I’ve hit the cap on all gem fragment types, which is currently set to 999K. Now, every time gem fragments drop, they start to clutter the ground and I have to click around them to pick everything else up. The cap is literally equal to 10 of the highest tier gem, which seems oddly low given most players will have alts.
I would love to just craft those gems in order to alleviate the number of gem fragments I’m carrying, but the cost is quite expensive, so it feels like a bad solution to the issue.
So… could you please increase the gem fragment cap to like 999 million or something? Why is there a cap to begin with?

I assume they could also add an inventory check that prevents additional fragments from dropping? Too complicated?

Yep, that would work great too!
But you see, that’s a tiny bit of an actual loot filter… and they’re terrified of loot filter. There’s probably a whiteboard in the meeting room with LOOT FILTER and a 
sign on it.

Came here exactly for this topic.
I remember having the same issue last season as well, but not as soon as this time. What I did was converting the fragments into the highest tier of gems, then selling them. You will lose a lot of gold, but there’s no other workaround.
Hope that helps.
Bumping this as we need a solution. Fragments are cluttering up the screen and crafting the highest level of gems cost 10 mill each. That is a lot of gold wasted for gems you don’t need

I think POE had the ability to make custom loot filters, this would be a great quality of life addition to d4.
Yes, it should be increased. I already reached the cap and I don’t want to craft the biggest gems yet.
Please give me a way to destroy fragments that doesn’t cost resources. Also consider lowering the hordes amount in T4 that are received when taking the materials chest.
Yep. We definitely need a hotfix for this. It’s very annoying, if you want to pick up loot and your screen is cluttered with useless gem fragments. And it’s only week one of the season…

let us trade gem fragments to gold 1:1 @ jeweler or something like that 
I had this problem last season. It was bad. I got so tired of seeing the fragments laying around, that I couldn’t pick up, that i ended up spending billions in crafting gems, and then them sitting in my stash.
At the very least give us a way to delete unneeded fragments so we don’t have to spend gold to get rid of them.
Obals too need to be increased. Sometimes i just dont spend them right away.
i rather asking the overflow gems to be change into gold/ iron, even is 1 gold/ iron is better than eyesore laying on the floor.
Probably not 1:1 for iron, I would think…
But yeah, same as an inventory check that prevents additional gem fragment drops if you’re maxed. Built-in partial loot filter. Although, convert to gold drop is even better.
Could add a recipe at the Alchemist: assorted gem fragments 
obols. Alchemist is already a know-it-all anyway. Could also be placed under an ‘exchange’ category all on its own, for ‘realism’ or whatever.
Or skip the bother, and drop a small amount of obols instead, maybe 10 per fragments ‘stack’.

oh, i mean “1 gold or 1 iron”, definitely not asking 1:1. 
Came looking for this thread, i hade this problem last season also and its hella annoying.
So many ways to fix this.
Oh and Undercity tribute not giving any loot at all despite finishing with 4/4… sigh
Convert gem fragments at the alchemist. It’s free to do and you lose 100 gem fragments overall per conversion (100 gem fragments of three types turn into 200 gem fragments of one type). You’ll probably have to make a few gems at first because of the cap, but after that you can keep converting fragments until you have a more reasonable amount.
Would it be better if there were other useful options for massive amounts of gem fragments? Yes, but at least they have a free option now to get rid of them.
Ah and I appreciate your guys’ help here…but this is such a clumsy way to deal with a problem that should not exist. In lieu of a filter and at the very least Blizz, just give us another zero on the amount we can collect
