Guild Wars 2

Earlier, before some patch (I guess), WvW bases/waypoints had the Bank NPC available next to the Trading Post NPC. This was very convenient for players who didn’t enjoy traveling back and forth from WvW to LA just to deposit drops/items they either forgot to, or have aquired from enemies. However, apparently the Bank has been removed from WvW and are now forcing players to travel back to LA just to deposit items in their storage to clear up space in their inventory. I don’t see the concept behind this, instead I see an inconvenience and a future frustration factor in WvW.

I can’t imagine anything useful from this step made by ANet. Unless they’re trying to remove a feature that was very helpful to the players, I don’t know what they were thinking; and if you’re saying that the removal of the Bank in WvW is a good thing, you’re lying to yourself.

PS: One last thing to picture if you don’t understand what I’m getting at: Imagine your house with a very nice room to watch tv in. You have all the luxury furniture and electronics at your disposal. Now take out ALL the couches and throw them in the street. I don’t understand either.

This is simply not true. Nothing has been done to the banks in WvW. The ones that were there are still there.
It might be worth noting that some spawn locations have banks while others don’t (it has always been like that)

Strange, the locations that I have been to before have had banks there, and now I go to the exact same spot in the exact same map and they are not there.

Haven’r really noticed the banks but at least the crafting stations are still there…you can access from there

The problem with WvW banks, at least on enemy borderlands, is that they are closer to a trading post NPC than any other bank NPC in the game. Meaning power traders would use them, taking up a spot in the WvW queue.

Though that could be stopped by just separating the NPCs until they are further apart than the Rata Sum bank and trading post.

Craft stations aren’t available in all the maps – you would have to go to your home area for that to be accessible.

Then ANet should make it so if a player wanders in the spawn location for more than 10 minutes at a time, they should get kicked from the map. I mean what are you gonna do in the spawn location anyway besides buy gear and blueprints, which shouldn’t take that long at all.
