Summer Sale gem stack issue

[Garou]

Backgrounds and emotes recycled during this summer sale create gems that are spread across multiple stacks that can't be combined. Make it possible to combine gems into one single stack to make gem sacks

They inherit the restrictions from the items you gemmed.

Trade them and trade them back to combine them.

When you break items into gems that are on a cooldown timer before being able to sell on the market or for trade the gems get that cooldown timer, which is why you have multiple stacks instead of just stacking, keep them separated.

You can stack the gems in a bag once you have total of 1000, can be used to craft cards, or sell that bag on the market.

Also gems with cooldown timer on hold used to craft cards will also get a cooldown timer.

That isn't really a fix, it's a workaround. A company with Valve's technical resources should be able to fix such an obvious bug. When trade and marketing restriction date passes gems should be combined automatically.

You mean the inheritance cooldown all items get from their parent items?

That is not a bug.

That's the thing, I have 5 stacks in total. 3 of them have restriction, i.e Tradable After: 7/3/2018, 3:00:00 AM. But 2 remaining stacks of 613 and 510 gems have no restrictions and have exactly the same description. My issue is with these 2 stacks. If trading is the only way to combine I'll wait for all stacks to become tradable, but it shouldn't be done like this.

I'm not saying it shouldn't. It was always that way. You can even use the search to find the hundreds of other threads about this since Gems were introduced.

Report a bug here: (gems without a trade hold don't automatically combine)

In the meantime, the solution is to trade with someone who has enough gems, one for one. I don't mind doing that, I currently have over 11k gems.

Also this has nothing to do with the summer sale, it has been a known and annoying "feature" since gems were introduced.
