Yea, I get what you mean. I feel that GW2's strongest parts are the exploration/discovery bits. The game is beautiful (Anet always had very good art direction) and there are so many little things to discover.
It's also why the expansions put me off, they were so hard to solo, and I was constantly fighting for my life. Never got that vibe I did with the base game.
Yeah, Heart of Thorns is still very difficult solo, but Path of Fire and End of Dragons are quite comfortable, especially once you get an elite spec into your build. It kind of feels like the difficulty progression was reversed, as open world play has actually gotten easier with each expansion.
