I’ve seen this suggestion for years, please anet is it not time to move some of these keys out of our inventory and into currency?

They have remarked about the situation with keys a couple of times. Roughly, they’ve said:

  • Yes, they would also like to see a better solution for keys.
  • They have ideas but not “current plans” to address it, because it turns out to be much more complicated than it seems to us.

What they have done recently is offer chests that don’t require keys in the traditional sense. In Bitterfrost, you use a torch to melt ice leaving a chest that anyone can open for a minute or so. In Siren’s, you don’t need any keys. In Draconis, you need a mastery one-time vendor unlock to open; the “key equivalent” is only needed to un-hide the locations.

My guess is that we’ll see a solution, but not for at least a year or more.

edit: thanks to Inculpatus Cedo, who pointed out (in another thread) we don’t need a mastery to open Zinn’s Stashes
