Yes, I'm talking about GW2, as it was used as an example in this thread.

Besides, nobody would take the time to walk or fly. Everyone would still use fast travel anyway.

And finally, it's probably technically impossible at this point. So I'd rather have meaningful content than them going submarine-mode during two years to then say "hey, look, you can go from southern Thanalan to center simply by walking!!11!1! How awesome is that!1!11!!! You know, the maps where you have seen for five years now and that you have no incentive in going back!!1!"

Again, no thanks.
Well, except the stories and quests actually do keep bringing us back to old zones.
