I think the Living Story content is a great way to enhance our home instances. We could show off stuff we’ve experienced/achieved to our friends who haven’t.
Imagine once you have the meta-achievement for the living story, something changes in your home instance. The fact that LS is temporary content makes sure that not everyones home instance looks the same. This would turn our temporary achievements into something permanent.
let’s say they would have done this for Flame & Frost:
- you can find one of the people you’ve helped finding his stuff in there.
- a npc which sells you the F&F-weapon skins for 100 laurels/piece.
- Braham and Rox as Skill-challenge like encounter: you can spar with them, each time you beat them they get stronger & stronger. Beat them on difficulty: “elite” to turn them into vendors who sell you their weapon-skins for 100 laurels each. (difficulty elite: you have to be alone in the instance to participate).
- Once a week you can get a skillpoint by beating them again on elite difficulty.
- a small Asura portal to Wayfarer Foothills / Diessa Plateau
or for the secret of Southsun
- a npc which sells you the SoS-weapon skins for 100 laurels/piece
- Inspector Kiel as Skill-challenge… (see above for rewards)
- a small Asura-portal to Southsun Cove
- grow passiflora plants (farm 1 each 12 hours)
then they could add certain dialogue lines where LS-NPCs chat with each other sometimes. Imagine Braham hitting on Kiel ^^
This place should be something where you could see all you’ve achieved in LS, something to be proud of.

small suggestions to make the home instance more relevant
- introduce a portal-device which ports you to the home instance on first use, and
back to where you came from on second use.
- your group members will be teleported too, if they want
- implement a sparring area in there where friends can duel
