to be honest, im having a hard time coming up with a reason NOT to increase their HP.
Like honestly, name one valid point besides "so the staff can sit back and act like elitest snobs about the situation".
Yes, you're an idiot if you attack the banker.
Yes, ive never, in my life, accidently attacked a mob on SoD.
But guess what? the banker dies almost daily, so apparently there's a probblem.

Really? You are a patient man! I am a Shaman Ogre and sometimes don't shrink me just because I am lazy to mem the spell (though is true is when I have only to do some fast transaction). If I mem the spell I begin also to shrink everyone
.IMO when people are offering suggestions, they should try to think of the roleplay aspect of the game. If someone doesn't like Athica why shouldn't they be allowed to show their hatred? It seems kind of silly to plow through guards only to be slain by an invulnerable level 70 banker. Also, why should they be balked from killing a level 1 adept banker? If someone hates Athica and kills the banker, maybe they're doing their job roleplay-wise - inconveniencing the inhabitants. Go to another city.

It does make sense that you don't enter the vault area of a bank though, so I don't see that much of an issue here; however, I do think that the banker aggro should be removed and only have the guards attack. Maybe add something for a rogue to steal so there's a reason for the aggro as well.Haphesto said:
In any case, the current problem seems to be that Athica is overpopulated and maybe people need to reconsider a home town with more bankers or larger windows if it's truly that much of an issue.

BINGO! That's just it....Athica is far too overpopulated...these same complaints came about when S. Newport was the hang out spot. You will always have a main gathering/meeting place in these types of games. A place where people feel they are around the majority of the others that are not out xping and an easyily accessible place to gather for groups and raids...one where all can go and get to fairly quickly. When that said meeting place is a small town with a closet for a bank...problems occur. Not just the banker death, but we also have the constant battles and whines over AoE ports. What is needed is a huge, wide open meeting area with a couple of banks in open accessible spots...and a couple of supply vendors...like Nexus/Bazaar used to be.
I have begged and pleaded with my guild to change their gathering spot, myself, because the crowds just get to be too much lag, annoyance, missing banker, running from AoE port,etc. However, no one can seem to come up with a place that:
1. Place where some folks are not KOS
2. All have a way to gate/neck there
3. No one has to use the Portals (Some folks just seem to have bad luck with them)
What I'm gonna have to end up doing is getting my alchemy up enough to make a crap ton of Gate Potions so that I can /listsend every non-caster in the guild a bunch so they can meet casters in a non-neck city through gate/bind.

Awww sorry Cinn... dont take it personally. I just come across as a huge biotch in black and white. I'm really harmless. =P
To address the OP's idea, I don't think giving the banker's HP's would be a terrible Idea. It's just slightly frustrating that it even has to be discussed because of a select few not so bright and possibly bored few.

I dunno whats worse, the people dumb enough to kill bankers on accidently over and over, or the people shitty enough to try and prove a point by blocking the bank window in Athica.
Either way, since its basically proven that people are going to be dumb or jerky, a change should happen.

Why should we have to find another place to bank?
As far as I've seen, one person has killed the banker since this change, and he did it on purpose trying to find a way to kill the banker without taking a faction hit. I've had a couple problems banking using the window instead of going behind the counter, and it was from someone proving his point that it's inconvenient to only be able to use the window by inconveniencing others and blocking the window.
