Guild Wars 2

It’s so easy to misclick and prompts 10 minutes of reorganising the inventory. Show/hide bags on the other hand wouldn’t have any negative impact.

Edit to elaborate:

I keep everything I want to keep at the bottom of my inventory, nicely sorted. If I get a rare weapon I want to forge, I move it down. So everything above is just salvageables and vendor crap. When I want to click deposit all materials, it may happen that I accidentally click compact, which messes up everything. Switching those 2 should be pretty easy.

Please?

That’s kind of what the invisible/safe bags were made for, though.

Buy an invisible bag. Problem solved.

+1 what the OP said, i like my bags, i arrange them just the way i want them, and once in a while BOOM all hell breaks loose and i click compact…takes 5-10 minutes to reorganize everything perfectly…

maybe for some it’s not a problem(i’ve seen plenty of inventory screenshots) but for me every item has a place and a bag…And also can’t really afford new bags now >.<

So buy an invisible bag, it’s what they’re there for.

Do one or two dungeon runs and you can buy a 15 or even an 18 slot one..

I think that this is a great idea. But people have suggested similar things before, and nothing has been done about it.(Though this is probably the most practical solution yet.) You might make a plan to get invisible bags. 18 slot bags are the best value for the money, IMO.

I like the idea; it’s probably the easiest way to help the issue. An alternate suggestion is to give players a toggle on the Compact option to lock it out so it won’t work when clicked no matter where in the list it is.

I think I’ve only hit it in error once but what a mess, it was on my clotheshorse who has a million light armor pieces sorted out by armor slot and arranged from skimpiest to full coverage … I was so crushed when it turned out the Wardrobe wouldn’t offer constant mix and match changing

when i accidently push compact, it moves like 2 things, because i have 2 invisible bags.

I actually much prefer the way it is now. I use collectibles and compact often.
