I think it’s a missing element of the GW2 world if a player is, in essence, required to go to a wiki or other site in order to find out what to do at an event. I want a completely immersed world to explore — all the relevant info should be provided in-game.
It’s not being lazy or a desire to be spoon-fed. Think about it: If you were really an Asuran mesmer running across the Silverwastes to the event, are you going to be able to check Dulfy’s website?
How about having some NPCs at the events that can be queried for the event mechanics, or even call out the relevant stages and what to prioritize on? If the info is generally available outside the game, why isn’t it inside as well?
