Guild Wars 2

Buddy of mine and I have been talking about the novelty of lore in Guild Wars’ history and the lack of non-speculative information about the rise of power for the 6 deities that brought humans to Tyria. Even in GW1 their involvement aside from ‘Favor of the Gods’ has been anything but existent. Really the only spec you see is the Dervish’s avatars. Even then the only other time you hear about them is when an NPC is about to die or helplessly lost their kitten. Otherwise it’s almost as if the novelty of having the deities was already over before the time of GW2.

Following up with general curiosity and a neat idea would be do the samething ANet has actually done before. Follow the footsteps, even play, the rise of power of Melandru, Balth, Dwayna, Lyssa, Grenth, and Aba in becoming the deities they are now. Those who played GW1 remember Spoiler...ol' Kormir becoming oneso it seems that the gods may actually have a story behind them other than they are and always have been. They did this with the few buy-able contents for some of the past heroes in GW1 and they’ve revisited the idea in GW2 with Spoiler...Caith and finding her memories.. Something to think about in far future since there already is HoT on its merry way. So the idea wouldn’t be too far-fetched and they seem to like doing it. Even as filler.

Not suggesting it replace any other popular content nor am I begging ANet to do it, but curious what the forums think and maybe add/take a little from the idea. Just for the sake of conversation if anything.
