This is really weird and just smacks of jealousy over people who have past lives. Do better. Make sense.
Item hoarding

I once had a hoard that would make a Dragon weep with envy. Then something clicked one day while I was managing it... I have an entire bank character that holds nothing but potions. I always save rare potions for "When I really need them" but if I'm in a quest, and I really need that supreme stats potion, it's not doing me any good if they are all on a alt and I can't get to them. I looked and I had over 50 treasure hunters potions across different sizes... I began to realize that "When I really need them" would never come if I left them there, and never used them. Some items it sort of made sense to do this, like guild renown potions, wait until you have 10-15 sagas, and a guild renown weekend, chug a pot and collect your sagas... but not most potions/items... actually IRL I've found most items that go into storage, will never come out of storage... and started to apply my RL sort and remove strategies to my in game storage. IRL if I put something into the attic, and it's been 5 years since I've used it, I tend to get rid of it. Same in game. items that once were worth a lot, are now almost worthless, at it's better to get rid of it than it is to keep it. Now my hoard is much more managable, and has shrunk greatly.

But are you going to tell one of the best push raiding players if mythic and reaper items drop in raids? For the love of god, stop making a fool of yourself talking about things you don't know and telling others how they should play.

My experience is there are just alot of players that have limited play time and they tend to permanently put off dealing with inventory because it's an unfun aspect of the game. This is a much more common reason why people have an inventory issue vs. hoarding. I mean hoarding disorders are pretty uncommon like <1% of the population, and a large % in DDO hate dealing with inventory.
So I think OP is wrong and off-base on their assessment.
I also think DDO will lose players if SSG just writes this off as a player issue - what percentage I don't know.

Hoarding 100 stacks of traveler's tokens from a 15-year old event, or running completely naked. There is nothing in between.

Lol. I am certain Ying knows he’s a hoarder. That is a problem. There is zero chance player tr cache is completely full beyond his toon’s ability to hold things with reaper mythic raid items… especially ones that have any level of relevancy. The only items that have relevancy from older non level cap raids are relevant for their ability to become augments with a few rare exceptions (but not 200 exceptions).

Exactly. There is plenty of moderation available, but the hoarders refuse to budge and that has made this a problem for all players.Hoarding 100 stacks of traveler's tokens from a 15-year old event, or running completely naked. There is nothing in between.

1st, your arrogant way of just dismissing other playstyles simply disgusts me.
2nd, I do not raid, all my items are cannith crafted over several years, and used every life, making your whole point pointless.
3rd, players are angry because we were officially told that we can transfer the cache. Now they change that last minute. But hey, we (SSG) have a solution for your problem: spent more money to fix what our lack of skill can not.

Shaming players for holding onto hard-earned items is a wild take, as are your arbitrary numbers.<100, and on 3 or fewer chars
And you can tell me its wrong all you want, because my fun doesnt affect others
And also because I actually *have* fun instead of repeatedly engaging in gameplay that just leaves me frustrated, and then complaining the game isnt tailored to my play, rather than changing what I can actually control about it. I'm far less upset about the handful of items I've deleted and then had to farm again than all the people I see posting about how inventory management in the game is so un-fun.

Um CC items are bta. You literally have zero argument. And oh I’m so sorry I hurt your feelings. Let me cry my last tear just for you over a videogame.

There are certain people that always want to attack other players.
At this point it's clear DDO inventory is challenging for many people even when a transfer isn't involved. The combination of the unexpected tr cache issue and the 8/31 deadline makes dealing with their inventory issues super difficult for people with limited time and money. Some of us have the time or the money to throw at this problem. I do not want my friends that don't want to deal with the inventory to leave the game.
Just based on reactions the past few days I can't imagine anyone with friends not having at least one friend that finds this inventory task extremely daunting and way too time-consuming.
Let's not start our server merge with a population decline please SSG.

1) it was a joke, lol
2) if that's how you respond to taking my post seriously, didn't you just admit that you are just jealous of people who have more loot?

Its not about blaming players for holding onto the loot. Its about trusting a system held together by elmers glue and scotch tape, which we have seen hundreds of people over the years report ate all of their items, to which the typical solution was they were returned three.
All to see the same system come up yet again as an issue holding the entire operation back. 16 years after the fact.
My days of not trusting the TR cache system to hold onto that type of stash are certainly coming to a middle.

Do you still run around with rags on your toons though Gimp? Maybe you should at least wash them??

Things don't have value because you earned them. Things have value because you use them.
That's not "your fun is wrong", that's just the fact that these are ones and zeroes, and the only purpose they have is to influence the math underlying combat
Also what's wild is when people try to argue that there *is* no number, regardless where you arbitrarily think the number should be

It's a SSG problem. Up until yesterday when they changed the transfer rules, the TR cache system was working just fine for players' needs (or at the least, folks were functioning within the parameters SSG has given us for years). No one is asking other players to fix it as it's not your fault, we're asking SSG to fix the problem they just created; and while we're doing so, a bunch of other players are chiming in blaming us rather than SSG for changing the transfer rules.
