[[SPOILERS] - Highest Potential Character For Story Moving Forward]

The character with the highest potential for the future of guild wars 2 going forward might not be dead. There is going to be some roster changing now, potentially the entire roster, will be swapped out to be able to start a fresh new page in the guild wars story. Who better to do this with than an ex pirate that wants a second chance and may be in the mists encountering/finding out about a brewing conflict somewhere else? It is possible that Mai Trin didn't actually die and instead either retreated into the mists or scarlet took over and pulled her into the mists. Seeing as Rytlock went into the mists and remained there for a while, we know it is a possibility. On top of that, while she was not participating in the killing of themselves by running through fractals constantly, she did go through many fractals and would have seen many parts of history, potentially fractals that differ from what we have access to. This could start all sorts of possibilities now that she has come to terms with her past a bit and wants to move in a better direction, and on top of that she does have the potential to gain insight/knowledge from Scarlet to push the story from another angle.

 

Ex: As she is about to be killed, Scarlet rips her out of the reactor and into the mists to keep her alive and heal her. This took all that Scarlet had left and she dissipates afterwards, but not before an image is placed in the mind of Mai Trin of a fractal she had visited while they were learning how to navigate through fractals. After some time to recover and reflect on this image, she seeks out knowledge within the mists, and that very slight knowledge she is able to glean from the mists is taken to the only person who is willing to trust her and stand beside her: the commander. With adventure (not necessarily doom and gloom) on the horizon, they set out for their goal and pick up a couple of friends along the way.

 

I left it very vague on purpose, but I believe this is a very plausible and excellent way to have the story move forward, what do you think?

[[Suggestions]QoL (Quality of Life) Ideas [Merged]]

Either remove all time gates from the game, or move them to a once per character. It is extremely frustrating as a person that has OCD and only wants to work on one thing at a time that whenever a time gate comes up, I am not allowed to work on it anymore. Everytime there is a time gate that I encounter, I ultimately just end up doing whatever dailies I feel like doing, which gets diminished from said demoralizing time gate, and then get off GW2 until the next step can be taken on the next day.
