I know WvW takes place in the Mists, but what are we fighting for exactly and why?

They refer to it as the Mist Wars, but I don’t remember hearing the NPCs actually discuss what we were fighting for other than glory.

I believe what the Mist Warriors say is that they’re fighting for “control of the Mists”. That’s about it. The benefits gained by controlling the mists aren’t really expanded on at all as far as lore goes.

I am probably Dead wrong. Don’t qoute me, and I am by no means “dev” aprroved. This is 100% my theory, and oppinion, without a lot of evidence to back it up.
To me the Mists wars are both a neccecity and a glory thing. The mists connect countless worlds…which EACH WORLD is it’s own world.
In world “A” for all we know Zhaitans been destroyed. In our own world thought a diffrent timeline has been made, and its haveing diffrent events happen to it all the time.
As I see it, worlds are actualy seperate worlds(not just servers). Lore-wise they seem to be seperate entities…But then We get to the important part. We are in a War with them.
To our world whatever it is, we go to war against Invaders. Invaders are so named becuase they are Invading something. To us, they could be potential enemies. Why just own one world, when you could own 2? So Whilst you can not die in the mists physicaly…It still is a war.
Recrueters would not recruit without a reason. We need people to defend our world from the invaders, and stop them from controling the mists and the powers hidden in them. Which honestly, those powers to exist, espeicaly when you can game-wise feel benefits asciated with the mists. Its for glory, but its also a war to the worlds.
I mean, imagine if a world conquered the mits fully and had the power to take over another world. Its sort of like a take and defend. We take the keeps we can, to stop you from takeing them and useing them agaisnt you. But I feel it really is as the description says it is. The “mist wars”.
I don’t have a lot to back that up. Its my personal oppinion and viewpoint.
