I’m going to go ahead and gives this a thumbs down.
any particular reason?
I’m not a fan of this idea. The whole idea of the game is that you play the game, not that you are automatically insta-levelled on any new toon after you max out one char. This game is about progression and the narrative, and the fact is that the game is the same gameplay at lvl 80 as it is at lvl 1 – there is no advantage to this at all, just makes people skip out the journey – which is the main thing.

So you like constantly doing the same content over and over to level? Which would mean you like GRINDING! Also if you killed 500 people in wvw, did every dungeon explore mode, and have 2000 acheievement points you havent played the game?
only if you have to talk to an NPC named Kriss Kross to make you jump .
Your suggestion is really saying one thing:
“I don’t enjoy this game enough to bother leveling another character, so let me skip all that and unlock everything after I max out one character.”
Plenty of us are perfectly happy leveling up additional characters.
Why are we happy? Because we enjoy the game, and do not mind the grind

I know plenty of people who have over 2000 achievement points. They’ve created alts and are still enjoying the game.
If you care about being “maxed out” more then playing then game, then GW2 is not the game for you.

The first part of your argument is this"The whole idea of the game is that you play the game". First let me start by saying this is a limited time event that many games do, Vindictus , and dragon nest are 2 examples. Second so you saying killing 500 people in WVW, doing every path of every dungeon (including story),getting crafting to max in every craft, getting to level 80, getting 100 percent world completion,etc,is not playing the game? Also not playing the game gives you more rewards then actually playing. Ill explain people who are farming for one reason or another in game make about 3-5g an hour. A person who has a job works for an hour at minumum wage makes about $7.25 (i think). If the person with the job gets gems and converts them to gold he makes about 6-7gold an hour if im not mistaken. By not playing the game the person with job has obtained better rewards then I person who has played which can be used for things like leveling a toon to 80, legendaries,volcanous,etc.
Next part of your argument “This game is about progression and the narrative,”. There are other forms of progression in the game besides leveling, examples are ascended gear,exotic gear,all dungeon gear,etc ,so you still get progression from my idea. By narrative im guessing you mean personal story/dungeons storys. After people have seen the narrative once they skip it an example would be every explore mode dungeon. So the customers themselves who keep the game up, dont like repeating the same narrative which eventually becomes the same at a certain level no matter what choice you picked.
Next on the list “the fact is that the game is the same gameplay at lvl 80 as it is at lvl 1 -”. The gameplay at lvl 80 is nothing like level 1. As a level 80 people will invite you to fractals. No one runs fractals with a level 1, I dont even need to explain. 2nd in World v World as a level 80 you have the ability to be on even ground with enemy players, and your more helpful to the server because of survivability, traits, utilities, and elite skills. At level 80 you have access to Orr which still nets more karma then lower lvl zones. A level 1 cannot kill anything in Orr.

Lol you only said they had 2000 achievement points but not the other things i have mentioned. Your friends with 2000 achievement points dont have to participate, if they love leveling alts.
I never said i cared more about being “maxed out” more then playing the game. If I as you say did this to “max out” ,but didnt want to play the game why would I bother “maxing out” logic!
