I think it is almost pointless to go back to lower level zones unless you are needing low level crafting mats, trying to get 100% map, or going into a dungeon. The low level dungeons are rewarding to level 80s, by rewarding them with armor sets. In order to make people go to the low level zones once they are completed, there should be a sort of system that rewards players with level 80 items (Rare crafting mats, weapons, armor) so there is incentive to go back and not just farm Orr. I will use Queensdale for this.
Queensdale is the first human zone for levels 1-17. I completed that map and have never gone back to actually participate in its content since. Players need a reason to go to the events there, and do the rest of the things the zone has to offer. If I go to Queensdale, It would be nice to be rewarded with a certain kind of token for doing the events. It would be like the dungeon tokens, where you can buy zone specific armor and weapons, as well as upgrades and crafting mats.
It would be nice to have a choice of 2 or 3 different armor sets that you can buy with the tokens you get from low level zones Once again, this would encourage people to play alongside the low level players. Maybe we should limit the tokens to just lvl 80s so low level players dont sit back and farm events. because this will give them lots of xp and allow them to skip content and buy entire sets at a time when they reach max lvl.
What do you think about this? what would work and what would not.

At first it looked like a wall of text (which I still enjoy reading because reading is good for you), however, your ideas are sound and valid.
There really is NO reason to go to any of the zones in this game once you have fully completed them. There is zero sense of accomplishment or need to go back (home towns included). they looked amazing, had great ideas, then died.
I am sure this is something to be fixed in the future but it definitely should be given a response by arena net. What can be done to get us to go BACK to these zones besides a generic bonus.
There, i put a spce between the paragraphs so it looks less hard to read
Fully agree, I enjoyed playing through the low level zones but once you’re done that’s it for the zone. Especially given the down-levelling system being in place, it is a pity that only Orr holds interest for the L80s.
