The question is what becomes of Purple Lotus Swamp, Lacheish Plains and Poitain when we remove the crafting missions? These are areas of rich potential and plenty of space for enjoyable activities.
As the Gd asked us to do in the announcement. Here are some of my ideas for the zones.
King of the Hill open world combat systems. Each point will move after a time of owning the hill. This isn't just pvp, but also raid encounters "much like the 5 year anniversary boss's" They attack you in the middle of defending. Putting your foes, instantly on your side to get past the boss who wants to destroy all of you.
This will make the pvp system in the game, attract pve'rs aswell. It could drop pvp gear/pve gear/what ever.
Just an idea!
