Hi guys, just wanted to share with you guys an idea I have to address problems with zones that have little to no people in them anymore. (Mostly zones in the mid-level range)
Why not implement rare zone-specific collectibles that are account bound? (no buying on the TP!) These items should be rare drops and not something you can get quickly as a guaranteed drop for completing a quest so that people can hang around the zone longer.
Anet could add another tab in the collections section of the bank, and these would be full of zone-specific collectibles such as new skins, mini-pets and more.
I think it would be a great idea for players to revisit old zones for these collectibles.
What do you guys think?
