I apologize before hand if this may seem to some as a silly request or idea, but lately I've been thinking seriously about this. So my request is such: could there perhaps be a conversion recipe introduced to convert basic infusions purchased from a general laurel merchant, into WvW and/or Fractal Agony infusions. Even if it becomes a mystic forge recipe or a type of exchange purchase with either the Fractal or WvW laurel merchants. I see there is already a mystic forge recipe to change the stat's of an infusion, so would it really be that hard to introduce a recipe to change the type? I started playing GW2 over 2 years ago, at the time I bought basic infusions from the Laurel Merchant to better compliment my characters build. Only later on, literally 5 or 6 months later, did I realize that I could have just has well bought Fractal agony or WvW infusions instead. Which also turned out that these happen to give a higher bonus to the chosen attribute stat (and other bonuses dependent on game mode) as opposed to the ones bought from the laurel merchant for the same amount of Laurels. Hindsight this is on me, I should have researched infusions more thoroughly at the time, but it was a lot of information to take in as a new player when you start playing GW2, if anything the awesomely extensive Wiki is an indication of this. I'm purely thinking of new players that may later on, or have recently discovered, that all those basic infusions they bought are wasted laurels when they could have bought the WvW or Fractal infusions that also happen to work in PVE. I apologize again if this seems like a silly request, but it would really be a great way for a now experienced player to fix a past mistake when they were new to the game and didn't know any better. I'd put money on it that new players are making the very same mistake as we speak. Just an idea, use it don't use it.

I also whole heartedly agree! I was literally looking up this query of the ability to deposit personal banners into my guild, and realized I couldn't, though ascended food was ok to do so. We would all really appreciate it if you would allow this, I'm positive a lot of players/guilds would shower you in praise over this QOL change 🙂
