1) will primal battles go as well? and with them our chances to obtain their drops?

2) will discontinued achievements still display on the UI as forever unattained ones?

3) will cutter's cry and the aurum vale still exist? and will DL gear still drop from the 5 chests?

4) will stronghold and their bosses stay?

5) will some faction leves be removed? If so, which ones?

6) will skirmish and its drops stay?

7) will ALL cutscenes stay on the journal or will the dated one be gone?
1) yeah the current fights will be gone, primals will become roaming nm's after that nothing else was said.

2) they are going to try and keep them on lodestone.

3) the raid will still be there but good chance they'll be different.

4) strong hold will be come instanced and optimized

5) who knows about this nothing will be the same as it was.

6) skirmish might stay or go.

i think skirmish is a good system for content thats instanced even leves can take advantage of that BUT they do really need to let you in the lobby area even when your alone you still need to talk to the npc again anyways and it would clear a ton of people in town all in one spot and just keep you in that area.
