It’s silly and quite frustrating to carry these items when they are obviously used as a currency. I don’t see why it would be an issue to make them wallet-storable. If we need them as an item for crafting recipes, allow us to buy them from Melani for a 1:1 ratio, in which we get the same item, only as an item.
It’s ANNOYING to carry them all the time. It clogs up your inventory if you need them in large quantities. I hope this change will be considered because this game does things right 99% of the time, but some things you really need to listen to the community for.
I agree with OP when the wallet was announced ArenaNet was proud of it and since then they have released two new currencies and instead of adding them to the wallet where they belong they again made trophies of them.
I don’t know where exactly but one of the developers has stated they were deciding on a solution.
I agree that they should be added to the wallet. But in case you weren’t aware, you can leave geodes and bandit crests in your bank and still be able to purchase items from those vendors.
I don’t agree on anything that’s a crafting material. Anything used as a material should stay out of the wallet (go into collections maybe, though, for some that aren’t like Foxfire). Having a system where you have to “buy” a similar item using the same item from the wallet would be silly and overly complicated.
However, for items like Bandit Crests and Geodes that serve ONLY as currencies, they should be in the wallet, 100%. The wallet was created for the express purpose of keeping players from having to cart around thousands of pure currencies, and Crests and Geodes fit that criteria exactly. They are literally no different from dungeon tokens or Badges of Honor, and as such should be treated in the same way (which is to say, put them in the wallet).
The solution was to let then be tradable from the bank. They shoulda just added them to the wallet… 1000s of bandit crests are taking up my bank space.
Stuff that can only be used at a vendor (bandit crests, etc) should be put in the wallet (or a supplementary wallet, if there’s a screen real-estate issue).
Some stuff that currently can be used for a few mystic ford recipes could equally become currency, by offering a "Gift of _ " at a relevant vendor:
Gift of Mystic Coins for 30 coins and Greater Gift of Mystic Coins for 50
15 Fractal Relic for the cost of one Pristine Fractal Relic (also eliminates the issue of accidentally double-clicking)
Some stuff would have to remain outside the wallet, e.g. Candy Corn.

Because having them in the wallet doesn’t take up space in your inventory making you have to buy more bag slots and bank slots.
They might get them in the wallet sometime in the future, but i don’t think there is a critical enough mass of annoyed players for it to be worth their while sad to say.

Yep. The Living Story seems to love clogging our inventory with random stuff.
Well, they still haven’t added the copper, silver, gold, and platinum doubloons as depoitable collectibles, so I don’t imagine geodes and what not being converted into a wallet currency any time soon.
Not that I don’t agree with the OP, I do. When something like giant eyes warrants a collection space (which seem to drop as frequently as precursors), there’s no excuse for a lot of other stuff not being treated the same way.
I still remember when mystic coins and dungeon tokens took up inventory slots… shudder
I think part of the reason they haven’t added any new wallet currencies is because it’ll break their nice and neat 4×4 UI grid that they made for the wallet currencies. LAME

The last time this topic came up and got a response, that actually was the reason.
