Suggestion: Use Door/Device Automatically if Key is in Possession (Dungeons)

[AngelCheese77]

Hm ... do you hear something? ... just a breeze.

The point is in a modern MMO, or any game in general, this mechanic shouldn't even exist.

"Do you want to use this key item (that has no other purpose) on this mandatory interactable that you need to progress?"

Exactly! I don't recall this being in the later expansions in dungeons, just an old relic from ARR. And if they felt the multiple paths weren't needed, why not update the doors and devices?

There are plenty of cases after ARR where you need "permission" to enter something and you talk to a door-like object (normally the Gate Protector person).

They could remove the doors, I guess. But sometimes you get funny situations where like in Haukke Manor, somebody doesn't pick up the final key, assuming the others have done. Leading to a mildly amusing situation of running around that final section again. Less amusing when our same group failed to pick up the bloodstained cloth to break the seal, though. That was a long-run back.
