Remove only tabs

I played in the perandus flashback race. As the race came to an end (yesterday) my charachter was moved to the perandus league.

In flashback race i had items in about 11 tabs out of 51. Today when i logged in on perandus league all my flashback tabs are remove only and i have about 40 empty normal/premium tabs.

Can i just ask..
Why does the game not use my empty tabs for remove only? Now it's gonna take hours to empty all those remove only tabs to get functional storage again.

I hope this does not happen again. It's not so funny to spend this time for emptying tabs for no reason. Thanks for a great flashback. Always love those.

Don't spend too much time moving your items. You're going to have to do it again in a week when all your perandus tabs get merged into standard as remove only.

Yes i know but i don't play much in standard anyway so it is less of concern for me.

if they do that players will start a shitstorm which will last until the end of the year.
