Give us Bank/TradingPost/ etc.. in The Mists
bank and tp etc can be found in wvw. if you can’t get to your home bl, then jump into any other bl, speak to the guild bank person to open the guild bank (assuming you are in a guild with a bank), and then pick ‘account vault’ from the dropdown on the top right.
anet will probably never put bank/tp/etc access in hotm because of their gem shop items (granted i don’t know of anyone who buys those things but eh)

Agreed! i hate that i have to get back to vigil keep just to deposite some stuff like tomes or skill points that i want to use on other chars, the same goes for the mystic forge since i am always getting back to the keep to craft mystic salvage kits!
Since now we have no bondaries between pvp and pve items, it only makes sense that they add a bank and put the mystic forge and even a trading post in heart of the mists!
i dont know why not anyone think of that but there’s still time to add them
HotM, the new LA, so sad…
The reason that this doesn’t exist in PvP is because it’d completely invalidate certain system in PvE. Completely full inventory? Just take your free port to HotM, deposit your crap, take your free port directly back to where you were in PvE, and continue on your merry way.
Btw, they’ve said basically what I said above before as a reason. I’m not sure if they have changed their mind or rethought their position since then.

Just charge a waypoint cost to the mists. It’s not rocket science. PvPers would not be affected because they don’t leave the Mists. You also wouldn’t get this huge influx of PvE players because there would be a waypoint cost associated with traveling there. PvPers shouldnt be expected to have to map a few times to do their banking/BLTC/Guild stuff.
It’s either that or attach the stinkin Mists map to the regular map so we can map to exactly where we want to go.

Can’t you do this already with WvW?..

Can’t you just port to WvW?
Support for all of it.
You can port to WvW, then take the portal to LA (or now Vigil Keep or w/e), yes. However once you do this, you still have to WP back to near wherever you were, then walk the rest of the distance. sPvP however allows you to return to exactly where you were without cost and is much faster (two loading screens total, instead of 3+ walking distance), so it would still be much, much more convenient.
I’d still like them to change it in some way, but that is their given reason and it is still somewhat valid.

There is no need for walking and porting, you can simply relog.

There’s no need for relogging, you can simply open the World vs. World menu again and click the “Leave the Mists” door icon at the bottom-right.
If they put a bank in sPvP, you port into sPvP, deposit your crap, leave the mists, and then you are exactly where you were. This is not the case right now, you either use WvW or sPvP as an intermediate step to get you to Vigil Keep (or one of the 5 home cities through Vigil Keep), and then you can port to whatever is closest to where you started off.
For example, you’re farming CoF like crazy. You have a full inventory. As it is now, you could port to Vigil Keep (or anywhere with a bank, doesn’t matter), OR you go into either WvW or sPvP, use the free portal to Vigil Keep, then take the WP back to where you were. Unless there is a bug I’m unaware of (very possible), this is the only way to reach a bank, and it involves paying at least one WP fee (two if you don’t use WvW or sPvP), and then walking a certain distance from whichever WP you chose to where you want to be.
If a bank was in HotM however, you’d port to the mists, deposit your crap, and simply leave, being by far the fastest and cheapest method.

And again, PvErs scared that their godmode gets touched by PvP. Sometimes I just would love to say a few things to people like you.. Only thinking about their gamemode, the rest doesn’t matter, aslong it doesnt affect your thing.

What lead you to think I only play PvE? That I made an argument you disagree with?
The reality is that sPvP hasn’t gotten a bank yet because it’d invalidate things they’ve already put in the game, ones that are gem-store related. ANet simply hasn’t, yet, wanted to turn the mists into a one-stop shop for PvErs. If they change their mind I really couldn’t care less, it makes things incredibly convenient for me.

If that is what they are worried about they could make it that when you leave the mist you end up back at Vigil. I may be wrong but I don’t see why anyone would have huge issues with that. I suppose if someone is PvEing and gets the urge to drop everything to PvP right then they would now have to pay a WP and run back to they were after but that is a very minor issue. Although the Mists might end up a hub for PvE’ers anyway but I don’t know how many would really bother with that. I don’t think many players actually take to much notice of WP costs and would bother waiting thru an additional loading screen to avoid them.

Having these features in spvp would simply save a loading screen for characters in spvp and would make no difference from a pve players standpoint. WvWvW already contains all of these features in the borderlands and you can get back to where you started. You don’t need to go to vigil keep. There is a trading post, a merchant, and bank access through the borderlands (via guild bank or crafting stations in your home borderland). You can then return to where you were in pve through the WvWvW screen.
Put bank/trade post only for r80, that solves everything.

Yep. Or like others have mentioned add a WP cost associated with going to the mists. I’m sure there are ways to fix it, both with and without making it more convenient than it is now.
