I would like to see ANet do some sort of periodic review of the mechanics that affect certain items, things like:

  • Time gates, whether by crafting or something else.
  • Binding, e.g. soul-, account-, or unbound.
  • Vendor price or lack thereof.
  • ‘Type Name to Delete’ protection
  • Description, especially for items that are only used for Collections.
  • Icons: these seem to get infrequent review, except for the well-used Mystic Salvage Kit, which still looks like a Crude Kit.

I’m sure there were various reasons why some collection-only items have a vendor value and some can’t be deleted without typing the name. I’m sure that there’s a reason why the collected sub-Exotic Pact backpacks are soulbound.

I’m equally sure that those reasons no longer apply. Accordingly, I’d like to see the status of such items reviewed from time to time. Perhaps a dev can champion the cause and ask for people’s suggestions and then ask us for help culling it into a manageable amount of things to review.
