Stop Making Heavensturn An Event

[Rakiria]

They could still make a smaller, instanced copy of Kugane to do the event in, then decorate the real one to look like it.

I think that would ruin it for players when they actually do get to that city. It's like, oh, I've been here before. Besides, at least Ishgard is completely closed off lore-wise before, actually even after the start of HW since the WoL getting in there is an exception. And seeing as a travel to Kugane would take, if i remember this correctly, about two months, going there for some event seems odd too.
But mostly, I think getting to those cities should be something great you work towards, that feels rewarding when you finally get there, not something you already kind of get at level 15 when most people don't even know they will get there at some point, even if just for a brief amount of time.

They could only do a smaller version of Kugane, like maybe just the tavern (minus the jump puzzle) and the Aetheryte Plaza and have the rest of the areas walled off. Give them a taste but not the whole meal.
