Guild Wars 2

As the title says I was wondering why you have to explore all 3 of the WvW borderlands for 100% map completion

Why is it mandatory to explore the same thing 3 times over, and have all 3 required to be for the most part under your teams control and always under the threat of being ganked or killed?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to avoid PvP, but this is a little ridiculous

Because all 3 of them are separate places :<

It makes sense from a gameplay perspective rather than an explorable one.
Each team should have its own home base area. If you were required to only explore one, then you would still find that either your team had to be winning by miles (in which case exploring the others would still be cakewalk) or you would have to wait until you were another color (in which case its still a cakewalk to explore the other areas, you just have to wait for the right color change)

also whats wrong with free exp? More Poi’s vistas and skillpoints for very little effort? Yes please.

Saw Borderlands and got excited, than was like awe! =(

goes back to waiting for Tuesday

Separate places? They’re unique in the same way a red apple and a green apple differ

everything is the same except for a few small, incessant details

But they ARE different locations. They have the same design, but they are different locations. In order to get 100% World Completion, it’s logical that you have to explore all the world.

I wish the red, green, and blue worlds at least LOOKED different. Using the same clipping layout, they could just change the textures and props and make radically different looking arenas.

Blue = Like it is now, snow on top, green meadows on the bottom. (Norn/Human area)
Green = Jungle look on top, beachy look on bottom (Like Sylvari/Asura area)
Red = Autumn look on top, brand/wasteland on bottom (Like Charr/Ebonhawke areas)

Other than the looks, the paths and mountains and bases/camps/towers/whatever would all be the same. At least you’d have a visual difference between the areas to tell them apart easier!
