If you need a path, follow the hearts on the map, they are level based and let you progress through an area in a logical format. You can do that in conjunction with your storyline quest and it keeps you on track level wise to keep up with the difficulty of the quest.
Dynamic events are meant to be a distraction and you don’t “have” to do them but they pay off in the long run via honor and or explorable areas becoming open or changing for exploration achievements.
I think of dynamic events more as something to do when max level as you wander around or a nice change of pace from linear storyline. I do wish the dynamic events were not so predictable though, they rotate so consistently, it would be nice to see a dynamic event have a few random options so it isn’t always centuars attacking the same village or thieves always poisoning the water hole.
They did do a good job at having dynamic events chain though so after you finish one event it may chain into another event, such as you help the seraph take over a outpost, then they ramp up an assault on the centaur encampments to fight over territory.
Again, more random events in the same locations so you don’t know what is coming next instead of the same thing every 10-20 minutes
