Guild Wars 2

The Lions Arch event got me thinking that there should be events in cities. The events in Ebon Hawke are fun why not the other cities? I can see players stopping bank robberies / hunting down the bank’s gold, preventing kidnappings or finding victims, corralling lost orphans, organizing the city watch, rerouting magical matrixes, repairing city infrastructure after failed experiment s, stopping fights, growing building, etc.

I think the trick would be to make them more scavenger hunt/ puzzle oriented vs combat oriented. For example if the bank is closes because it got robbed players would have to search for clues to find the hideout and then work out how to open the door before taking on the big bad bandit. Maybe they can build some randomness into the event so people who’ve done it once wont automatically know where all of the pieces are.

I know some people will complain about city services not being available but honestly there are six (five?) cities so if a bank in closed in divinity you can always go to hoelbrak or rata sum or somewhere else.
