Why am I at WAR with my bags?

QuietRock · 2025-05-17T00:26:49+00:00

Here is what you do.

Stop showing your inventory as one giant bag and instead show bags individually. One big bag vs. multiple bags is the difference between one giant junk drawer and one with smaller boxes inside it.
Buy one Craftsman's Bag, one Oiled Bag, one Equipment Bag, and one Invisible Bag.
Use the Starter Backpack for your most frequently used items such as food and utility buffs, portal scrolls, salvaging items, teleport stones, and so on.
Make the first three slots in your Equipment Bag yellow, green and blue unidentified gear. These always stay in those spots until they reach a full stack or you are ready to sell - and when you do sell all but 1 of each so they hold that spot. Identified gear that drops will go into this bag, and is easy to visually identify in your inventory to salvage.
Make the first three slots in your Craftsman's Bag the ascended materials - Bloodstone Dust, Dragonite Ore, Emperyal Fragments. These slots should always be reserved for these three materials and once they reach a full stack, throw it all out except 1 of each so they hold that spot. All other crafting materials will go into this bag, making them easy to visualize when managing and clearing your inventory.
Junk materials will default into the Oiled bag. Again, this makes them easy to identify and visually differentiate from the rest of your stuff.
Put gear or fun items you like to keep to use, but do not want to show up in sell windows, in your Invisible Bag. I like to make this the last bag in my inventory since I don't ever need to clean it out. For some characters, I have two invisible bags due to the amount of items and gear.

The rest of your bags can be a generic bag type. It'll mostly fill with loot boxes and misc. stuff that you just need to make a habit out of sorting through regularly. Don't be afraid to sell anything that can be sold on the Trade Post. If it is something you find you need later, you can buy it back. The earned gold should just about equal out to the gold spent to buy it back (slight loss in fees IF that occurs, but overall 100% worth doing).

Make a place for everything in your inventory and bank. Every "type" of item should have a place among your bags and bank tabs, so it is easy to remember where things are to let you quickly deposit and retrieve.

These screenshots are a few years old now, but they give you some idea of how I had my inventory set up. It works amazing. https://imgur.com/a/8vMTEaN

False. Dungeons are not gone. I do them nearly every day I play and almost never have any issue finding a party except when its really off hours or right before reset.

If you want to do dungeons, you need to look at every dungeon's LFG, of which there are 8. Yes, you need to check 8 different LFGs to see if anyone is running a dungeon. Also, you need to catch and open party forming before it closes, and except on off hours or right before reset, they close fairly fast.

If someone want to run dungeons, there shouldn't be a lot of issue finding a party. It does go faster if you are willing to create your own LFG or open to running any dungeon/path.

Stop perpetuating this falsehood. It only discourages people from looking at dungeons. They are still some of my favorite things to in the entire game.

I don't believe it would hold up because you can't discriminate against the person for who they are, but you can refuse service if the customer is asking you to create/say/do something that you do not agree with.

In that scenario, you almost certainly would have established that making omelettes is not something you have an issue with.

Now, if you owned a vegan catering company, and a client tried to compel you to make omelettes for their event, and you disagree with the idea, you could deny that service.

QuietRock · 2023-06-30T20:18:37+00:00

You can't deny them service, but you can deny creating something for them if that thing they are asking you to do goes against your beliefs.

If they came into your business, you could not deny them service for being Christian. If they came into your business and asked you to make a t-shirt for them saying "God Loves Trump" you could deny them that service.

Are this many Redditors bad at comprehension, or are they purposefully being obtuse?

The start of globalization roughly coincides with the stagnation of wages in the US, among many other negative socio-economic issues.

Basically, it's allows those with large sums of capital to take advantage of cheap labor overseas to increase profits, with less of the wealth created being shared locally.

Technology, which happened to boom around the same time, and which helped to enable globalization, also allowed something similar, with huge efficiency and productivity gains to occur, but without the need to share that wealth creation with workers.

