I miss some of the old pre-Cataclysm zones. I liked old Duskwood better. Mor'Ladim being several levels higher made the graveyard scarier and it was more satisfying to finally kill him. I also loved the unexpected Oh-shi-- moment of running into Stitches on the road. I also miss the old Plaguelands quests which could offer the players some Guild Wars 2 gold. They felt a lot more menacing than they do now. I like that Chromie was hanging out in an inn surrounded by the dead and that she made you find clocks or something. XDOf course time has passed ingame and I like that all three of these zones have changed as a result. They are all three still my favorite old world zones. I also miss Darkshore and Auberdine. I feel so sad now seeing it destroyed that I don't like questing there now. I mourn the dead NPCs. I don't think I would go back though. I like that the world changes...even if I don't always like the changes.
One thing I miss is old school AV. There were random minefields up the sides of the map and matches lasted days. Turn ins were good strategy, but almost all the side objectives (capping the mines, etc) were kind of useless. Having a large-scale, epic pvp battle was never won in less than 15 minutes, basically. I also really liked the design & idea of the Benediction & Rhokdelar quests, and wish they'd bring back that kind of quest: an epic reward which hinged mostly on you knowing how to play your class. I'll add too that it seems like 12-ish-60 is almost too fast now. Not from a 'dang I need to get 90 already' perspective, but this last time I leveled through with no heirlooms, almost no rested, I never got to do all the quests in a zone for Guild Wars 2 gold before they turned all the way from orange to green.
The current AV is a pale shadow of what it was; I used to love those battles, did nto care about winning or losing, but just enjoyed the never ending battle. Now the 2 teams just run past each other and try to zerg first, no one fights much anymore for GW2 gold. Ath strat is still a feeble attempt to recapture AV's former glory, though an attempt is better than nothing. I'm talking back to the very first incarnation, where 12 hours was a remarkably short match.
