I am really not a fan of these living story update. Personally, I would rather pay for an xpack than continue to run around Tyria forever. Cantha was by far the best continent of GW1 and by leaving it out, Anet is simply cutting content that could make them more money and improve on the game. This excuse of “They isolated themselves” for Cantha is boring, unimaginative, and a completely lame cop out.
