Guild Wars 2

Please start using unique names for NPCs that have an in-game function. There’s no reason for players to have to wonder which NPCs offer food, which offer supply boxes, or which offer basic gear. Managing inventory can be tedious enough without the difficult of figuring out who’s-who.

I hope this is easy to do going forward, since these NPCs offer different goods and use different skins. For existing NPCs that share names, I’m willing to make a list of names, if ANet is willing to update them to something unique.

Example
The Labyrinthe Cliffs includes a dozen vendors with the name, “Merchant [Merchant]” or something extremely similar.

If you don’t want to give these NPCs any personality, at least name them after their function:

• Vendor [Leather Mats to Supply Boxes]
• Vendor [Cloth Mats to Supply Boxes]
• etc

Similarly, the bulk foods vendors could be named:

• Bulk Foods Vendor [Maguuma Jungle]
• Bulk Foods Vendor [Ascalon]
• etc