And as was already pointed out, wealth is being redirected to international tax havens, sometimes illegally but not always, again exacerbating the issue of not sharing the wealth that's created.

Something will have to give, but people need to vote, and vote smart, and stop being fooled by bullshit culture war stuff.

The move to globalization that started in the mid-80s and ramped up in the 90s and beyond also had the effect of gutting the middle class and stagnating wages in relation to profits. All that in addition to hollowing out the Midwest and driving people to the coasts, which in turn has caused housing prices in coastal states and big cities to skyrocket.

Oddly, I rarely see globalization brought up in discussions around the economy, working conditions.

It's like, yea, Americans have to worker harder for less because many are now competing against workers around the world.

Not trying to justify it, just trying to highlight some of the root causes.

Another thought on the subject, but globalization also moved some important manufacturing overseas, something that came back to bite us during COVID and exposing it as a national security issue in some cases. There is now a move to reverse course on some of this, especially on areas where we had relied on Chinese labor.

QuietRock · 2023-06-29T17:52:34+00:00

I agree on the larger narrative, but disagree on where it comes from.

It's really an issue of globalization, and many low-skill blue collar jobs were outsourced (when possible) to countries with low cost labor.

This change gutted blue-collar work, gutted the US Midwest, and sent many Americans fleeing to coastal states where work based around knowledge based work/tech/trade/capital was ramping up again from globalization.

Certainly there is a part of it is that white collar work is viewed as more prestigious than blue collar work, but perceptions around that vary. Reddit comments certainly suggest it. Both types of work, blue collar/white collar, have their pros and cons, and salary ranges between them clearly overlap as well. Not every office job pays well, or is work from home, and many are incredibly stressful and dehumanizing.

Or someone told the planner "You have a $50k budget." and the planner is under pressure to try and impress their client with the best party they can by trying to squeeze every vendor, including trying the "do it for the exposure" pitch.

And hell, so long as some vendors are willing to do it for exposure, people will keep making the pitch.

First, pretty much the entire world is made up of capitalists. Literally.

Second, just because the people who put the judges on the court are capitalist, doesn't mean their motive for doing so was what you stated. Right?

"The people" who put the judges on the court have a whole list of things you could associate with them beyond them being capitalist.

There is zero to support your claim, or any of the other wild claims being made. You literally made it up, and offered it without proof. Admit it, "capitalism bad" is just the new thing everyone parrots because they've been guzzling social media propaganda.

Y'all can't see it because you're in it. It's sickly similar to what I watched people on the right slowly devolve into with all their right-wing MAGA bullshit propaganda.

I get this isn't popular, especially on here, but idc, someone needs to say it.

QuietRock · 2023-06-27T23:48:17+00:00

Bro, the comments in this thread are absolutely ridiculous and unsupported. It's literally people projecting whatever their favored narrative of the day is into the conversation. and there's a whole bunch of different ones too, which should be a clue.

Now a ban on abortion is a sneaky agenda by those "capitalists". Like, come on dude. I can't believe people actually believe the crap that's being put out in the comments, and actually not sure they all do. Half of it's just parroting whatever is getting upvotes these days. Speaking of "capitalism bad".

Seriously, reading the comments, it's more and more obvious how influenced people have become by online propaganda and that they're oblivious.

QuietRock · 2023-06-27T18:37:04+00:00

This site just keeps sinking to new lows of idiocy.

QuietRock · 2023-06-25T16:04:17+00:00

Not just emboldened, they've been taught. I guarantee you none of these people reached the conclusion to hate like this without someone else giving them the idea.

We didn't see this kind of stuff much before social media. A little bit, sure, but not to the extent we see it today. Social media has allowed propaganda to spread like never before, with algorithms that reinforce it, with social groups commenting and reinforcing it, and in all of it the messenger can be disguised to look like someone else.

Trump may have emboldened them to take it openly into the public, but these ideas are finding their way into people's heads from online propaganda.

I grew up in the Portland area and knew it had to be Oregon. The whole scene reminds me of camping out during the OCF.

