There is a choose your own story feel to questing in Guild Wars 2. I can go ahead and complete the quests a bunch of different ways. I could go and pick poison plants and whetstones and turn them in, use unstable explosives, set traps or kill centaurs and smash their supplies, and I really like this. Usually I will choose not to fight but instead do the collecting part and/or feeding animals (one of my all time favorite parts of quests) and it might be slower but I can still do it that way if I want to and I do want to. It isn't a rigid system, and on top of it a dynamic event could start in the area that would help with quest progression (and I love that).
Do you remember the choose your adventure books? Because that is what this reminds me of, regardless of how I help I am still helping the citizens of Tyria, and if you are someone like me who is making multiple legendaries this is especially nice because the quests don't get as repetitive. The next time I come and do this quest on a different character I could do it a different way. I am the type of person who likes to float around from one thing to the next seamlessly and with these quests I can do that, I could still be getting quest progression but hop from doing one part of the quest objective to the next and still finish my end goal (map completion). Completing the maps can be a long journey (there are a lot of zones), but this doesn't make it feel as bad. If I had to do map completion in WoW for example that would be very painful, as there are a lot of quests that you would have to do over and over again, and they are very rigid quests. Since you get a piece that you need from map completion to make the original legendaries you have to do it on multiple characters if you want multiple legendaries. I don't actually mind completing a zone in WoW but I only want to ever have to do it once. I am really glad that Guild Wars 2 gives you options, I can quests my own way and enjoy doing the quests multiple different ways!
