this game and its players) is so annoying to you.

Not one argument on how stacking gems/runes won’t ruin the economy just insults…I’m not nitpicking I’m advocating for not changing something that would hurt the economy just to make the game easier to play.
Chat bug and plenty of other qol improvements out there waiting to be fixed but instead you all want to make it easier to collect items which will kill their value.
You started this thread to try and argue for not adding consumable stacking…
Then you did some mental gymnastics while we watched.
Now you’re circling back, but have still failed to make a cogent argument as to why it would ruin the economy.
The burden of proof is on you here.
And again, beyond that, this game is made for people to play, not for bots, which are largely unaffected by limited stash space.
I would add further, I really doubt any bots are running picking up gems or runes. Think about it, the purpose of the bot is to run unattended for hours, maybe even days. I am sure they select only few uniques and high runes (i.e. Tals ammy, Griffons, Shako, Ber, etc..)
The whole idea they are botting for El runes and gems…unfreaking real. Really want to know what color is the sky in the OPs world.

Very little has trade value in SCNL since it’s been out for years but low runes and gems do have a decent value because of inventory constraints. Bots are horrible but haven’t ever been fixed.
Stacking gems and small runes would make their value approach 0 in SCNL which would hurt the economy for the playerbase who has actually been around playing for years.
This is bad for long term players but good for bots or fair weather players is my argument.
Instead of being mean you could try to understand that I am making valid points.
So to summarize, you fear inflation due to increased supply with dwindling demand.
That may be true, but again, making QoL decisions for players based on “what if the bots…” is the wrong way to look at it.
I would argue that it would be the other way around. If players can store more, there would be less need for bots.

Exactly they don’t pick them up now. But if they stacked they would.
I agree we shouldn’t design around bots.
