the artifact stacking thing is really nice when it was added but there is a catch.

1)artifacts CANNOT be unstacked once stacked
2)sending an artifact from a stack sends the WHOLE stack
3)the share features work for the top artifact only, so you lose them on ALL the artifacts that you stacked into it
4)because stacked artifacts act as a single artifact, the WHOLE stack can be stolen in a raid.
5)not stacking the artifacts results in SEVERE performance issues, so most will opt for performance/convienience over functionality.
6) cannot scrap X artifact(s), when scrapping it will scrap the whole stack

im not sure it would be very hard to set up something that can
1) send X artifact(s) from the stack to a friend/ally
2) scrap X artifact(s) from stack
3) in a raid, subtract one from the stack instead of just transferring ownership of the artifact. it would be better to subtract from the count and create a NEW artifact for the person that raided. when the count hits 0 its deleted.

I noticed this too; I sold an entire stack, thinking I was only selling one at a time. Maybe the minerals system could be used on the artifact page; the game would just ignore the amount request for non-stackable artifacts, and the number of artifacts gained in a raid from a stack would be random.
