Guild Wars 2

A living story implies that it grows and changes and has a real impact. The current situation is a month (now 2 weeks) of temporary content then a giant reset button is pressed and everything goes back to how it was.

Living = continues. This is not happening here. Nothing continues and nothing permanently changes. There is a small time of new content that goes away with little to no reference to it ever again.

This is not a Living Story, instead is “Temporary Filler”

Absolutely agree!
I like GW2 but the living story needs two things: not being temporary, would be great if new players had something to do after they finish their personal story (could be that after the content time was up, new players would need to finish their personal story to get the previous living story content) and make it meaningful. I’ve been paying attention to these new characters anet has introduced us to, but they seem stopped in time. They don’t have developments. This is the 4th time Ellen Kiel showed up as a “main character” and the only thing that changed was her outfit! They had such a good chance to make something good with Marjory Delaqua at dragon bash!

Having temp content just makes people blast away through it in a matter of 2 or 3 days. Gives us more time to relax in the game Anet, let us enjoy the content instead of rushing through it
