1.10 has changed a lot of things, people are still finding things new about it, so the previous 3 years experience only count for a little. Same thing here.

As far as the items go, upon a rare occasion, the game may De-Sync from the server and roll back to a point after you xferred the items. This happens a lot more when the realm is unstable from DoS attacks or massive duping. I've had this happen occasionally as well, but then, nothing is perfect.
