Wintersday repeat
A few months ago, they talked about repeat events and how they would use them as just that. The main content is already there so it gives them time to work on bigger projects.
According to the recent living story update, which I expect to be an exaggeration, the finale of the Scarlet arc is supposed to be big. What it basically comes down to is, would you rather have them spend a few months to improve Wintersday, improve the living story, or work on expansion-esque content. (they chose the last two)
Maybe I’m in the minority but based on how festival events worked in GW1 and what I’ve heard about other MMOs I expected it to be exactly the same as last year.
I was disappointed that they removed some things, like the ability to make the minis in the Mystic Forge, but the fact that they added anything was a nice surprise, I assumed it’d be all the same stuff we got last year.
As it is I assume they’re experimenting with a few different ideas after a year or two these events will settle down and become straight repeats of previous content.

Someone’s going to be angry when next year, we see the same old Dragon Bash, the same old Queen’s Gauntlet, and the same old Bazaar of the Four Winds.

And yet other people that didn’t get to experience them the first time around will be angry if they’re too different as well (see the complain threads on the halloween event).

A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

It seems like the best solution is to keep the old stuff in and add more new stuff as well each year. This is how it has been done in many MMOs over the years.
