Not sure if someone has posted about this, however a couple guildies recommended I post about it here. This is mostly what is putting me off from playing any Path of Fire content, and even some of the elite specs and going into mounts and mount skills. Honestly, all the new maps seem to be some kind of "desert jungle", and that's essentially what it is. Elona, Vabbi, etc are NOT desert jungles, or at least they SHOULDN'T be. I haven't played Gw1, but people who have played it tell me that there are great nations here, despite being under siege. The devs at anet had a wonderful opportunity to transform Amnoon and Lily of the Elon into a grand city that players can call the Lion's Arch of Elona, and some people do! But honestly, I don't see it that way. Why would I go down there? It's not a city it's an encampment. The events down there are "just there". Why would I do the events here when I can form Silverwastes and Auric Basin. There are about 3 maps down there but it feels like 7, and they're all empty. I kind of feel like Amnoon should have been it's own instance with more waypoints, vistas, PoIs. Almost like the Divinity's Reach of Elona. They also had an opportunity to create Palawa Joko's own city, or a Sunspear city, since Amnoon was always known as independent. Things like this presents opportunities to expand down there even more. Having a place players can call a home down there is something that can help encourage players to explore Elona. These are just some rough thoughts in my head, I know that it may not entirely be possible or logical in terms of the story, but I think it would improve quality of life for players like me who are just not feeling "Path of Fire".