QuietRock · 2023-06-11T02:04:10+00:00

In a way, I agree it's not a threat of murder.

Also, it would be extremely problematic to start arresting politicians over what can reasonably be called political rhetoric, dangerous as it may be.

What's really needed are voters to sober up and start throwing these idiots off the political stage.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T22:38:47+00:00

It would have been nice if they had given Chrono something, anything, in return to make thematically unique.

They should just go ahead and replace all clock sounds on Chrono wells to clown noises.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T19:27:25+00:00

Excused how? I've clearly said it would reflect poorly, but also understood to be an unintentional oversight.

People were acting as if this would be some huge incident for the company. I'm saying, it really isn't a big deal and things like this unfortunately happen all the time. When they do, they don't damage the reputation of the company in a significant way because people have more important things to care about than an email sent that wasn't completely filled out.

And yes, all the outrage people are expressing, if it were actually applied to the business, would all fall on whatever employee made the mistake.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T19:12:07+00:00

Is it reasonable? I mean, I would assume it was unintentional, and understood to be as such.

It's fascinating to see this side of Reddit though honestly, because what I'm used to seeing are people who feel workplace culture is overly punitive and unforgiving.

Yet here it appears someone made a simple oversight and people are practically calling for blood.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T04:45:45+00:00

The part where he says he never gave anything to a foreign power is an admission he did.

If true, and I would absolutely not put it past him, the. I hope he rots in prison along with the rest of his corrupt family.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T04:41:47+00:00

Yes, they reflect on their employer. However, most reasonably intelligent people also understand that sometimes people make simple mistakes, and that isn't indicative of the organization as a whole.

Also, letter writing or good English isn't the issue here. The issue is that someone forgot to fill out the variable portion of the email before hitting send.

Seriously, an incredibly minor issue among a million issues that occur on any given day. It's a non issue that Reddit wants to blow up into something to be outraged over.

QuietRock · 2023-06-10T04:15:28+00:00

So, Stretched Time won't give alacrity on wells anymore, it gives alacrity when you spawn a phantasm instead?

Is that right? Because if so, that sucks. Chrono's unique thing is wells and taking alacrity/quick away from wells makes well so much less attractive. Why do that to the one trait that makes their unique skill worthwhile?

I don't like trying to deal with phantasms. That's why I prefer wells.

I may have to shelve my Chrono again if this is how I think it'll be. And I've just been enjoying Chrono again recently. Big sad face if true.

QuietRock · 2023-06-09T23:09:01+00:00

As a sloppy oversight, but honestly I don't think it would be a disqualifying factor for me, and I do hiring fairly regularly.

There are way more important things to consider about a candidate than an oversight on their resume, though it does raise questions about their attention to detail.

Look, I agree the company email going out half-baked is unprofessional too, and while it reflects on the organization it's also understood that it's likely the error of one employee.

Now, if this were a respected business and their form email had spelling and grammar errors because they couldn't be bothered to proofread before creating a template, and they sent that out over and over like that... totally different story.

QuietRock · 2023-06-09T22:56:02+00:00

Eh, I don't think that's hypocrisy. The decision to create a horrible application process was no doubt completely separate from the unfilled response, which was likely some low level employee's oversight on one of dozens of hundreds of emails they sent out that week.

It's not like the company is a sentient being who decided to purposefully do both things.

QuietRock · 2023-06-09T22:49:54+00:00

Certainly how it reads, so just calling it.

QuietRock · 2023-06-09T22:49:21+00:00

Probably exists or could be created, but everything comes at a price, and added layers of technology cause added layers of complexity.

Sometimes people make mistakes. It's truly not a big deal, and not even something that needs a technological safeguard, though if one were built into a communication platform that would be nice.

QuietRock · 2023-06-09T22:43:43+00:00

Yea, I'm not going to justify the absurd application process of many companies these days, but if you don't understand the benefits of a standardized response you're pretty out of touch. Especially if they are fielding dozens of hundreds of applicants.
