When I read the thread title, I thought it said “revenant killed thieves.” I was very confused when I read nothing about Revenant.

I’ve been leveling several characters through the new progression and I can confirm that it feels very counter intuitive. Before, the story would slowly pull me through zones but since I get it in chunks now, I don’t have any direction to go through till every milestone.
On my main characters, I can clearly see the progression of those characters across the world based on their map completion as I typically don’t try to clear an entire zone when I visit new areas and it’s a very interesting feeling to see their journeys across Tyria through the hearts and points of interest they’ve seen and completed.
What makes this worse is when you hit x5 where you have no particular direction to go and it’s a strange leveling stop with nothing particular happening. Also, the fact your stats don’t really change till you hit this stat burst makes it a pain to try and tackle areas that are even slightly higher than your level to get those last bits of experience is much more difficult than it should be.
Ah… I’ve never had that problem really since gold is pretty plentiful and relatively easy to earn, but I can see how that can be an issue.
Though it does leave the question as to what to do with characters that have experienced the broken story. It’s been established that the story can’t be reversed nor replayed. What needs to be done? Reroll a new character and sink in more gold just to get the gear needed?
Ascended Gear is Account Bound so there’s no problem there in regards to what to do with the gear: just bank it and make a new character as you see fit. Unless you’re talking about all the progression then that also has to be earned again as well. Certain Soulbound gear is also unattainable, but you probably can still use the skin. It might not be a replacement of the item itself but you can still have the look of it.
