People don't understand that the devs who handle the gem store are just a small team on Gw2.
They must be some very talented,motivated and productive team if they are able to give us rewards at Gemstore at such consistent and quality basis, mad props to them!
They are a fantastic team, for sure! So are the living world teams, though. It's a matter of scope. The more you can isolate the scope of your changes, the faster you can create content. This is why outfits are easier than armor sets, for example. A living world episode interacts with orders of magnitude more game systems and features than an outfit.
