Guild Wars 2

Would it be feasible to outsource SAB design to the community as a contest?

I’m confident that the community has creative modders and designers, or even players of piecemeal sandbox games like Minecraft. It’s disappointing that SAB is almost certainly going to be left unfinished, and I’m sure plenty in the community would jump at the chance to take the design portion off your plate, afterwords the developers could implement the changes during crack between other projects.

I don’t think they are having problems in the idea department… I mean it is pretty obvious from the SAB map that they had bunch of ideas for later zones even as early as when W1 was just a one off experiment.

I think, the team for SAB had a vision and it sucks that they don’t get to realize it, but I doubt we can help them with that as unfortunate as it may be. I mean implementation is a huge part of the work.
