MMORPG.com's News Manager Michael Bitton summarizes a very interesting developer journal over at the official Guild Wars 2 site detailing the game's dynamic events system.

Just two weeks ago ArenaNet blew the doors open on Guild Wars 2, revealing the first of eight professions: the Elementalist, and describing in-depth the game's innovative combat systems. Today, Guild Wars 2 Lead Content Designer Colin Johanson breaks down one of Guild Wars 2's most prominent features: the dynamic events system.

In the augural ArenaNet blog post by ArenaNet's studio head Mike O'Brien describing an overview of Guild Wars 2's design we learned that ArenaNet is moving away from what we know as the traditional quest based content system where NPC's stand around with question marks or exclamation points above their heads ready to dole out quests.
