Guild Wars 2

Well, I was running a dungeon with someone and then they mentioned this BRILLIANT idea to me…

Account bound bag slots. You buy a bag from the gemstore, probably not too many slots like 5-10 and whichever bag slot you equip it in, it will appear in that same bag slot on all of your characters and all of the items will appear in it across all of your characters.

Would be a great convenience for keeping your foods, merchants, copper fed salvage kits and stuff on all your characters without switching it around all the time.

I think it’s interesting to compare this to the Banker Golem item. The account bag is basically a permanent version of the Banker golem, restricted to a special, small bank tab.

It might sound like a strange comparison, but it serves the same function of letting you instantly access items stored between all of your characters.

I don’t really have a point about whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea; I just thought it was interesting how two seemingly different ideas could be functionally so similar.

I see what you mean but you can only have the banker golem on one character if it was permanent :p

This bag will be across all characters whereas you’d have to actively use the Golem. You wouldn’t be able to use items such as salvage kits or merchants directly from the bank tab.

I see what you mean though ^^

Ah, that’s a good point, the banker golem is only useful on one character. Drat. It all seemed like such a neat comparison to me. e__e

I don’t generally have much use for the account bag idea, but I’m sure it would be more useful for someone who uses a lot of gem store convenience items. I can afford to give each of my characters all the food, salvage kits, etc. they’re going to use, but I can’t afford to keep each of them stocked with revive orbs, armor repair cans, etc. “just in case” I want to use them.

Kinda like the Wallet for currencies, you want a bag spanning all your characters items too.
Not sure about it, i’m 50/50 on this, but nice idea if it worked.

Hmm, cause this can give a potentially big advantage but also have great usability I would say, yes, but no more then 4 slots.

How would you solve the issue with the bags allready in those bagslots??
Maybe make it a locked item (not removable after purchase) in a seperate extra slot. Also make it a hidden bag (last to fill, not available in merchant windows).

This would be heaven for my Salvage o Matic, I have to make sure all my characters are logged near a bank, swap and then log my alts to be able to use it =[

Not going to say I like or dislike the idea, but it would need to be in its own separate bag slot. I wouldn’t trade a 20-slot bag (across all of my characters) for a even a 10-slot account bound one.

You mustn’t have many “convenience” items then such as permanent black lion trader, copper fed salvage kit and the permanent harvest tools. People that live and breathe things like that would find it very useful though ^^

Just gets tiring having to bank something then get to the bank on an alt and get it, then swap it back again.
