Item consolidation or auto-stack feature.

Hi everyone,

I was chatting in Global Chat this morning and this idea had good uptake, both from players and Araldia who asked me to add it here. :-)

I often find myself with multiple items in my bags that aren't max stacked. This is a waste of space, so I manually sort and stack items in my bags a few times a day. I'd love a feature to "consolidate items" or "auto-stack stuff" in bags (just the ones I'm carrying would be fine) so I don't have wasted spots.

For example, I may get beans from three places. One, a bag at my house next to my bean tree. Two, a second bag in my house of items I'd gathered while out on the streets. And three, the beans in my inventory I've been using to cook Awesome Stews. If I pick up the 'tree' and 'gathered stuff' bags then I could have three bean stacks, each with less than 250 beans, let's say 43 beans, 203 beans, and 4 beans. It's tedious to manually find and combine those beans to get two open up a couple of bag spots but I'd much rather have one stack of 250 beans and those free spaces.

Another area I see this being useful is for items that are related but have different stack amounts, such as herbs. Yellow Crumb Flowers and Silvertongue stack in batches of 9, but the other herbs stack in batches of 5. An auto-stack function would take care of that detail so players don't need to learn the different max stack size of various items.

Thank you!
