[Eighty Swords]

You've taken my quote out of context. I was speaking about your idea of making ore and logs weigh less, not about a raise in everyones carry capacity.

Yes, that is the target of my suggestion, to reduce the weight of a few specific items, not everything in the world (reducing the weight of everything being the equivalent of increasing everyone's carrying capacity).

And thanks for clearing up that we're talking about bags that reduce the weight of its contents. I think we were all unable to comprehend until you laid it out so clearly.

Sarcasm really isn't due here...

Exactly. A satchel for carrying large amounts of raw ore or ignots would be crafted in a very different way from one designed to carry bundles of logs. Its pretty simple really. If your a miner, you mine a lot, perhaps are doing bs as well, thats a good investment for you. You can still log, just not carrying 2x as much. If you decide later you want to increase your log carry capacity you might invest in one. Its a bonus not an essential.

And who says nobody will ever harvest more then one resource in their time on UO? With different bags it's more money going from the gatherer currently working the hardest or longest to the crafter who has an item handed to him on a silver platter to make him richer... So instead of lowering weights to benefit everyone, crafters get the extra benefit of yet another means to make money when they don't have a use for the item themselves.

Out of everything you wrote, the only people I see benefiting from this craftable item is someone with the necessary crafting skills already GMed and giving them another item to make money off their GMed skills.

So the resourcers being able to carry 2x as much isnt beneficial to them? Uh.. ok

That's the exact point though, it's the gatherers who need this the most, not someone trying to PVP or someone with GMed crafts who makes items on an as needed basis and not to raise their skills.

Just like how the bomberman event was added to give the non hardcore PVPers an enjoyable event, or how more quests are added to make the RPers happy, or how CTF and DM were added to make the PVPers happy. Everything added to this server has a a target audience, and in the case of my suggestion the target audience is gatherers.
