I have a simple question for you guys regarding MMOs and GW2 specifically at this point:

Do you think that the Megaserver system and all these new panels and UI that make things super simple as well as other changes that were implemented a while ago like LFG and such break all immersion when playing an MMO? Also other things like instancing from map to map (loading screens) and waypoints, 90% of things being accountbound. I just wanted to see if I am the only one that feels like the world of Tyria feels more like a giant lobby most of the time than an actual world where I want immerse myself. The devs always talk about new compelling content and ways for us to immerse ourselves but if the simple things that just oversimplify and replace everything in the game with UI and tabs that we can access from anywhere, does that not truly break all immersion?

Correct me if I am wrong but MMOs are about immersion and more specifically PvE is about Immerison. WvW and sPvP are fine and I think we shouldn’t discuss them in this topic but specifically to the PvE/RP side of the game.

No, don’t think so.
