Guild Wars 2

not that i belive that zhed met with the sylvari, but!! "for example the peace advocate Ventari, a centaur who was already considered an elder in 1072 AE, lived long enough to deeply influence sylvari philosophy, finally passing away in 1180 AE. He continues to exist as a spirit within the Dream of Dreams, attributing this to their beliefs of their “guiding spirit ancestors”. " if ventari was an elder at that point and then lived another 100+ years, i think thats evidence that centaur have pretty long life spans. i actually thought i had read about this somewhere and was lookiing for the exact text when i stumbled on this isntead…. willl post again if i find more.

You should replay the instance, and before you start talking to anyone or interacting with npc, stand near each group of ppl and listen to there private conversations, (spoiler alert) more specifically, keep an eye on Cronk. (could be saying/spelling it wrong, but if you know you lore, it would be the sylvari who was arrested during the karka invasion and then released as a work/slave whatever they call it.) might bring some interesting speculation to your minds

that was something he would bring on his journey in season 2 not something that we would see alot of

I would just like to comment, that i have easily, with a little work and effort, made 100 g in the span of 24 hours. there are alot of ways to make gold, fractlals and dungeons are probably the most popular, and very profitable. another way is farming t6 mats, either in orr, or southsun. gathering from rich nodes (iron and plat to be exact) is currently how im making the majority of my gold. other than this, there is playing the tradepost which you can find alot of info about online. do world events, salvage the rares, sell the ectos. these are just the ways that i grind for gold, granted there are plenty of other ways. (being a hoarder will not make you rich)
