Nonsense. There’s no reason for the change, there’s no reason to remove functionality. If I harvest just a bit too much plant fiber, or iron, or stone, or anything else I don’t want to sit there for 20 minutes clicking like mad to break down the stack in order to drop just enough to get under my encumbrance limit and I’m certainly not dropping a huge amount of resources that I just spent time harvesting.

We always had the ability to quickly drop off materials, and a lot of us did, so removing the function that let us precise split wasn’t necessary. We used it when we needed it, didn’t use it when we didn’t - but sometimes we absolutely did need it.
