NPCs do not accept cash

Both clients, NPCs will not accept gold from your backpack when purchasing items and will only accept gold if deposited into the bank.

Expected result: gold to be taken primarily from backpack and secondarily from bank box.

It's been this way since the changes to the gold system.

This really needs changed, as it affects new and returning players who do not know about the changes. The ONLY thing currently that loose coin in the backpack can be used for is buying up skills (unless you count things like the Prism entry quest that you have to mark 10,000 gold as a quest item).

I think we may have lost an additional function here also. When you craft something, if you put the resources in a container, the items you craft would appear in that container. I can't remember but imagine if you used to put gold in a container, the items you purchase would fall in that container.

At the moment, all purchased items drop into the top level of the backpack as gold is (erroneously) taken from the bank.
