Dynamic: GW2 did everything it promised, bear with me. can we have bosses that can go into other maps as part of the dynamic? no. why? because low population servers or low player areas, or during the sleep time of that group can cause an enclosed and highly damaged world that would take hours to repair, just for going to sleep. are event dynamic now? yes. events depending on the type, can close off areas, create other events, bolster near by areas etc. for example tequatl, if you fail him, the shore is corrupted, effectively being closed off until you decide to do something about it. additionally extra risen flock to the surrounding areas. or failing to stop the bunnies from eating the watermelons can cause local vendors to loose supplies. not gathering certain ingredients can cause different effects. either a dead group or a poisoned unit of lionguard. you choosing to help or ignore has actively shaped your world. the bi weekly living story updates makes tyria real, alive.
Grinding: there is no need to grind, everyone just wants to look cool, stat wise max stats are easy to obtain, only cosmetics are difficult. we are so used to farming that when gw2 offers us a new world, we said great! wheres the next POI i need 100% map completion for legendary. what about closing your map. pretend you are in a new world. your map does not function; what is going on this world? am i alone here? are there other of my kind (humans, asura etc.) pretend you are a first born sylvari. what is that cluster of trees let me investigate. why are their centaurs here? oh look a cave! a run in it and i find a giant, when we first started gw2, before we cared about the grind and more about the fun, we were excited when we found a giant hiding in a cave. because we knew we would have never found it unless we explored. you might say “well all that is gone anet does not have it” oh, but they do, a few days ago i did investigate a cluster of trees only to find a jumping puzzle. and i only found this because for a moment i forgot about POI’s and map completion. close your map, look around you, what is in that cave? that tree? explore !!!!!!!HAVE FUN!!!!other than that anet is doing and plans to do all it promised
