I partially disagree:
1) the JB as now can be obtained with at least two differen Holiday Tokens, that are plentiful on Vendors and cost only a few 100,000 GPs, so you don't vast "a Pick", as in "Veteran Reward";
2) the JB saves a lot Secure spots in Houses (not everyone has Castles to use as wharehouses).
This said, I totally agree that the JB should have come with a Search function as every other container type.
I.
The problem with this is depending on shard they are not
'plentiful' on vendors. On siege where there is ONE char per account
and no Atlantic Shopping Mall then the numbers are minimal. Most people have only the one or two. It would be impossible to have multitudes of them to facilitate searching.
However, on Oceania I have HUNDREDS of tokens, the point is I may as well just put the jewelry in a backpack. IF the item was a small colored box that you could sit in a corner and then stack 10 high you could make one with warrior jewels,bard jewels, tamer jewels, etc etc but even then you still have to mouse over every single bit to find one. You still cannot order them as take one out and you can't put it back in the same spot.
As it is the ugly huge standing thing eliminates the possibility of stacking them neatly and the last thing I want is a huge row of those taking up real estate in my house, not to mention that you still can't find anything in them.
With no search function the thing is basically unusable and useless. The fact it saves on lockdowns is it's ONLY value, but I value my sanity more than lockdowns. I do not want to spent an hour running over a hundred tallies looking for the ONE i need. I prefer my regular chest where I can use the search function to find the bit I need in seconds, not an hour.
I run vendors that sell jewelry, when restocking them I need to be able to see what mods are needed on the vendor and then search my stock simply, so ie type in +15 magery to find any magery jewelry for re-stocking, I do not wanna run my cursor over 500 pieces in that box to find them.
Saving lockdowns is fine but without the ability to search it was such a wasted opportunity. They could just as easily of increased the lockdowns in a house by 500 and given us nothing just said the 500 was so you could store more jewelry. In my view that would of been better, at least then I could shove the things in a chest and search and got the lockdown bonus.
And as for not paying for the JB as another said (as it was a gift), I would say we all pay a subscription for new content and new items. How these are presented doesn't really matter we have PAID for them with our subscription, without new content and items we would all quit. A bit of thought and understanding of what the players, who PAY for this game, want and need would be nice. It seems whoever designed this totally disregarded this philosophy.
Sadly, after waiting 20 yrs for this item, I would be embarrassed to even put this item up, even as a so called 'gift' if I was game developer. It was so far off the mark.
