Dear Devs, Why Are The Following Items NOT in the Collections Tab?

Trophies (assuming these are the Trophies that go towards the Achievements):
Reason - They are useable items, and not account-wide. I think "not account wide" is the important factor here; since Achievements are not account wide, you would have to gain these items individually on each character to earn the achievement, so they wouldn't really work in the Collections UI since it is account-wide.
Solution - Add a "Trophies" section to the Inventory that functions like Quest Items; usable, but do not take up space. Anything like this that has no function should not take up space.

The irony is, the rare fish and trophies can already be passed between characters. So those achievements being non-account wide is a little less important. You could add them to the collections tab, and then let the player activate them to unlock that point towards the appropriate achievement on that character. Which is basically what they do now anyway. Only, without the Trophies being consumed in the process.

Yeah I realise that, what I was meaning is that, for 3 different characters, you have to get the same item 3 times (regardless of which character actually gets it) to unlock the achievement tick for each character. Putting them directly into the account-wide system would mean they would only need to be found once, and the two extra characters would get the tick for no extra work, which is not the point of achievements.
