Guild Wars 2

Is their any chance the “compact” option in the inventory drop down list could be moved? To say, the bottom on that list?

Having it right underneath the “Deposit all Materials” option is asking for trouble – I know I’ve accidentally hit it heaps of times and it’s reorganized my whole inventory Grrr! I can’t be the only one.

Or maybe have it so if you hit it again, it puts everything back where it was before?

I did that yesterday and though the same. It would be better at the bottom.

It would be much better if we had a chance to disable it. All my characters use invisible bags because of this nuisance “feature”.(invisible bags do not compact) What purpose does it serve to scramble around your inventory?
To clarify, I don’t think that they should take it out of the game. Just please give us a choice to turn it off, or disable it.

I hate compacting my inventory by accident. It takes ages to get everything rearranged the way I like it. Honestly, I’d just like Deposit Materials to have it’s own button, and not be stuck in that drop down menu, as it’s used far more often than any of the other options there.

I actually make frequent use of both Deposit and Compact in conjunction when managing my inventory. I store vital items in my topmost bag (Perma items, 1 of each weapon type, and important consumables), followed by several more regular bags. At the bottom are a craftsman’s bag and several invisible bags to store additional armor sets, weapons, common stackable drops that I don’t want to deal with (BL chests, Blade Shards), and other important but less frequently used items. This makes swapping out gear through the Hero panel much quicker for me.

I think the key is to develop a system that works for your needs, depending on what game modes you play and the types of items you always carry. The Compact function can be a useful part of that.

Elestian, would you mind if it was moved away from the “Deposit all Materials” option in the menu?

This, yes. I don’t mind them keeping it. Just shift it away from the only other option that most people use frequently. At the bottom of that context list would be fine.

Not at all! I just meant to say that if it’s a recurring problem for anyone, they may consider working around it in the meantime, such that it doesn’t cause difficulties with inventory management.

Honestly, I’d even like for them to have their own keybindings, since I imagine most players use them so frequently. I just don’t know how functional that would really be. Chances are, if you’re using them, you’re already looking through your inventory anyway. /o\
