Guild Wars 2

Why do the Asura route (almost) all their gates through Lions Arch?

Don’t they realise this has created an unnecessary bottleneck, and is channelling people and trade into Lions Arch and away from the other cities including from their very own Rata Sum? As a result of this inefficient arrangement, Lions Arch is booming but prone to over-crowding (i.e. overflow) issues, while the other cities (Rata Sum included) are falling far behind in terms of both economy and population.

Surely the Asura must realise that the only people who are benefiting from this configuration are the traders of Lions Arch. They must also realise they have created a single point of failure for almost the entire network and handed control of traffic over the network to Lion’s Arch.

Given Lions Archs recent political and military history, it is foolish of the Asura to let it remain a bottleneck and potential single point of failure.

When will the Asura dismantle the dependence on Lions Arch as the hub for the gate network and start connecting gate routes that do not depend on the political and military stability of Lions Arch?

I wish they’d stop focusing everything on LA. I like the Grove a lot more and would love to use the Mystic Forge there and everything else I wanna do in LA there instead.

Maybe the Asura are sick of all the Bookah’s and want them out of Rata Sum and in LA. Ever think of that? :P

They should put in events like:

Save the Grove, Save the Black Citadel, Divinity’s Reach under siege….
