Guild Wars 2

Depositing all collectibles is great for crafting materials, as it frees up your inventory by placing everything you gathered to where you actually want it.

However, for a mini that is not gathered, but taken out of my bank in the first place, this does not make any sense. If I wanted it in my bank, I would have just left it there. The whole reason I took the mini out, is because I wanted it with me.

This actually appears to be a bug at first because it is not at all obvious why you had a mini one moment and not the next. It also makes it so my friends and I never use minis anymore because we don’t want to give up the deposit all collectables ability. Minis are awesome. We want to use them! But there is no point in buying them from the store if we have to sacrifice the deposit all collectables feature to be able to use them, so this is actually a deal-breaker that will prevent us from purchasing them.

Suggested solutions

• Do not deposit minis upon “deposit all collectables”. If we actually want to deposit them we can do so individually, but don’t group them in the same category as gathered crafting materials, they are not the same type of thing at all.
• Allow us to access all unlocked minis from our characters directly, without having to store them in inventory. Solves the problem by designing away the mechanic that made the problem possible in the first place.

There is a temporary fix for the problem you have mentioned, make or buy a invisible bag and put your minis in there. Your minis and any item in that bag won’t be sorted or deposited when you use inventory functions.

That is good to know. I will look into these invisible bags. When you say that this is a temporary fix, does that mean to imply there is a non-temporary fix planned?
