Guild Wars 2

So with the introduction of the Royal Terrace in DR this latest patch, I got to thinking about why it was something you had to pay for, and why it was just in DR?

This should already be something every city has – and should be there for free. Anet should encourage people to use their races cities – not ensure they all just hang around Lion’s Arch all day.

This was a big problem with GW1 as well. Every main city of the game was dead except for Lion’s Arch (in Tyria, anyway). They should want Charr to hang out in the Black Citadel – Asura to hang out in Rata sum, etc.

Like make the “mini LA” areas in each city only available to that specific race. That’d keep it “exclusive” while still being open to everybody of that race so that they have somewhere else to be other than Lion’s Arch.

Thoughts?

1) The Royal Terrace will only exist for the Queen’s Jubilee
2) The purpose of the Queens Terrace is to allow people participating in the Jubilee to have quick access to everything they need for all the loot they get during the games.
3) The Royal Terrace is an idiotic addition since it’s in the wrong zone. If it were actually in pit where it matters it would be alright, but it’s in DR, meaning you have to cross a zone line in order to get to it anyway and can’t Waypoint for free. It’s also in a zone that already has access to all those same things, minus the well and portals, in quick free waypoint distance. And the well and portals are only a single extra trip away.

Therefore it serves no legitimate purpose what so ever and is a waste of time and money. We don’t need more of them in the other cities that provide all of the exact same benefits as DR itself.

Where did you see that the Royal Terrace is limited? Because as far as I can see, the entrance tickets can still be purchased for a two week access and it has no “leaving soon” notice on the item in the gem store.

Even if that wasn’t the case, why not address anything else I said about how each city should have this already for their races and such? Yes, once Queen’s Jubilee ends, everyone will flock back to LA all the time because there’s no reason to be in DR once this event is over.

And that is my point.

I don’t know about your city, but there are people in all of the cities all the time on mine. But LA is the Trade city, as such it is the common meeting ground of all commerce and should be the focal point of such attentions.

Also, there is still two weeks worth of Jubilee, so it should be still be available.
