    For me that's not even the make or break function. It's enough that I could summon them in a dungeon or out in the middle of nowhere to get something. As you said I can access Guild Stores easily with EasyTravel addon. It's especially on dungeons or trials where the assistants shine.

    i dont want to get this banker and then be mad i can't get the different looking banker that does the exact same thing!

    That's the exact reason why I'm holding off at the moment.

    I love having the banker except for one thing. If I come across a treasure map for a completely different faction, I'll deposit it into the bank for later when one of my characters is in that zone. If I come across that same treasure map again, he won't hold it because you already have one.

    On the other hand, you can have as many crafting surveys or recipes as you like in there. I have 6 recipes for Muthsera's Remorse right now. There is one more thing you have to be careful of if you get the banker. If you put a piece of equipment in there, you can decon it by mistake. I've done that a few times.

    Banker is great, but I chose the merchant as my first purchase.

    Later on I bought the banker.

    You may very well be right. It seems odd though that Gina said these have not only updated visuals but completely new and special voice over too. Seems like a lot of effort if you don't release those then. Of course, maybe it's just a concept study. It may be those are just drawings and no work has been done on them yet.

    I have all three, fence, merchant and banker. I never use the fence, he sits in a corner at my house. I rarely use the merchant, mainly when I'm dungeon or dolmen grinding, otherwise she's stationed behind the bar at my house. The banker i use all the time to swap food, potions, gear and other supplies between my characters.

    5000 crowns for a banker with no guild trader, 5000 crowns for a merchant that doesn't repair. It's just not worth it.

    I've heard nothing about them since that thread, my guess was they realised they wouldn't sell with just a cosmetics upgrade (anyone who has one wouldn't bother buying a new one) and if they added any more functionality it would be a riot.

    I can see if I can find out more but don't hold your breath.

    If your only going to get one, get the Banker.

    There are Merchants all over the game, and ones on all the roads in the game. They are super easy to find. Besides, you can drop a 100 items off at the bank then pull them out later for sale to a merchant, where you can't sell a 100 items to a merchant and pull them all out later to bank.

    Agree with this.

    Also, i cannot stress how much the banker just changes your play day-to-day. its not quite "hey, what if we had a computer, camera, video game console and access to all the online content in a phone in our pocket 24-7 instead of a corded phone in the kitchen and a set of 18yo encyclopedias" but it is close.

    My opinion? I think they'll be exclusive to crown crates.

    As always, I chime in with the fact that the "merchant", by definition, is not a merchant but an end user. She sells nothing. She offers no services other than being an on demand purchaser of your trash items. You are the merchant in the transaction, she is the consumer.

    The banker is much more valuable for reasons already mentioned.

    If they thought that, they'd be wrong. A lot of players care about looks, the look of their pets, their characters, their banker/merchant. My problem is that the dark elf doesn't belong with my Daggerfall characters or my Dominion characters. Now if I had a EP character, maybe. The Imperial would fit the bill anywhere.

    I bought the banker during this sale, its actually pretty convenient. I have many alts and I do crafting writs almost every day so not having to run to the bank saves a lot of time. I also put him in my house, near crafting stations and dummy. :)
    Actually I think I shouldve bought it earlier, its a great quality of life improvement.

    I bought banker when it got released and it's my best investment by far, period. Highly recommend banker :)
    I don't have merchant, I guess if you run with full inventory all the time its good, but banker should give you most value in my opinion.
    It's also good to have in your house when testing stuff on the skeleton.

    I finally gave in and got the banker today. I do writs on 13 characters...so yeah, had to get it. I just wish it had guild bank and guild store access, as I still have to run to the bank for those. Another problem is I have 420 bank slots and just about all of them are filled with bound items, not so much of a problem with the bank, but my hoarding is becoming a problem.
