I hate GW2s Living Story with a passion. Since this is an MMO, we're used to stuff always remaining the same. What I'd want is more akin to a pre-expansion event. I like the fact they went with such a drastic change to the story but I'd be even more impressed if they managed to merge the story developments with game world changes. Not something huge, just something that shows, doesn't tell, that stuff changed.
