Why isn’t the personal story system used for the living story? It’s perfect, with UI help, its own tab in the hero panel…
With the Dragon Bash living story’s completion we get Marjory’s Journal, an item whose only purpose is to replay the cinematic.
Am I the only one who thinks this is redundant, inefficient and dumb? If the living story was played using the personal story system, together with a section in the hero panel, we could replay it from there, without wasting any bank space.
What’s going to be the situation when we have dozens of these books? What’s going to happen when we get an expansion with an entire new personal story?
If you need more reasons, you could read this analysis on how to improve the personal story: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/191me2/detailed_analysis_on_how_to_improve_the_personal/ specifically the “Using the personal story model for new storylines” section.

I used Photoshop to create an example like this back when Last Stand was going on.
Attached a Marjory update using the “My Story” tab.

I’ve been wondering why they didn’t do this since Living story started! Missed opportunity here so far. I’d love if ANet did this. I mean they could totally use it for your character’s story! Plus all that story stuff they type up and put on their website would be so much better to have in game in my opinion.
Definitely a missed opportunity, the space is not really well used and adding living story content would be perfect. I would love to read back on my accomplishments and the characters I have met during the living story events. Plus I would much rather have Majory’s Journal not waste inventory space, a cinematic tab is a far better compromise.
Another thing that could do with additional changes which the living story could help provide is the home instance.

THAT! Is excately the same thing I have ben thinking about!
Make a tab in the Personal Story or something that takes you to Living World, where you can, like in the Personal Story, keep track of what you have done and what you missed. Then as in the Personal Story make it so that under this part with Marjory you can click the item that shows the cinematic.
+1 for this!
