Instead of making all these different containers to store items: Ore box, gem bag, herb bag, rune bags, plank box, and now wood box, why don't you simply make all items stackable? With all these boxes, having to teleport to a bank and empty them have become more of an annoyance than something that is supposed to make it take longer. Just make everything stackable and forget about the boxes.

When using a stack of items in a skill, make a limit to how many we can use in one go, like it is with fletching. Arrow shafts stack, feathers stack, headless arrows stack, arrowheads stack, and finished arrows stack, and we can make up to 15 batches in one go. Do the same with all other skills. Make this back and forth to a bank a thing of the past. People are training most skills on portables anyway, right next to a bank. Why must the bank be involved in that? It does nothing to make training take longer, or stop afk, or whatever it is supposed to do. It is just an annoyance.

Having to bank items is a leftover from old times when we only had 28 slots, and things were located far away from banks. That is not how the game is anymore. Now we have BOBs, bags, boxes, porters, relics, notepaper, leprechaun etc. They all do the same thing, namely eliminating the need to constantly run to a bank, which is essentially the same as simply stacking the items in the inventory, so why does it have to be so complicated, with all these different containers and tools?

Do you want to destroy the game?

What do you mean, destroy the game? I can have 250+ logs in my box + bob + inventory. What difference would it make if they stacked? It is only a nuicense to have to bank.

The game has changed. It is not like it used to be, where everything was far from a bank, and having to run back and forth took a lot of time. Banking takes no time anymore. We can lug around 10 times as many items, and even note them or have them send to the bank with porters. We can teleport directly to a bank. We train our skills on portable stations right next to a bank. We don't even have to move. Just click the bank and the preset. What is the point of having the bank involved at all? Just stack the items. The limit of the inventory is an obsolete reminiscence from many years ago. Take a hint from other MMOs.

Certainly sounds like we don't need stackable stuff then!

Also, who cares how other games handly their inventories? Some don't have a bank at all, so there it would make sense to be able to carry more (completely unrealistic amounts of) stuff around.

The logic with item stacking is that stackable items are small. If RS was real life runes would be the size of pebbles. As mentioned above - it would also destroy the game. Imagine if sailfish, overloads, and prayer potions could be stacked. People would be able to visit a boss or camp a high lvl slayer monster and not have to leave for weeks. Botting would return in ways we've never seen before.
