Greetings Site Feedback,
I come here on behalf of the Bug Reports and Tech Support Forum.
Today, I would like to discuss a little something which has been growing to be a problem for all of us over the past year or two:
The Item Cap
"We have an item cap?" some of you might say. And my answer is yes, yes we do.
This was confirmed over a year ago by carbonphyber, but the cap itself has existed since the creation of the site (or so we theorize)
The limit itself is a rather large number (20,000 items), so some of you might think that it isn't much of a threat.
However, with 1,000 pack Caches, increased item hoarding, and hundreds of Boost CIs being granted to single accounts (thanks to the recent event),
there has been an alarming increase in the amount of people hitting this item cap. And the symptoms of hitting the cap aren't pretty:
Trades are broken, Inventories won't load, and some people can't even make a forum post to report their problems.
I brought up this issue back in February at AtS and managed to get a reply, but all we were told was that the staff was "looking into it"
It is now 8 months later and it doesn't look like anything has been "looked into", and the number of accounts affected by this only grows.
... and trying to fix it on the user side is a pain, since it heavily relies on if you are lucky enough to still get your inventory to load.
(We have heard little to no replies about actual staff members stepping in to help fix this)
In conclusion... my feedback is that I would really love to see some work being done in order to increase/fix the item cap bugs.
If the staff needs us to do any testings as users in order to provide further information, I would be happy to help.
I can even redirect you to some of the many threads posted about the issue in BR&TS, if you want to talk to victims of this bug.
Thank you for your time and discussion.
P.S. I realize that "fix this bug" threads are generally discouraged in this forum, but this sort of information/discussion thread doesn't exactly belong in BR&TS. I apologize if you still think that it shouldn't be in here, but this is the best place for me to reach out to the staff about it, as well as raise community awareness about the problem.
