hehe, at the risk of being hung for not being a hunter.. but rather a gardener, mule and merchant... Plants take on average 16 days to grow and harvest, some you can only get through hunting and others more luck and skill. For big gardeners who run floral shop vendors where you have folks growing 500 to 1000 plants at a time grouping these seeds was a HUGE storage savings. ( and there are a dedicated few out there who do) To have it all go poof really blows.
Now I didn't notice anything else in my pack or house disappear, but if you were over item count or weight it said stuff would fall to the ground. And I did notice that for a time the bags in my backpack even though 1 looked empty both listed 15 items per bag. So... who knows what other uses people found for this issue.
And gifts coming out today is a nice bonus and the loss of all those blasted webs all over I think is also awesome, I'd like to see some room on vendors for other stuff.
