whom commands the dragons
You’re ascribing qualities to the dragons that I don’t think they actually have.
the dragons operate on a cycle to wipe tyria clean of civilizations…. why? and who ordered them to do it?
Why does somebody have to have ordered them to? The point of the dragons is that they’re forces of raw destruction – people have said multiple times that they’re more like forces of nature than creatures. It’s just what they do. I would suggest there is no end goal in mind, just a drive to destroy.
the dragons seem to co operate with one anothers minions not attacking one another (unless of course the krait are servants of the deep sea dragon, theyre collecting slaves for a reason and i doubt its to build an army against the dragons)
When have you seen dragon minions avoid each other? Just because they haven’t launched full armies against each other, doesn’t mean they’re co-operating. I certainly haven’t seen any go out of their way to avoid others; if they’re minions of forces of destruction, they’ll all destroy what’s in their way, meaning they do the same work but that’s not the same as working together. And the krait collect slaves to sacrifice; you can read a little about their religion here from the source at ArenaNet.
if nothing commanded them to ravage the earth then how are they going to top six dragons for a nemisis?
Why would they need to top the dragons? Five or six major expansion bosses isn’t enough? I’d say that’s plenty for any long-term planning! Besides, if they did find themselves in a position where they needed new enemies, if I were them I would make a problem which was an after-effect of the dragons or how we stopped them, not just a bigger beastie.
and how exactly do you kill something that reigns over death?
Zhaitan in no sense ‘rules over death’. He creates undead. That’s rather different. He’s more like a plague given the danger of corruption that multiplies his minions; more pestilence than death.
maybe shiro is a pawn of the crystal dragon?
I really, really doubt it. And I think just re-using old game enemies would be an incredibly lame storytelling device.

The Dragons exist to eat magic not destory civilzation. The Dwarves, Jotun and Musrat survived because of this. Just because Joko is less powerful then the Dragons doesn’t mean he will have no impact on the player. There are other ways to make Joko to have an effect on the player.
maybe shiro is a pawn of the crystal dragon?
Kralkatorrik is in Tyria not Cantha why would he have an champion in Cantha when he is supposed to awaken his master in Tyria.
We know that Shiro was a pawn of Abbadon.
dragons are basically human gods
Not in the least.
the dragons operate on a cycle to wipe tyria clean of civilizations…. why?
They work in cycles because they run out of food, their food is magic. I don’t think the existence of civilizations matter to them.
and who ordered them to do it?
Who orders you to eat?
Little – if any – difference.
the dragons seem to co operate with one anothers minions not attacking one another
Wrong. We were explicitly told by Jeff Grubb and Ree Soesbee before rleease that dragon minions will attack each other. However, the only place we see them within claws length of each other is Crucible of Eternity which given the mechanical nature of dungeons is a bit odd (all foes in a single dungeon hold the same affiliation and thus are made as allies).
if nothing commanded them to ravage the earth then how are they going to top six dragons for a nemisis?
By presenting something that isn’t acting on impulse.
An intelligent enemy is far more deadly than a powerful animal – which is effectively what Elder Dragons are. They do have thoughts and can strategize, but so can, for instance, wolves.
maybe shiro is a pawn of the crystal dragon?
There’s absolutely no relation between Shiro Tagachi and Kralkatorrik. None at all.
Shiro Tagachi didn’t crystallize anything, he petrified the sea. It just so happens to be that the petrified form of water is a crystalline form. And note that Kralkatorrik doesn’t crystallize water.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
