Title: Bank Access Express – Remain Open While Moving? (title was too long)

I don’t think this is too much to ask, but since the Tarrktun Personal Delivery Portal was changed to remain open while your character is in motion. I would think changing the Bank Access Express to do the same thing wouldn’t be that big of a deal. It would make it so when using single use items, and you get attacked by a mob that knocks you back and forces the window to close, using up one of your items. Makes it pretty frustrating. Changing this to remain open while your character is in motion would be more ideal. Since the window isn’t bound to an NPC.

I agree, this would be a really good change. Ideally I’d like to to stay open until you manually close it. That wouldn’t stop my tendency to close it down and then remember I need something else, so I have to try to decide if it’s worth using another bank access consumable to open it again, but it’d help with all the other things that cause it to close prematurely.

The bank window is big enough (and I don’t think it can be resized) that I don’t think we’d need to worry about people abusing the system by keeping it open indefinitely.

Same thing with permanent merchant and trading post. If the ecto gambler can do it, surely you can save people the pain of seeing an npc they cant interract with and instead open a window that doesnt close automatically?

Bing! You win the prize. People definitely would abuse it. They would open it and then drag it almost completely off the screen and leave it there whilst they farm their kittens off.

and why shouldnt they be able to get the most out of an item that they paid for? im behind the no-auto-close. its not like it would give people an edge in any game mode. you cant use it in pvp, and youre too busy fighting in wvw, and raids would be too hectic.

That’s not necessarily a minus. It will still close if you log out, waypoint or change maps so it won’t be a use once and get forever thing. However it would increase the usefullness of bank accesses. If it’s more useful they will be used more often and if it’s used more often then more will be needed to replace them so more accesses bought from ANet.

That “abuse” is a ridiculous fear. Wow, someone can reorganize their bank until they leave the map. That’s so OP. Let’s not add anything to the game then because someone might derive marginally more benefit.

A bank express should be that good. The other expresses last a few minutes and benefits other people. A bank express only benefits yourself. And when you use it, it’s gone. They don’t rain out of the sky so any form of abuse is going to be expensive.

I used to hate the temporary ones because I would accidentally move a bit and waste those things.

I believe you spawn an invisible NPC/object which you interact with. Same thing for the Mystic Forge Conduit. I have never used Tarrktun Personal Delivery Portal, so I don’t know what makes it different.

I would like to see this changed as well if possible. Having the bank stay open while moving would be nice and if this would be quick and easy to implement please do so.

Seeing as permanent contracts are the basis of why they charge so much IRL money for black lion chests, I don’t understand why they keep forgetting about them. Merchant and trading post shouldn’t spawn NPCs, and bank shouldn’t close when you move.

Just like the karmic merchant, or the HoT token merchant (forgot its name) or even the fractal reliquary, they do not spawn anything and their window will not close when you move.

The Tarrktun Merchant is better than the permanent merchant for that reason.

They have the technology to do it, not sure why they won’t…

No actually none of those spawn an invisible NPC, because you would get an error message stating already one active. At the very least they could make this option available for the permanent bank, that way it don’t matter if it people leave it open or not.
