I'd be interested in understanding this too.
Arrows, from a physics point of view, i can understand why we wouldn't want a quiver holding a thousand arrows... even though we can have 100+ stacks of 99x each in our inventory...
Gems... just having "something" to put them all in to help organise the inventory would be fantastic.
Feel's strange that we can carry multiple sets of armour and dozens of bulky weapons, yet be fully functional.
Would a change in the carrying limits not be a progressive increase for all? After all, the High STR builds would be able to carry more (still LOTS more than the Low STR builds, so no disadvantage to High STR builds) and the lower STR builds will be able to carry more (perhaps make it through a single dungeon before being encumbered) but still less than STR builds.
The only 'roleplay' reason I can think of why we'd want to put a carrying limitation on our characters is to force them to return to a town as part of a Restock/Rest RP cycle. That I agree with... it's what an adventurer would do. Potentially helps slow down those that would loot all the dungeons on the server in a single rest cycle?
Is this then a case of attempting to limit the performance and convenience of the minority, at the expense of the majority?
Let's keep the discussion healthy and respectful people. It's just a game after all.
