We are such flecks as stars are made of. . .
This is a slight quality-of-life suggestion for two types of players: 1) who have the checkbox “autoplay” constantly clicked on. 2) who don’t realize that reading certain news stories can significantly help their game.
Somewhere on the character select screen (Most likely the upper-left hand corner, which is currently empty) I suggest placing the most recent news headlines, which would direct you to the guildwars2 website where those stories would then be read. Just…. do it tastefully, artistically. Not a sterile scrolling box, like there is on the “logged in but not launched” screen. In League of Legends they actually have headlines on both login and launched screens.
If done nicely enough, it might even be able to take some of the load off the in-game mail system when you have a new release, which you do every two weeks already.
