Old+new food not stacking

[Ashantara.8731]

Dear devs,

could you please convert the old food that says "account bound" into its new, tradeable version?

We can't stack the new version with the old one, therefore unnecessarily occupying additional inventory/bank space. :/

The Release Notes tell

existing account-bound items will remain bound, but items acquired after updating the client will be unboundSo I'm afraid this won't change.

That's why I posted my plea. ;) I'm certain others feel the same way. I have several stacks of buff food for different builds, so this change is a major annoyance regarding storage space.

Use up the old before you craft new?

Simple stuff seems hard to do in this game for some reason.

Well if it becomes stackable then people who are stacking them would sell all of them for profit , maybe that's why they did this , Same goes for the serpentine jewels as well but yes, I agree there has to be some way to solve this

Really? :lol: Wow. ;) Food also drops from the daily Black Lion board in the Home Instance, so I did not craft the new one.

That makes no sense as you can still craft the new food and sell it for profit.

Indeed.

Salvage the old account bound food and start afresh

What a waste of resources, though...

Yes you can , but that would be my guess though. Imagine some people stacking them and they just put thr entire thing on to soon after the patch , it would just change the economy which anet wouldn't want

I just used my composter thingy on the account bound stash.
