Well you can simply go back just for the “fun” of it and/or to help people out. Besides that there are what, 25 maps so far so even if there were just 10 different events per map that’s 250 different events! I’m sure you havn’t seen them all yet, I know I probably havn’t lol.
I agree about Divinty Reach and you know what? I really wished they had made that city the centre of everything. I know, I know it didn’t exist in gw1 and Lion’s Arch did so it deserved that special place in the game. But still, it’s just no where near as good as DR!
Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?
I know a lot of us would love to see DR or the other capitals get decked out for Halloween or Wintersday (and who knows, they still might).
But the reality is, that’s a large undertaking for the art team, and any time devoted to holiday assets and decorating entire capitals, is time taken away from developing new art assets for expansions.

Well I’m sure they will do it in future. Really if you think about it they had to rush the Halloween one out since it was so soon after the game was released. I feel Lion’s Arch and the other 3 zones that were changed was a pretty big offering considering.
Having said that I have played another game that (which I wont mention the name of) had pretty much all of their cities as big if not bigger and just as detailed as DR and they all were cosmetically changed for the holidays. So I’m sure given plenty more time we will see it here as well.

The thing which gets me is that people seem to think when you hit level 80 that’s it. Nothing left to do and nothing left to explore. I think it’s great we’re getting new content but Anet is going to be soon falling into the same thing they did in GW 1. How much of your gaming community isn’t even ready for new content ? How many of those people have not even touched what’s out there ? These events and level 80 content is going to make many players feel that they can not keep up with the game and they’ll split the player base into " have" and " have nots " making level 80 content that much harder for players to be a part of because they have not done a certain event or have a certain upgrade. It’s already happening in dungeons for pick up groups. Your casual player is getting left in the dust and the hard core only play level 80 content people are going to be bored and screaming there’s nothing left to do in a few weeks again anyway.
Honor is limited only by the limitations that we place upon ourselves.
Well I for one roam around low-mid levels just for fun now and then when bored. I have 2 level 80’s so far. I def agree things could be added to give more incentives for others to follow suit. Simple things like better rewards for beating champions for a start. Also imo teleporting costs should be removed for the map you are in. This would make it a lot easier to get from point A to point B when someone asks for help in map chat.
Simple little things like this would help a lot. Playing on my alts I see most of these maps dead and think “this really shouldn’t be the case, theres still lots of fun things to do here”. Having said that you need more people to do many of the events and beat the champions etc. Funny thing is I am sure I am seeing more and more npcs being put into replace the real players that have left the areas. Just yesterday I beat a champion with just myself and a necro npc that I saw for the first time in that map (kessex hills).
Who knows the good old “heroes” from gw1 might not be far off to replace real players at this rate.
