So, perchance the inevitable implementation of Ala Mhigo and the storylines around it being under Garlean occupation, would be a good moment to return our companions?
I like this idea. We all know they're going to add in Ala Mhigo via expansion eventually, and if they decide to keep the Path Companions tied in with the Ala Mhigan resistance dynamic, then adding them in said expansion might be the perfect way to do it. Really I think it might be more preferable for the Path Companions to be reintroduced through any expansion related to any new land.

In an expansion, they will have the ability to make the Path Companions more robust with as much of the wanted features as they can fit in.
Not to mention the possibilities to make whichever new land more unique in terms of expansions, thus avoiding possible more-of-the-same complaints about content that have happened with other mmo's expansions. They could tie the Path Companions in with the main storyline of the new region or have it run parallel with it, and in doing so greatly increase the value of the expansion pack to many players, which in turn will increase the sales of the expansion than if it didn't have the Path Companions in it.

If they were implemented via a content update patch, it might be rushed and not have as many features.
