Guild Wars 2

What I mean is that do you need some sort of plot to be associated with every single update and would we actually benefit from just doing updates with out a plot sometimes?

For example, Tequatl has a ‘story’ behind it. That story was pretty bad, you can tell it was just drafted in at the last minute because it has to fit a ‘living world’. This resulted in both a waste of time creating and implementing this ‘story’ and also making the game’s quality seem lacklustre. Now imagine if the devs just said ‘we thought Tequatl wasn’t awesome enough so we made him more awesome’, problems with how it was implemented aside, would it have made the update better?

Due to the size of the game without the living story to focus players into certain regions doing activities together. Otherwise the PvE population would be spread thin throughout the world. That would lead to the “there’s nobody else around” which leads to cries for server merges and the doomcriers proclaiming the end of the game. Living Story is a good way to end up neck deep in other players. Makes the world seem more active and alive.
