I hate the temporary nature of the content. It feels like an obligation to login and rush to get the achievements before they are gone. I don’t like it! It’s exactly the opposite of what they said initially – that we would be able to play the way we want. Sure you can say you can skip the LS, no one’s forcing you to play it. But then again I can say the same thing for WoW. I don’t like raids but I am not forced to do them or anything. Does that mean I get to choose the way I play without being punished?

It depends on the quality of the episode.

If the content is interesting I’ll play it, otherwise I’ll just ignore it.
For instance, I played the FF dungeon a lot because it was fun and well calibrated, hardly touched the adventure box (not really my thing), ventured into the aetherblade dungeon a couple of times (got extremely frustrated but managed to get the successes with a good group ^^), found the bazar to be amazing.

It’s funny that people complain about having too much to do, before they complained that that the endgame is an empty grind towards legendaries.

Right now the game has loads of content: pve (events/hearts/dungeons/personal story/guild missions/fractals/jumping puzzles/mini games/living story updates), wvw, pvp, all for free. If the LS story seem boring, do something else. If you find the rewards not interesting don’t strive for them (they are mostly cosmetic).

If you’re not having fun, it’s not worth the hassle. It’s a game after all.

Yes, but only because I don’t want empty achievement panels and I don’t want to miss out on the one time only rewards (like the quartz node, one time only back skins, etc.).
Bazaar might have been the most fun probably (other than MA facility), just cause of the new movement stuff. Don’t really like the heights/open spaces/instant deaths though.
So far, if it was just the story, I probably wouldn’t be playing the new stuff that much.
