Guild Wars 2

I think we all have banks filled with bank access express, black lion merchants, etc.

Worst thing is, whenever I run into a situation where I actually want to use them, I forgot to put one on X character or its in the bank, etc.

Here’s a suggestion to cut down on this.

The Bonus Menu:

Add a new, small icon to the menu at the top of the screen, to the left or right of “Hints”. “Bonus Menu” or something.

This menu contains, in an orderly fashion, every Black Lion item we currently have. XP Boosters, Magic Find Boosters, Bank Access Express, Trading post merchants, etc. They will no longer take up bank space, and can be instantly and easily accessed whenever you realize you need them, on any character.

Ideally, it would follow a UI like the collectibles tab, so you know at a glance if you have a certain item or not, since it has its own consistent location.

It would make these items actually feel like bonuses rather than clutter. It would encourage players to use them when they need it most— those armor, regen and power boosters that you forget to have in your bags, could be used when a dungeon or fractal run is going particularly roughly.

And then, the bonus for Anet: if these items feel like rewards rather than clutter, maybe more people will purchase them with cash money.

Thanks for reading.

Very good suggestion.

I am totally guilty of always having the wrong bonus item on any of my characters, and/or forgetting to actually use them.

I would love to see this implemented.

This please. I don’t even care about bank space, but I’d love to be able to use these things while they are somewhere else than my bag.

Fantastic suggestion. I’d certainly use more of my BL stuff if it was always accessible like this! In addition like you say, there’d be more incentive for people to buy them due to their greater ease of use.

Personally I’d go a step further and have all the possible items listed in that menu, even if you don’t have them, so that if you click on one you don’t have, the BL gem store pops up with the missing item highlighted so you can easily purchase it.

I think this is a great idea. I wouldn’t even mind if they still took up bank spots as long as I had them accessible like this so I could actually use them up when needed. As it is now I never carry most of them . I probably have 10+ of all the bank access, TP express and stuff like that. I have at least 5 or more of most of the boosters.

Also I think Feelm’s idea would be good too and would help promote people buying them in the gem store.
