Guild Wars 2

I’m pretty sure this doesn’t qualify as bug – more as suggestion.

Township of Claypool has this Bank NPC guy who’s standing on square near crafting stations: http://i.imgur.com/F7PvxYk.jpg (I do believe it was added not so long ago) but since Crafting stations grant access to Bank storage its presence nearby doubles the feature.

Sure, it’s easier for new player to get familiar with game features but I would like suggest moving that Bank NPC to proper building nearby: http://i.imgur.com/cUnjGSQ.jpg – either behind the counter or just simply inside building. I’m pretty sure that place was originally designated as Bank – mostly because of obvious signboard hanging over the entrance – but it seems that during very early development that idea was scrapped and Bank NPC was removed or maybe not even used at all since this video here from beta times doesn’t feature Banker inside building nor NPC nearby crafting stations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHzY3qsAdQk (around 1:09)

As in topic, a small change to this place would be really cool and set proper immersion of the in-game world – let’s move Bank NPC to the proper building

In fact, at first there wasn’t any banker NPC at that area, actually, in any of the crafting stations at starter areas. But in a patch a few months ago (not sure if early this year or later last year) they added them.

I also think it’s redundant since crafting stations already has that feature. It’s even weird at other maps, like Wayfarer Foothills where the NPC is pretty much over the crafting stations (literally one or two steps). I admit I was amazed to learn that you can access bank through crafting stations when I first found it. Having such NPC just delays such discovery or even prevents it, since players would get used to use and seek a banker NPC to that purpose.

Well, it doesn’t surprised me to see such NPC added, since NPE (yay NPE… >.>) the game seems to deal with new players like they are kindergarten child with so many hand-holdings…

Anyway, if that NPC is going to stay I’d also agree with the suggestion of putting it in that building. I also had noticed that building a while ago and even was wondering if it was supposed to be a bank or something with those signs and decorations (it reminded me of the old banking place at former Lion’s Arch), it even seems to have a vault there.
