Guild Wars 2

It’s very odd that a big part of the levelling content is explorer-focused, and a lot of the more distinctive features like jumping puzzles, yet we haven’t seen anything really juicy for explorers since the Bazaar six months ago. Even something as simple as a few quest items scattered around the world that combine into a flavourful artifact would be welcome, but it’s mostly been achiever-focused content and revamps of existing areas.

All I can imagine is that they are preparing a massive expansion. Else they’ll lose too many of their players in 2014 because of the lack of areas to discover.

The problem is that exploration doesnt have much replayability. You can’t find something twice.

Because having new areas to explore every two weeks is considered lack of new areas? Every time a zone is changed that is new stuff to explore. Just because there is not a new zone does not mean that there is a lack of new areas to discover.

Every two weeks I get to discover new areas, seems a lot better than waiting every 6 months for new discoveries.

But the current additions rarely take more than 30 minutes to find if even that. I finished up the Tower’s new add ons in less than 5 minutes.

Those who focus primarily on exploration need a new zone to fully explore. And your desires and the desires of the OP are not mutually exclusive. They can add in a few new areas during the Living Story without having to give up making a new zone all together.

And what will you do after you finish it in an hour?

I’ve yet to finish exploring a zone in an hour. It generally takes me several days to do so.

But once I finish, patiently wait for the next new zone to be added. We don’t demand that a new zone be added every 2 weeks. We just want a new zone to be added at a reasonable rate.

It’s obvious to me that you aren’t an explorer. An explorer wouldn’t rush through a new zone to get it to 100% by ANet definitions. An explorer would just run around the map and get to 100% by ANet definitions when he got there and would do so at a slower pace. Because they go: can I get to the top of that mountain? there’s no vista or skill point or poi or waypoint, but I want to see what’s up there. I want to see the land from way up high.

As an explorer you finished the Tower in 5 minutes? Did you run to the top, because if you did then you did not explore every mini zone, or every side area. All while fighting off the events that spawned periodically. Going by your definition above I do not think you took your time exploring the tower, I loved going in each mini zone and then slowly traveling my way to the top.
