Guild Wars 2

I can view my crafting interface when I’m not at a crafting station, why aren’t there tabs to view my bank and collections as well? I’m not asking to be able to put things in or take them out, I just want to know what’s in there.

I’ve played many MMOs where this was not an issue. I’ve seen WoW mods to do this exact thing, and always laughed and wondered why I would ever need to look in my bank while I’m out questing. However, in Guild Wars 2, I’ve found myself in a position several times so far where I was talking to a Karma vendor at one of the heart events, they sold some kind of cooking ingredient, and I wanted to know how many I have so that I can know how many to stock up on.

Right now, my only way of doing that is to open my cooking menu, find a recipe that uses that item, and use the ingredients list to find out what I want to know. If I haven’t discovered any recipes using that item yet… too bad. All I can do is travel back to a major hub and look in my bank again.
