A recent QoL change made it so EXP or Drop coupons awarded at the same time (such as Rest coupons for not logging in for a while) stack in inventory.
This is a very welcome change.

However, it does not solve all the inventory-clog issues caused by EXP/Drop coupons.
Events like the current Sugar Rush give many such coupons, but not all at the same time. Since each coupon's expiration time is set when it is awarded (typically to exactly 7 days later), it means each one has a different expiration time and therefore they can't stack in inventory.

Similarly, the Daily Hong Bao items and the buff coupons they give all have different expirations times and consequently clog up the inventory.

I suggest that coupons and other expiring event Use items have their expiration dates or times rounded up to the end of the day when they're to expire (e.g., all Feb 10 Sugar Time exp coupons expire at 23:59 on Feb 17) or the end of the event (e.g., all Daily Hong Bao items expire one week after the event ends, so at 23:59 on Feb 27).

    I definitely would have liked to see this implemented.

    That said, I don't think it really helps my current situation where I have something like 20+ Hong Bao coupons that expire in the next day to two. That like 10 hours of 3x Exp or 5 hours of 3x Exp/Drop and frankly I don't have that kinda time. Feels like a waste to just let them expire too.

    I would love for a way to stack the buffs for some greater multiplier even if it came with diminishing returns.

    I like maple but I kinda wish Nexon wasn't trying so hard to monopolize all our free time with these events, dailies, and coupons.

    I apologize for getting off topic. Hopefully, you can forward your own threads.
