Apologies in advance if this has been posted previously, though I didn’t find any similar topics with the search feature.

Anyway, as the title says. Why doesn’t FoTM have a story mode? Did the devs just get lazy? Here are my random disjointed thoughts on the matter:

1. Story mode would be cool since FoTM is the coolest dungeon, in terms of setting and variety. At least its not some hole in the ground filled with mobs. I’d love to find out more about the dungeon’s backstory, without emo Destiny Edge members getting in the way.

2. I hope this lack of a story isn’t indicative of how Anet will implement future dungeons. Oh here’s your instance, token vendors are on the right, now grind away!!! Ok all dungeons are a grind anyway, but at least make the effort of putting a story behind it so it makes sense why our characters are there in the first place.

3. Finally, more story mode dungeons could also be away of advancing the personal story without having to wait for an expansion. I think it’d be cool to say have a new dungeon where you’re training new members of your order or fulfilling your mentor’s last will and testament etc etc.
