Mad King holds a torch burning event, the thing you burn is Scarlet tied to a pole, no need for hay or wood even! Just light the torch and watch her scream. The more she screams the more the Mad King laughs!

And then this would end the Scarlett Invasion events entirely. Think about that for just a moment. She’s an intricate part of GW2’s story now, like it or not. I don’t see her dying for a long, long while. She may pull a Harley Quinn to get captured only to escape like 1 day later in some crazy shenanigan thingy.

You guys realize that killing Scarlet means the developers will just come up with an equally unbelievable and boring villain to replace her, don’t you? The Living Story will go on, and it’s going to need an antagonist. So we might – and I hate to say this, because I think she’s a terribly developed character – be better off with the cardboard cutout we know than the cardboard cutout we don’t.

Nah I’ll roll those dice. I want them to try harder.

The current villain will become old news at some point and we can all fondly forget or remember her as we like. To me she’s just a thin personality with stack of numbers I have to deplete to get the thing, what ever that is supposed to be. What she represents is the personification of the Living Story most of which is a quick fleeting distraction that quickly turns into boring, repetitive, mundane tasks. The rewards we get for doing that are pretty much the same.

I agree with every word you said, especially “Nah I’ll roll those dice. I want them to try harder”, but I don’t think they’re going to try harder. Even if they cared about delivering a well-written and developed antagonist, which I’m not entirely sure they do, the short turnaround for Living Story releases makes fleshing out any character – villain or not – difficult to do.

Don’t kill her, just retcon her out of the entire game.

Okay, so here’s what we do:

It turns out that the Elder Dragons are the true “gods” of Tyria, whom were so disgracefully displaced by the human gods some time before they brought humans to Tyria in order to prepare the place, and they can only muster enough power to come and mess things up every few thousand years for revenge. The Pact discovers this and a way to harness a portion of their power after they are killed (think somewhat like how Kormir gained Abbadon’s power), so we trek back to Arah, find Zhaitan’s body, harvest his power, and delete Scarlet. This would give a better sense of finality to Zhaitan’s defeat, would give a good chance to explain and bring focus back to the Elder dragons a little more, allow us to get rid of Scarlet, and would provide a nice segue into going to defeat more of the Elder Dragons using our new found powers as part of the living story instead of cramming more characters and factions than there needs to be into the game.

Nah, instead of killing her, cure her!

Obviously some wacky asura accidentally (or maybe not!) sprayed her with some sort of experimental herbicide. I figure it was typical asura ‘unmitigated genius’ at work. The asura responsible was probably trying to come up with a way to get rid of weeds by scientifically altering non-weed plants so that they would aggressively attack weeds and other undesirable vegetation, and as usual something went disastrously wrong.

Scarlet’s inherent irreverence and predilection for questioning authority was no doubt well-balanced by her cheerful good nature and desire to bring joy and happiness to all, but the herbicide’s aggro-boosting qualities overrode those positive qualities and turned her into a maniacal (and madcap) uber-gardener who sees everyone and everything as weeds that must be torn up by the roots and mulched.

Surely there must be a cure out there somewhere!

The table is a fable.

I really like the holiday and seasonal events. Aside from that, the living story seems to be completely random, and the advent of Scarlet Briar (seriously, what the hell kind of name is that?) cemented that for me.

Scarlet and the Aetherblades don’t feel like they’re in line with the theme of Guild Wars at all; it’s just a childish pseudo-steampunk throwaway. One can only hope that the game’s writers will take the hint and squash this character and storyline before the game becomes a laughingstock.

Yeah why isn’t he in the LS now? I mean it’s not like he has anything better to do now that you did his Wild Hunt for him. He wasn’t a bad character, much better than what we have now. It was just how he was used in the game/plot that wasn’t very likeable at least that’s how i see it.

Vizier Khilbron comes back and absorbs Zhaitan’s power, becoming the new leader of the Risen and pushing the Pact out of Orr.

The Mursaat, led by Lazarus the Dire, return in force and descend upon Divinity’s Reach and kill the queen, then begin indoctrinating the citizens of Kryta to serve them, and killing/sacrificing those who resist.

Gaheron Baelfire returns and becomes and even bigger fire-lich, blowing up the Black Citade——

Ok, no, that one wouldn’t happen. But the other three probably would, and much worse, if what you say comes to pass. Besides, not even Trehearne deserves to have to put up with Scarlet. That’s just too evil.
