    This just makes it easier for my inner-OCD to consolidate the massive hoard of AP spread across my characters into one giant bulk.

    Also I am really hoping there's no day one exploit that lets people repeatedly withdraw AP from a bank to up their AvA rank.

    Thank you!!!
    Finally, Update 15 features a host of quality-of-life improvements for everybody, including the ability to cancel a research project mid-way, Guild Invite History, and an update to the currency system that allows you to deposit Alliance Points and Writ Vouchers into your bank!

    This is good news! Though I wish it had happened 2 years ago when my alts all had like ~400k AP each from levelling in BWB... I have since spent all their AP on siege & forward camps & donated them to my PVP guild.

    I have 10 characters, they are all EP, I PvP with almost all of them. This update will help me a lot. Those saying that this will just make people less loyal are forgetting those that play in only one faction but still like to PvP on multiple characters.

    Exactly. Play pvp on at least 3 characters in AD & as I am quite bad at pvp (but enjoy it) I usually spend my AP on seige / repair so rarely amass even close to enough to purchase anything from the Golden vendor - but might now if can pool my resources! :)

    Any chance we'll be able to bank Undaunted Keys in the future?

    Like the AP and writ banking and new dungeons are always welcome.

    Will be watching for the balance changes and hopefully some more rational heavy attack scaling to make combat fluid again. This is not working for me and has totally wrecked my PVE enjoyment.
    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    Get rid of it? Has it existed before? I thought this was new.

    I'm pretty sure I did it years ago.

    This makes no sense. AP gets spent. Siege can be banked. Gold vendor gear can be banked. It is silly to have an artificial restriction on banking the currency. It has no bearing on allegiance.

    It was silly to get rid of AP banking.

    Joining the winning team will be much more viable now for zerglings of all kind. You don't need to play your toon for 200K to 500K AP now to be able to spent your AP. Just login to whoever is zerging down the map at the moment.

    Are people only playing for one month, desperate to spend all their AP at the end of the month before they quit the game?

    ZoS announces AP banking, more dungeons, and new Battlegrounds features

    *Realizes that Cyrodiil lag and broken queues still exist*

    New features are irrelevant if the game is still broken. Stop adding more bandages on top of the puss-filled wound.
    Fix the damn game first.

    Don't listen to this person.

    Well maybe in early beta, but you certainly haven't been able to bank AP any time between launch and now.

    I presume a lot of people are like me: some of my characters only went into PVP to level up the skill lines (i.e. to get Vigor) and have a few characters with AP they have found no use for. Being able to bank them and thus consolidate them is a good thing for us.

    My characters who spend a lot of time in PVP generally use their AP for siege weapons, forward camps and repair kits, so at the end of a campaign hardly have any left. I know, from looking at the number of times people jump on my siege weapon, that not everyone uses their AP for these items :/

    My highest rank PVP character is a Lieutenant and would not have much more than 1 mil AP, even though I think you have to earn something like 2.5 mil to reach that rank.

    As for the AP farming via zergs, that has always been a thing and I don't think this change will make that better or worse. I am more interested in leveling up my characters alliance rank than how much bankable AP I have and this does not change how that works.
