Someone has probably brought this up already, but I still back it up.
So is it only me or does the personal story feel like side quest? I mean when I played gw1 the important characters stayed important untill the end. This is not the case anymore in guild wars 2.
So this is my suggestion. Keep the personal story with a lot of choises as some kind of side story, but implement a MAIN story similar to missions i gw1 that feel epic and important all the way and don’t make it like lots of small stories(thats the personal story). gw1 had the fall of ascalon and stuff like that, something that I miss in gw2
