    Yes. I'm not sure how you didn't get why from my post... Not really sure what else to say... This looks like a zone on the level of Dravania Forelands (for the outskirts) or Azys Lla (for the city), which I would absolutely love to explore. I can't state how amazing this area looks enough, really... My issue is we wont get to explore it in any detail... We'll be railroaded on a single path through it... It's the new 24 man raid... Honestly, the zone is wasted on the trash > boss > trash > boss > trash > boss > boss template SE has stuck to since 2.0... This could be an absolutely amazing zone for an amazing piece of content, but instead it's an amazing zone for a type of content I'm frankly very sick of... The fact that it's an amazingly designed zone just makes that all the more harder to swallow, because it's going to be a linear path... In the end, that amazing vista is just going to upset me, because every time I run this I'll be going "I want to fly over there and look at that!", and I'll never be able to...

    Sorry to say. Is just your opinion. The place looks amaising :/

    The the Great Gubal Library. It's amazing and thematic, but it's missing so much in the way of potential hidden lore.
    Welcome to large scale raids

    As I understand it(and agree), it is a shame that such nice locations are being delegated to the "gtta go fst, whers allince B?? Hurry up- we're all at the boss line!" Single corridor of trash mobs known as DF content for 24 people.

    Even in Void Ark, there was some awe-inspiring areas here and there (like the coffin room), but unfortunately I think they waste so much time making these places look so gosh-darn nice when the content they've designed it for has a party (or even just 1 impatient tank) rushing everyone along.

    Nobody is saying that these places don't look nice, it's just a shame where they're ending up.

    Ok? no need to said such things. Nothing is flying over my head.

    Its a pitty that this kind of places cannot be explored yes but also its a topic that have being talked about to many times already. If SE will do something about it, I dont know.

    I think most ppl will be confortable with this raid anyway.
