Guild Wars 2

Not sure how others feel and this may very well be because of my older mmo experiences. But something I miss is having to tread through a zone without fast travel. Admittedly this is good for many reasons though.

I was thinking about gw1 and the desert zones. Always liked them a lot. And I got to thinking about how you had buried treasure and secrets in Elona that had loot. I was thinking if a similar mechanic was brought into a zone but with minimal to no WPs. It could have reset times based on daily/weekly. Buried treasure, “Do not touch!” locations like in Elona, Grottos, caves etc. All laced with rewards and or scavenging items that pertain to other areas.

Mobs could be given certain scavenger hunt items in their drop tables also just so they don’t gate content but contribute to it also. Scavenger items found at locations and from mobs could include map items like in the Eye of the North, special keys like we used to use, or parts of items that when gathered can be crafted for special skins. Just a partially thought out idea.
