It was always silly that you couldn't 'show off' your miniatures that have no other purpose except to people you went exploring with.
And today's update that turned off the miniatures sound effects was QUITE welcome.

I'd rather just be able to pull up another characters inventory (maybe through a storage agent) and be able to swap things directly instead of having to use storage (which is tiny and full of stuff that should be easily mobile like keys) to move items between characters.

What's new here? Degenerate (FotM) team builds are par for the course, this is directly due to the limitation of skills you can carry at a time, making it practically impossible to have a balanced/flexible build. Even if you go with the old 'skill ring' metaphor, its a bit silly that I can swap weapon sets in a fraction of a second, but can't swap rings?

I never knew that Mesmers didn't have good PvE options.

Lets start with the same thing that people have been asking for since before day 1, some sort of Auction House, or at least have trader NPC's that trade anything and everything (without the massive 'profit' that they make today) available in the game.
