Title says it all.

Why isn't there a Bank/AH in the Mage Quarter in Stormwind?

- I set out to create, what very well could be, a conversation between me and Blizzard.

  • "Why should there be a bank/ah there?"
  • - Yea well, the Horde got 3 Banks/AHs spread throughout Orgrimmar for easier access, why shouldn't we (The Alliance) have such a luxury?

  • "Yea, but Orgrimmar is harder and more time consuming to run around in than Stormwind, when you don't got flying mount.."
  • - No, it is not. To be fair, Stormwind is harder to run around in when you don't have flying mount.

  • "Yea, but Mage Quarter and the Trade District is right next to each other, why would you need 2 banks/AHs so close to one another?"
  • - Well, they might be nearby, but there is still a canal between, and a bridge you have to cross, and walls you have to run around in order to get from Mage Quarter to Trade District.
    So if that is an argument, then there would be no need for a Bank/AH in The Valley of Strength and The Valley of Honor either.. But there is.

  • "Yea but, why don't you just go to the Bank/AH in Trade District or Dwarven District?"
  • - Because, I just moved to a more populated server than the one I was on before. And don't get me wrong, I love it here.
    But all the people makes my computer lag, so therefore I would rather want a Bank/AH in the zone where I got my Hearthstone set, which is Mage Quarter, just as the Hordes can choose to place their home in The Valley of Wisdom (where they also have a Bank/AH).

  • "So, because you want something, Blizzard should just grant you your wish?"
  • - No, not at all. I would justify this by saying that Mage Quarter is a nice place. I love it there.
    But I think that giving the zone a Bank/AH would spread the players out, so all of them aren't just in Trade District or Dwarven District, and therefore it would cause less lag in those zones.

  • "Okay, but you also said that it is because there are 3 AHs/Banks in Orgrimmar..."
  • - Well, actually they have an AH in The Valley of Spirits as well, so that would be 4 AHs.
    But that is just a small reason for why we (The Alliance) should have the pleasure of having more AHs/Banks to choose from.

  • "Yea, but you know that Orgrimmar is the Capital of the Hordes, and Ironforge is the Capital for the Alliance right?"
  • - Yea, I do. But the Portals to the "new" zones (cataclysm zones) is in Stormwind.
    Thus making the Alliance players occupy Stormwind instead of Ironforge. Not to mention that the PvP Vendors/JP Vendors/Mogging Vendors/Reforge Vendors etc is in Stormwind, therefore actually making it "The Capital".

  • "Okay, but you see, Pandaria is just around the corner.. Why should we focus on creating a new bank/ah in Mage Quarter at this very moment?"
  • - Because, even after MoP has been released, you will still be needing the Capital Citys. Therefore you might as well create the Bank and AH now - (And there hasn't been set a release date for MoP anyways, so who knows when it launches...)

  • "Yea but... Okay, you are right."
  • - Thank you Blizzard, I am looking forward to seeing my new Bank/AH in Mage Quarter very soon.

    I did not say that it is urgent, nor one of the issues that should be handled at this very moment.
    I made this post because this is something that I think would be a nice, and important thing to implement.
    And the people I've talked with about this, be it only a handful, think so to.

    So maybe not the most important thing to fix at this moment, but important what so ever, to me and a few friends of mine.

    Your post is just as unimportant as mine if you don't care if they implement it or not.
    But if you are against Blizzard creating a Bank and an Auction House in the Mage Quarter, please let me know why instead of the "lol who cares" comment you left here..

    I care..

    "Nice" try putting words in someone's mouth, Joe.

    I merely choose to set up a few points to question why I would like a Bank/AH in Mage Quarter. These points/questions could might as well be asked by Blizzard, not to mention the people on the forum.
    I just got there first, before people started to ask stupid questions or make stupid reasons.

    Never said that Blizzard actually said what I wrote above, but "nice" feedback Enya.

    Well, there sure would be more people there. But It wouldn't be "just as full", since there would be 3 places for the Alliance to spread out instead of 2.
    I am not talking about moving a Bank and an Auction house from one zone to another, but to make a third.

    Making a third Bank/AH wouldn't magically create more players in Stormwind ;)

    i dunno, guess your alliance dude is just too lazy...

