“We have introduced new features into the game, like title tracks – which did not even exist in the original Guild Wars – and that is to fulfil the needs of those players who just don’t want to leave the world.”

A dearth of PUGs.
PUGs can be an immense source of aggravation but I doubt I would have learnt much about the game on my own.
