Guild Wars 2

Why is there not an option already to have the game automatically deposit collectibles in the appropriate collectible slot of the bank account instead of putting them in your bags? It would fill up bags only if the collectible-slot in the bank was already filled. (Minis should not be affected, of course.)

Currently, when my bags are full and I can’t pick up loot anymore, the first thing I do is open inventory, click on option-icon, click on deposit all collectibles, close inventory and click on loot again. It’s not a descision process, it’s just some mechanical clicks disrupting gameplay. Please add the aforementioned option to remove this procedure.

With such an option in game, gameplay would only be disrupted when the inventory is filled with non-collectibles. I then have to descide if I want to open bags, if I want to salvage, what I want to salvage or if I want to walk to a merchant to free up space. This is a desision-making process. Note the emphasis.

Computers should free us from repetetive tasks that require no descisions to be made. They should allow us to focus on actions that require us to make descisions. Such descisions can be complex or as simple as “when do I use the skill exactly?”. Note that auto-cast allows us to free ourselves from repeatedly hitting a key for a skill that we want to use all the time anyway (again, something without descision-making involved).

Sometimes decisions can be made better by the player. I often farm all collectibles yet only keep a select set. All others go directly to the TP.

An auto-deposit option may be OK for some, but actually I wouldn’t use it. Also while farming it’s always nice to keep an eye on the amount already collected, for example while going for 200 ore or something like that.

I also like the view of having a lot of stuff disappear. That gives a nice feeling of saving up stuff.

…which is why I suggested it as an option.

Ok lets assume they went with your idea for a moment . you would still have the inventory issue after a while anyway. Besides its not like 2 clicks is THAT hard and if it is you have issues .

I also think it’s very repititive and doesn’t really add to the gameplay but is more of an interruption, so I’d definitely vote for this as an option as I don’t see it would have any negative side effects.
