1. Often it sufficed just to wait it out, but more recently I've waited 10 or more minutes to no avail. In addition to seemingly splat the pro client, it makes all my other windows lag like hell. I switched out of windows 8 capability mode, as i hypothesized that might have been an issue. So far seems better, but my proposal still stands. Make the hotkey bar more versatile for bag items.
2. I know of the subway, but unless you're going from saffron to goldenrod or vice versa...it would be a miracle for you not to find an annoying battle along the way. Besides, I only added this to bear some urgency to their developers. I already know they're working on a rework/alternative.
:thanks:
