Guild Wars 2

If I can currently take on any challenge in the game, stop playing the game for an extended period of time right now, can I, when I come back to the game, get right to any newly released content* without having to participate in any other content first?

Of course, the only ones who know the answer probably won’t tell me, but this question something I want to get out there. Please discuss.

*Additional story steps, explorable versions of dungeons obviously require unlocking like they currently do.

That’s the big question right now. Chris Whiteside stated that they are only adding in the progression because they view large content upgrades – like Lost Shores- as an expansion pack and there should be some progression. However, they’ve also stated that they want to have large content upgrades every few weeks. Next month will be the 3rd in a row with a large content patch. Those two ideas really combine to make a gear treadmill that, ultimately, will make gated content.
