Guild Wars 2

We need more items like Mawdrey II, Princess, etc.. They are just great, so i thought there should be more ways to kinda ’’exploit’’ this mechanic.. I would love to see item that consumes for example Airship oil (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bottle_of_Airship_Oil) or Leyline sparks (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ley_Line_Spark). Or even both at same like some of these garbage eaters do

The issue for me is that a lot of players (including myself) doesn’t use these materials anyway, since the only thing you can make with them is fulgurite, which is used either in crystalline ore refinement or ascended crafting. If you do daily meta-events while looting all the chests, then this stuff piles up super quickly. Don’t get me wrong, it certainly has its uses, but it would be great if we had something to get rid of those excess materials without destroying them, when they are not needed.

We need these garbage eaters for useless runes and sigils (one of each).

Anet can just add some nominal vendor value to them so that they can be sold. The same for collection trophies which have no use after you’ve obtained them.

We need garbage eaters for these eaters.

VENDORS EXIST FOR A REASON. We should be able to turn in stacks of this stuff in exchange for rewards.

Also, what Ayri said. We wouldn’t need 5000 eaters if we could sell the overflow of account-bound materials.

Agree with them being vendor ed or exchanged for map currency from their respective zones. Oil for airship parts for example.

We need one garbage eater with tabs like the ley line matter converter. That way we can still earn them via collections and save on invent space at the same time.

No, I don’t agree that we should be able to turn in anything for more rewards. The game is already generous — we just hate to delete stuff and we hate the idea that there’s any loot we can’t use somehow.

If the mats dropped less often, we’d be complaining that it was too grindy to acquire.

I’m looking forward to minor/major rune eaters.

I’d prefer less garbage, tbh.

Or the ability to combine any four of ‘em in the mystic forge to create one that eats everything I can’t be bothered to get rid of manually.

Well, that’s unfortunate, because we already have ways to convert stacks of Ascended material trash into loot. It comes at the cost of our bank/inventory/shared space, and if that design philosophy continues, it will go beyond tolerable. It’s already tipping at that point already.

Honestly, I don’t have a specific demand for it beyond give every item alternative uses that will actually drain those resources. Craftable consumables, random loot boxes, whatever.

Or let us convert them into map currencies. Boom, done. At least having an overflow of currency doesn’t clog our inventory or force us to delete stuff that ANet has otherwise mismanaged.

Instead of an eater, how about a specialized merchant that gives you the vendor price of the runes and junk items. It would be a QoL item that allows you to clean up your inventory without needing to make a special trip to the nearest vendor/merchant.
