I agree with most of that, the lack of basic inventory features is baffling. Diablo had weapon and armor slots in 97 ffs.

diablo 97 was a loot game, so every 3 second you put something into your bag. These somethings had like 10 different sizes, so making it fit was a large aggravation and you had to frequently run back to sell the junk which cost a portal scroll fee. So yes, it had an armor dummy that held your active gear, and in fact, 2 sets of weapons IIRC. But you had less bag space in practice (actual # of items held in it on the average) -- a LOT less. That is not to mention the very large 'rune' things you stow in your bag for a buff, at the cost of slots...

which I only mention because I don't think that it was better in spite of the armor dummy. Its the total capacity, not the dummy/no dummy, that is at issue here.
