Guild Wars 2

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but this evening I argued for 1 hour and an half with my guildmates about flying boxes… Let me explain you. Some weeks ago me and a guildmate of mine started to build a jumping puzzle to reach the top of Gilded Hollow. At a certain point I left the game and the following morning I found a lot of flying boxes in the last part of the JP. I removed them, because boxes can’t fly, and then I built a new path adjacent to a rock wall.

Then this evening the topic was touched again. My guildmates think that GW2 is a fantasy game so anything can happen. For example in their opinion those boxes could be full of magical stuff or Maguma’s magnetic rock, ecc. I think that that’s not true neither possible, because I’ve bought that boxes from a vendor and I know that they are not magical, so they can’t fly.

What do you think about this?

Another point is what magic is in this game. I see GW2 magic as an extension of science (and Asura’s approach to it confirms this), something more like alchemy, so everything have to be extremly contextualized (also flying boxes, that for this reason cannot exist).