    "Yea, but Orgrimmar is harder and more time consuming to run around in than Stormwind, when you don't got flying mount.."

    No, its not, and blizzard wouldnt fob you off like that, but it doesnt mean a bank shoule be like post boxes and have one every 20 yards.

    "Yea, but Mage Quarter and the Trade District is right next to each other, why would you need 2 banks/AHs so close to one another?"
    OMG we forgetted about the canals, oh wait, theres a bridge for non flying mount types to peddle their pudgey little legs over.

    "Yea but, why don't you just go to the Bank/AH in Trade District or Dwarven District?"
    I dont see why having your hearthstone 20 yards away would make that much difference as far as lag is concerned, but i'll have the technical people look into it, honest...

    "So, because you want something, Blizzard should just grant you your wish?"
    Hey, its what they live for, quick ask em for a pony too! ;o)

    "Yea, but you know that Orgrimmar is the Capital of the Hordes, and Ironforge is the Capital for the Alliance right?"
    Isnt that like saying everyone lives in thunderbluff, NO ONE ON EARTH would come out with that kind of cr*p, EVER!!!

    No but it would still be packed. I would rather they make portals in the other cities and add PVE/PVP vendors in the other cities.

    I wouldn't mind them doing that either,
    but a Bank/AH in addition wouldn't be as "much" to ask for - and wouldn't hurt anyone, Alliance or Horde.


    And regarding your post Dysnomia,
    - Won't even take my time out to reply to you nonconstructive post, where you quoted a minor part of my original post. Not to mention that 75% of your reply was about "Lol omg no one would ever ask such a stupid question.."

    Well, regarding stupid questions and statements, you just won a first place.


    Edit: In fact, rather than rip my post apart and put it together to a incoherent quote/answer, why don't you use your breath to tell why you think it is a bad/stupid idea?
    Why not make a constructive post/feedback instead?

    People have asked me this before, and the answer is I like to think i treat people as i find them, for example if someone comes along with a "OMGBlizzyouruinedmygame" kind of argument (and this was over skinning of all things) I must admit I am equally facetious back at them, but if someone seems honest and needs help I 'will actually try' for them.
    So with regards to that trying to put word's into the mouth of a company employee which are so, and i hate to use the word re-tar-ded (gaps to stop it being censored, but as its practically your name anyway I thought we'd go for it), as to be just about unbelievable for someone to come out with. Well I thought the answers should equal them, or at least maybe give someone else a chuckle too.

    How could I constructively tell you to just move your hearthstone to somewhere closer to the AH and bank if you have made a concious decision to not place it in the inn by the AH in the first place?
    Both of my alliance characters are h/s'd there (in the square) and boy do I know what a slog it is to trek over the bridge (to the mage quarter) to get some daily cooking and then back again to pick the fishing one up. But thats the choices we all have to make.

    - You seem to miss the point to why I don't have my HS in TD/DD. Too laggy.
    A third place for a Bank/AH would spread out the Alliance even more, thereby decreasing the amount of people in the 2 places of choice. Less people = less lag.

    And again, telling me to move my HS from one place to another is not constructive feedback, I will give you that. And it won't ever be no matter how you choose to put it.

    So I ask again. What would be wrong with giving the alliance a third choice?
    You seem to fail to answer 1 question. Who is retarded then?

    Q:But there are no portals in IF!
    A: You got the deeprun tram "The transit time between each end is 60 seconds and remains at each stop for 12 seconds. "

    -edit : so why add more stuff to sw, its already to packed right now , your idea would only make it worse than better

    because every single things is at this moment situated in stormwind/orgimmar
    its way to crowded now
    adding a extra bank would only make it look more packed since their is no? space for it right now
    yet what is the problem with ironforge? if the lagg is the issue , you can better be their
    or darnasssus and take the boat.
    also does it matter if the horde got 3/4 ah's? if their should come 1 more ah in sw it should be near the docks , not 50m away from the other
    -edit : if you really think adding an extra bank will solve the issue than i have nothing to say enimore, it wouldn't matter since sw is crowded that much that you will still lagg in it

    it doesn't matter , their are loads of players stacked in the zone, the 50m won't make the difrence
