Guild Wars 2

At the moment, if I put 2 identical items in the bank, in different slots, they will occupy 2 different slots.

Simple proposed change which seems to be in just about every other game. Auto stack identical items onto one square when in storage.

With a busy bank full of all sorts of stuff for crafting it really is a pain to see yourself run out of bank slots because you have duplicate spaces.

Seconded.

There are too many items that look too similar, but have a different name. I have to look at ALL my tonics and booster items (not to mention coins, among other things) to see if I have doubles, then forget what items I moused over, find the doubles again then stack them.

SO annoying. +1

yes has to be done… +1
in the mean time before you deposit , hit “compact” on your bag and stuff should stack (what is in your bag atleast)

don’t like things automatically stacking when you drag across, how about instead we can right click > deposit which automatically puts the item in the first appropriate stack
or a compact option like you get with the inventory

@Mojo, when putting things into a bank why would you want your small venom sacs to take up 2 slots rather than 1?

Anyway I think this thread needs to stay alive. Even in the reduced form Mojo suggests it’s a must in my opinion.

Mojo has a good point.

Why would you not just right click and deposit all collectibles? It goes in one slot and does not effect crafting. Whether you put it on your bank or the collectible area. You can still use it for crafting.

just from a usability perspective I don’t want to ever drag an item to a bank slot and not know where it went, so rather than be automatic it should be optional (most flexible approach seems to be contextual to me)

this is probably more for non-collectables like rare crafting materials, potions, tonics, and other items that stack but aren’t collectables
