I don't know if this has been suggested before (tried searching this forum but drew blanks) but I have a number of accounts for both Prophecies and Factions, each with a number of characters contained within. Each character holds a number of items, upgrades, cash etc.
Now, I don't know if other people suffer from the same issue but keeping an updated list (inventory) of everything you have in the game is, to be honest, a nightmare.

What would be extremely beneficial to me (and maybe others) is for AreaNet to release an API (Application Programming Interface) DLL module that allows us lowly programmers to be able to expose such details as:

* Character Name
* Profession(s)
* Level
* Experience
* Titles
* Attributes
* Items held in bags and belts
* Cash held in character

Also, the api could expose your storage details such as cash, items held and materials in storage.

This (for me) would be a life saver so I could know what is where and how much of it I am holding, since it would be easy enough to create a tool that collates this information.

Now I know this suggestion falls into the boundaries of 3rd party tools, which are prohibited but if this API would in effect be made read-only (i.e. could only provide details within Guild Wars and not be able to write to it) then this may be able to fall within legimate usage policies.

I think its been suggested that we see everything (the stuff you listed) on a char during the "choose a character" screen.

while i dont like the idea of another program JUST to see it, a built in option would be nice.
