You know, I just went to the old tombs hoping to get a group and found it completely deserted.
It is really such a shame that "old" chapters just have to be forgotten when new ones are released, especially when you think back to the great times you spent in those areas.
So a suggestion to Anet is, instead of selling lame stuff like $9.99 PvP skill unlocks, how about selling new unlockable content in various old continents as well? At least it will help to increase the replayability of these areas (and make Anet some more money as well).
Suggestion: Content minipacks

until GW has more chapters...
ANET will make more cash by selling Chapter 1 to people that dont own it

Who is going to shell out for 1/2 a chapter worth of missions and playing with henchmen the whole way? Not me.

Tombs isnt empty cause people arnt playing the old chapter, tombs is empty cause people got tired of it. Its 4 maps that can take 45 minutes or longer to get green drops that arnt worth that much anymore.
I will do ocassional guild runs with new people who have never done it before, but otherwise i dont have much of a reason to ever play there, not really worth it.
While it would be a cool idea to have mini expantions for old chapters, It wouldnt really work out in the end I think, it would just split up the user base within the chapter itself to who bought it and who didnt. Wont it be fun trying to find the people who have the upgrade and those who dont?
also it would mess with a bunch of things, like the cartographer title. I think all that will really happen is for new weapon skins or greens to pop up once and awhile.
The only thing Id like them to add now is more god worlds, they have statues for all of them in both ToA and zin ku, and they are having the avaters with the dervishes, I really think they should add those worlds because they are core and any chapter has access to them.

I really don’t think they should go down the road of selling new areas through their store.

First of all, suggestions go in Sardelic not Riverside! >_<. Second of all, there are a couple threads floating around with basically the same idea. Third, this is a bad idea.

It's deserted because the loss of value in the drops.

I like the idea of mini expansions, not because I think previous chapters should be expanded for replayability, but because there is alot of background and character to pull on from old chapters which can be made into additional content.
I also like the idea of mini chapters which just add some enjoyable elements or a new class. If they developed something extrodanary like a great PvE or PvP addition which could be used with any exsisting chapters, or even add new gameplay elements to exsisting chapters, it would be very enjoyable. But this isn't a license to sell improvements to weaknesses in the game which should be remedied anyways, like a better player commerce solution, I don't intend to pay out for something intergal to the game which everyone should have.
I have to say I am disappointed in the PvP pack they released, they are basicly selling access to exsisting content, and I think it is a farce. I can understand the utility of having access to skills from another chapter, but it only accesses them for PvP characters, and it cost way too much. I could agree with something like 19.99 for all classes skills, but what they offered is nearly the price of buying another game, just to access a full utility of PvP skills. Overall though, I think skill access isn't something that should be sold, it should be earned, some better skill access opportunities are a great idea, but simply selling them to turn some profit is downright gold-digging in my book.
