Guild Wars 2

Can Anet please, please remove the annoying non spesific NPC’s around Trading Post NPC’s, Bank NPC’s and probably other daily useable npc’s. Specially in Lions Arch, ever 1/2 times i run over to either bank or trading post i end up talking to the random npc who does nothing but standing there.

thumb this up or write something if you agree. this needs attention and i specially don’t see the need for a useless NPC who does nothing other then interrupting you pressing “F” 5 times to try talking to the npc’s you need.

this!!!

I can see putting NPCs in a city at a random location to make it look like that area is crowded. I think everyone knows the bank and the TP will have plenty of players at them though so they are pretty useless there. What is more, because of the NPCs people have to bunch up where their F key will talk to the relevant person rather than greet a crowd-filling NPC.

For that matter, why is greet a higher priority than talk in the first place? I can think of plenty of times I needed to talk to an NPC in this game but not one where I needed to greet one of them.

I agree. Troll NPCs standing there, not even doing anything…
Give them something else to do. They are obviously bored. Hehe.

Change them to beggars. When you F them you lose 1 Silver to them.

Sounds good to me. Personally, I just run to the side of the TP/Bank NPCs and have no problem.

I learned my lesson after talking to the walking NPCs once or twice. It’s not as big of a deal as people make it…

re: Change them to beggars. When you F them you lose 1 Silver to them. – No, that would be the exact opposite of manking them less annoying and intrusive.

+1 on giving “talk” a higher priority than “greet”

And greet should definitely be turned off for NPC’s while events are taking place.

re: It’s not as big of a deal as people make it… – It’s an annoyance that serves no purpose, and clutters up the UI. It needs to be reworked. Why do you want annoying things that have to be worked around in-game?

Haha.

“Wait, did that NPC just take 1 silver from me when I clicked them?”
~ clicks again ~
“Hey wait, gimme my money back you nutball!”
“More violets, I say…less violence…”
“Whaaaa?!?!?!”

While I’ve personally never had this problem (trained by mesmer troll portals), I can understand OPs frustration.
