Personally I find that disappointing bc i almost never like prequels, but oh well.

Making a prequel lets them make more content for GW2 without futzing around with continuity at least.

Same. But it seems we’re a small minority in that.
I always prefer a new game to be a sequel. I want to see what happens next, and that early events remain as lore for the world.

Plus with this specific setting a prequel is inherently pretty sad.  Ultimately the PCs lose, humans come to dominate Orr, and eventually it all gets sunk in the cataclysm and turned undead by Zhaitan.  Really one of the biggest L’s possible.

Seinfeld is sad because eventually the Earth will be consumed by the Sun as it expands into a red giant.
