I see many people complain (since Beta) that Trophies and Pets are "useless" because they "take up inventory slots."
I propose a fix to this.
Can pets and trophies be made accessible account-wide? With just an extra icon for them in the inventory window?
This way, you could use your pets and trophies without having to access the bank and swap them out.
This would
- Reduce bank traffic.
- Reduce login/outs
- Increase pet and trophy usage due to convenience
- Increase pet and trophy keeping since there would be no inventory penalty
- Make the overall player base happy.
So, you'd keep people in game longer because they wouldn't waste as much time just to use a specific pet / trophy, and they'll be more likely to use them because they'll be easier/faster to access.
Reduce unnecessary server loads, and give your players a reason to play and stay on more -- which actually would hopefully increase the load on your servers (in the way you want).
I realize this is not an "easy" fix, but thinking in the long-term, this is full of benefits.
