Smugglers Dens should be an option, not an open world bank replacement.

I recently discovered on the test server that all the banks in the open world, that I bought strategically as a gatherer, in the zones important to me are gone, and smugglers dens are not a good replacement for them because they are in some random zones often far away from the zones I need a bank on.

We paid money for these banks, removing them from us is a horrible change, especially for gatherers, it makes our lives on BZ way harder. We spent millions on these banks and now SBI just removes them. Not nice.

This is basically a kill-all-gatherers-easily update, check for yourself:

Also, SBI seemed to forget why they made mammoth spawns random.

On a side note, if now everyone can get a home buff from smuggler dens, why can't allies get such a buff from entering allied hideouts?

On the positive note, it seems SBI started to do something with guild challenge, which currently is a dead content from which only the old BZ guilds profit and get nice stuff.
