So it took Tyria's greatest detective.
The Lost Shores was a year ago (in game time), so I think they’re kind of all recovered from that.
But yeah I sort of agree with your post.
You are right that Marjory is smarter than this, but I think that ANet is making you be the leader. The person that helped guide her. Also they didn’t tell of her true intent, but we will know. We also know more about the attack such as the poison option.
They can’t give away the true intent yet because they have something big in store. I think if you look at the evidence, there is something buried deep in the middle of lions arch where all the leylines meet. She is going to drill straight towards it and things are going to change quickly.
Keep in mind the other hint that the clues gave us. She came out as scarlet. They said that only what she already knew went in with her. Whatever scared her was already in her head. Are all Sylvari a dragons minion just waiting to be awoken? Was the pale tree planted over a buried dragon?

Wasn’t there a map in Scarlet’s layer with giant red arrows pointing in the direction of Lion’s Arch? And a big black cross on it (along with the order HQs)?
You’re not the leader when throughout the entire instance, Marjory, Kasmeer and Vorpp tell you what are the right and wrong answers.
What I don’t get is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9LrN-LD-ZI#t=1m29 … the positions of the gates relative to each other correspond to none of the gates in LA. (Or any other I know of)
They just don’t care anymore. The years spent building extensive, believable lore to serve as a foundation of a believable fantasy world that feels organic and alive, have been thrown right out the window along with the Manifesto and their reputation for excellence.
When you’ve compromised so much, stuff like this doesn’t even get a second thought.
The most interesting mystery to me is what the heck happened to Arenanet?

Undead pirates have taken over :P
In my “examine the evidence” thing, Jory and Kasmeer figured out about the Lion’s Arch attack like 3 items in. Then I had 7 more items of fluff/filler to examine.
In all honesty, this evidence collection should have been more sparsely spread-out throughout the Living Story.
Could you imagine if we’d found out in November of last year about a Lion’s Arch attack?
We could have had Hero-Tron collecting donations to build airships for defense of Lion’s Arch.
And then our “defense of Lion’s Arch” event success would depend on how much gold people on your server had donated over the course of the past few months.
Oh, but wait, see Ho-Ho-Tron for pointless gold sinks.
Edit: Well, not-quite-so-pointless… It did start a little event inside of Lion’s Arch that was amusing.
Didn’t you post this before . . . .?
Nah, must be seeing things.
Well it’s a good thing they were there to tell my semi-illiterate norn ranger when she was barking up the wrong tree. Fight she can do (did the break the stuff path in the Tower of Nightmares as canon—the other one for the APs). Solve complex riddles or figure out how to fix things she leaves to her engineer friend (conveniently played by my wife).

It is a mistake to attack LA. It is a major hub for all 5 nations. That means it will rapidly get reinforced.
Divinity’s Reach is the city they should attack. There is only one Asura Gate to send in reinforcements. Send a spy/saboteur to blow it up. GG. (Until the heroes come save the day.)

I just now thought about Marjory becoming Guild Wars Batman.
Anet, make her into Batman. Er, Batwoman. You know what I mean.
