Bankers really need to have a fixed spots

Gojak · October 2014

It's incredibly annoying when bankers wander around since it automatically closes your bank. It's particularly annoying in Sentinel. You may get 2 or 3 minutes of bank time before the banker decides to wander away.

This has never happened to me. NPC's always stay put when I'm interacting with them. If you go afk while the menu is open, then after a minute they resume their walking route. Something that has happened to me before is I would be interacting with an NPC, then another NPC would walk by and push me away, making me exit the menu. It would be really boring if everyone just stood in the same spot, so this movement is good, it's just I wish NPC's wouldn't be so rude, and walk around you when you are in your bank/selling items/doing emotes instead of walking into you.

I've seen a thread about this topic in the German forum, too. Some players noticed that it closes when the banker walks away too far from you, others have a different experience, such as myself.
F.e. when I'm at the banker on Stros M'Kai, he usually stays where he is, but the bank closes automatically after a relatively short time, over and over again. The same problem I have at the bankers in Skywatch, Betnikh and Shornhelm.
The thing they all have in common is that I've been in "their" Vet zones, I never had this problem in the normal level zones (EP), not sure if this is related to the issue somehow.

Btw, I've reported this issue months ago already, but everything that I've ever reported (which was quite a lot) has never been fixed so far..

Yeah, that NPC-pushing should be stopped, I think. Although it's nice that they walk around, it makes the game "alive", but they even stop my horse from sprinting sometimes (especially in Daggerfall it's a pain^^).

There's a reason I only use the banker in Cyrodiil.

I've had it happen several times on different characters in PvE. I don't think they are moving away from you so much as you're on a timer.

If it's a timer thing, then that's just stupid. What's the point of having a timer on bank management?

They've always been like this since beta. I've left quite a bit of feedback on it so I'm sure that ZOS knows it's annoying. For whatever reason it hasn't been changed so I assume this is intentional.
