From: synister666 | #012So whats the point of this island if there are no quests for it? Why is there no story or anything attached to it? Are they planning on adding something to direct you there in the future?
I don't get why this island just sits there when you have to fly through a fatigue area to even reach it like you aren't supposed to be there.
It's another form of content. It's also where Oondasta, one of the new world bosses, spawns. It's kind of off the map because it's intended for more "hardcore" players who enjoy the challenge of fighting the dinosaurs and the grind of going for rare drops. If it were heavily illuminated and filled with player-power rewards like the Isle of Thunder, players would demand nerfs. Keeping it as a fun cosmetic side project is sort of a way of throwing more hardcore players a bone.
