We wait months for another patch, why it is soo difficult to put gems and runes to stack, pezradar please, tell developers that we want STASH and ITENS QOL, that is the best patch we could get, all players fill the game with mules because they cant put all things in stash…

Who cares. All the stack cry babies can get owned.
They might drop it at the last second you never know.

Don’t forget:
Character Slots 
Deckard Cain
(Also: loot filter / highlighter but that’s probably asking for too much)

Yes, deckard cain closer to stash is too easy to be done

Rune / Gem / Key stacking would (for me) be the best option, but honestly i wouldn’t care if it was more stash tabs or more slots, as long as there will be MORE SPACE!
And i would happily trade all the sunders and TZs for an loot filter!

look like it is the case, i wonder what is the purpose of this forum.
Oh they know how. If some random mod-makers can do it - a XX Bazillion Dollar Corp can do it.
What they cannot do is: Use someone else’s work. Even appearing as if they’re doing so will make Legal go into a tizzy … When Legal is in a tizzy, sad things happen at Headquarters.
What they WILL NOT do is: Devote resources into anything if there’s no monetary return.
To Clarify: Expected, aligned resources - ie patches like we just got vs “Features and add-on’s” which is likely what they’ll classify stacking as.
If x fella up the food chain thinks(at HQ they call this “Philosophy” 
) “Those rapscallions don’t need stackables! Bah Humbug” - welp, we’ll never get them.
hum…how about "they will never do that"sounds to you?
It is not too difficult, it is a matter of whether they want to do it or not.
and obviously, THEY DON’T.
it seems will never happen

Yes please give give gibb
Maybe there is a reason they aren’t bringing rune/gem stacking to the game… Perhaps it’s due to the unique itemID that each rune has, which making them stack is likely not compatible with the code of the original game without some serious code gutting and recoding.

I agree, it’s an obvious and overwhelming unity in the playerbase about this. And it’s just QoL, it doesn’t change the gameplay one bit. Just much easier stash managment. No reason at all for them to not implement this.
Since it already exist item stacking in the game. Everything from keys to tomes that can hold x amount of one specific item. It should be a very easy and quick fix for them to make Runes/gems stackable.

From the patch notes:
Fixed an issue where the Shared Stash could exceed the memory limit, which caused items in the player’s inventory or Stash to be deleted.
Perhaps this change was required before they could attempt to add more stash tabs or more types of stacked items.
They could ultimately never do it, but this bug certainly sounds like something that would make it impossible. With it fixed, perhaps they will be able to talk about it in the future.
Personally, buying extra stash tabs seems like a no brainer whereas stacking seems more complicated to my naive understanding.
I don’t know how you’d “unstack” gems or runes for example if you wanted to take one of the chipped gems in a stack to use in a cube recipe. We can’t currently remove TP scolls from tomes or keys from stacked keys. Is there way to unstack existing items that I’m missing?
Thoughts?

Hire modders instead, they do know.

i dont think it would be too difficult if all they have too do is reformat runes code
something like
stash/inventory_runes_detection, if true then create copy of rune X as new type,then delete old type,repeat,if false=script_end
basicly they can get rid of old code when new code has finish the convertion
edit: ofc there a bit more lines of codes than what i shown but thats just the basic idea(i only have 2 years of scripting from school days XD)…+some experience with age of empire 2: age of king map editor…although thats like 17 years ago since i last done that stuff(dont remember fully how to code XD)

Stacking runes is the stupidest thing they could do in this game just think about it
I think you’d have to explain, because most everyone will disagree.

Duping if you can stack runes and gems you can have anything in less than 5 minutes say an el rune drops… you dupe it then stack it then you have 2 dupe the stack your at 4 then 8 then 16 same with gems. You can repeat this until you get zod runes cham runes jah and bers. Because the curse upgrades are a thing See the problem?

That doesn’t seem like a very good reason. That just sounds like they’ve got a game breaking duping problem that needs to be fixed. It’s really a pretty terrible reason not to give us such a huge QoL improvement.
