Crafting is the worst thing about the game.
So a lot of people were complaining the Living World had no sense of meaning or permanence. And sometimes it was sort of true and seemed reset button worthy especially with the rapid releases of every 2 weeks leaving little time to get achievements. And then they probably blew up the most important thing to players-- Lion's Arch.
It was a pretty good idea though people tend to find something else to complain about it.
As a side note Gw2 really shows why anime length skirts aren't too practical as physics does not allow for magical skirts. Why did they even do that?
And heavy armor/ especially medium armor really needs more variety.
