===Less variation in trophies, generalize them([[ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Less variation in collectable trophies|Discussion]])===
Trophies, the stuff NPCs drop, often share the same design but vary in name and sometimes color. A single species/group like the Tengus, for example, have several identical looking "Tengu Crests":

:[[Feathered Crest]]
:[[Feathered Avicara Scalp]]
:[[Feathered Caromi Scalp]]
:[[Feathered Scalp]]

All of them look alike and contain the same stuff - [[Feather|feathers]]. Numbers may vary, but that's about it.<br />
Yet they have different values, different names, and take a unique inventory slot.<br>
Of course, each of them comes from a different region, and represents a different subspecies/difficulty level.

However, why do they have to drop entire crests/scalps at all, at low levels? Why not let low-level Tengus drop only one or more "Tengu Scalp Fragment" ?<br>
The entire species is called "Tengu", no matter where they are from.<br/>
High-level creatures could simply drop more of them, or, in case of the highest NPCs, entire scalps.

; Why this is a good idea
*  Less inventory space required - less items in database
*  Not as many identical looking but different items
*  makes stockpiling possible
*  less complexity in NPC drops

;Why it may not work out
*  it will encourage low-level farming
*  it will seem as if there are no variation in drops regardless of creature level
*  makes stockpiling possible
*  less complexity in NPC drops

''(The last two notes are added to both pro/con, because they can be seen either way, but are important enough to be listed. Personally, I think both are positive.)''

I realize that a workaround would be to introduce special bags/chests that can take only trophies, but IMO it would be better to reduce the complexity, as it serves no real purpose.
