Guild Wars 2

Is there any meaningful difference in the world of Guild Wars? I’m referring more to the high technology of the Asura than gunpowder or steam power.

If the technology that the races are becoming increasingly reliant on is really just magic in a different form, it seems like the dragons could ultimately become unstoppable since all of it could become food for them.

The asura do not use “technology” they use “magitech” – or rather “magical technology” – the difference between typical technology and magitech is that the later is powered by magic, rather than things like steam, coal, or electricity.

And the asura’s reliance on magitech is actually a plot point for the asura lvl 20-30 storyline; namely that the Arcane Eye’s covering up the discovery that the dragons consume magic, and we the players trying to uncover it up so that people can learn… the asura are a buffet for the dragons.
