Arenanet has said that they don’t want to do Raids in the traditional sense and have created equivalents in open world: hammering down dragons and minions and the like. However, I was just thinking…
What if Arenanet were to create an instanced zone, smaller than the others, absolutely filled with events that switch about every time you enter (Akin to the way Fractals mix up) that take you and a group (maybe it scales up depending on how many people you bring so you can have really large groups) around the map doing event webs that slowly lead up through a story and up to a final epic encounter. That way its still a Raid and would satisfy the people in our community who like that sort of thing, but with a significant Guild Wars 2 flair :P
Just my two cents. Im sure there are heaps of holes but that’s the main idea. Thoughts? Improvements?
