I dunno, I like the idea of different bags, craftable by GM tailoring. You can make it expensive to make them in range of 20-25k, 30k to sell probably so a crafter can make a profit. Could be done similar to weaving where you have a limited use kit.
Would be better not to group them together, heres why. If you make a bag lumber/mining resources, then the resource gatherer only needs 1 bag to do everything. Two different bags means he needs to buy them based on what he will use it for. A wool/cotton/thread/flax/etc bag would be good too for tailors.
The nice thing about the bag system is its boosting economy, its also expandable as in you can always add in new bags later with different benefits or made from different mats etc.
Aside from that, I'd personally like a quest or event or something that allows me to increase max carry capacity, even if only by 10% or something.
Eightyswords I see what your trying to say about just a blanket 1 weight per ore or log etc. But that actually isnt fair to everyone. It ofcourse benefits resource gatherers only. And if you want increased carry capacity in your person so you dont have to use things like a packhorse, then yeah I think you should be paying for that, and also risking something.
Right now, a miner has a small reg bag, a rune to town, a pick, and some ores on him. Its not worth killing miners because you prolly spend more on the scrolls then you get from killing them. However if miners or lumberjacks are carrying around a bag worth 30-40k that makes them a target. Why is that good? Because resourcing here you will never die if you go to remote places, of which there are plenty. No pvpers bother to look for miners, just no profit in it.
Also, I dont think 30% reduction is enough, because now the miners have something valuble on them and need to be able to defend themselves. So now they need to wear a set of armor so explode doesnt just own them and they lose their expensive bag, they'll want to carry some scrolls/pots, etc. For a lootable bag that reduces the weight of the resources inside it by 50% I'd pay 40k for that I'm sure. Just be aware though, that this isnt something new players would be able to afford easily. It took me at least a few days to buy a house for 35k or whatever when I started.
Although in response to whoever was saying its hard to get 40k, its not, especially not now for a new player. Get your magery off stone with archery and hide or something, macro eval int. Go to dungeon, kill some stuff till you got enough money for some blade scrolls. Then within a few hours running around killin extremes you can have 50k no bother. Its just about knowing where stuff is, and whats the most profitable, which new players ofcourse dont know. But my point is, if any long time player who has knowledge of the hunting spawns and stuff was to start a new char fresh with no interference from their other chars they could easily accumulate 40k very quickly.
