I was thinking about the hillbillies in SAB, and with a bit of research, I found that Hillbillies are an American thing originating from the 18/1900’s. This seems well after the “Time period (Since it doesnt actually take place on Earth, Time equivalencies don’t really apply)” that GW2 takes place in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillbilly

I guess Im just curious…. Does Tyria have hillbillies? If not, then how did moto come up with the Idea? I don’t know, it just struck me as odd.

It’s just the image Asuras have of Humans.

Robots and airships are also after the time period when the term “hillbilly” was coined.

Monkeys, bunnies, snakes, turtles, alligators, frogs, bananas. Which of those exist in Tyria?
Snakes did, then we stomped them from existence, frogs & rabbits are still in game, bananas don’t move on their own, and spiders don’t dance. Monkeys/Apes should have been in Southsun. The Maguuma region could still include snakes, turtles, alligators, and more frogs too. The world hasn’t been completed yet so there’s still time for walking bananas too!

It’s a video game(SAB), there doesn’t have to be a precedence for inclusion of random things.

It could be assumed that it’s what some of the more racist Asura call Norn since they are always drunk Norn are also naturally in the Shiverpeak mountains (hills).

They exist everywhere if you go deep enough up in the hills.

All norn, everywhere.

Some Sylvari.

Some humans.

Hillbillies aren’t a “type” they’re just vagrants who live in the wilderness… like our player characters.

Monkeys/Apes

There are risen gorillas in Cursed Shore. And don’t forget the Champion Purple Gorillas of Death at the temple of Lyssa.

Yeah, it’s too bad that Zhaitan killed all the Gorillas in Tyria.
