Found a bit of information. I searched as hard as I could for patch notes that mentioned any change, but I sure couldn't. Have to settle for the historical 'accuracy' of Allakhazam comments =P

You mentioned turning in 4x4 stacks... I am not familiar with the quest you mentioned, but no quest I am familiar with allows you to get credit for stacked items (only the first one on the stack). For example, turning in 4 stacks of bone chips just gives you credit for 4 bone chips. If this wasn't taken into consideration for the 5k muffin quest, that would mean you gave 20 times as many muffins as necessary (you would only need 250). Anyhow, just a thought. *shrug*

It's not such a duh. If you've done the bone chip turn in in Cab, then you might think that stacking bone chips is allowed, since for that quest, it is.
Frankly, I don't understand why they coded it so you have to do individual items. If it requires 2, then stack 2 of htem.....or at least let me take just one out.
SOE is just one big carpal tunnel lawsuit waiting to happen.

Yah, people were factioning just waay to quick for them back when you could hand in 4 stacks of 4 things at a time. Was too much of a pain for them.
Seriously, I think they removed the stacking issue to enable the code that makes NPC's hand back items they don't want. Granted they won't hand back things stacked now, but at least they'll have back un-needed or accidentally given items. Wish they could find a way to have them hand back everything not needed so we can hand in stacks again.

I absolutely agree that it was changed at some point, but I recall it specifically being only certain quests that allowed it to happen. The bone chip turn-in for Cabilis faction (as mentioned above) is one of them, and I remember cheering when Chardok factioning (turning in salts and skins to the Herald) was changed to allow stacks as well.
I personally have no problem allowing stacks to be turned in. You've got the big green light as far as being true-to-Live goes. Can it be coded as such without breaking anything else?
