It's a gigantic forest with huge trees all turned into dark stones and buildings are made inside those trees with important gothic cathedrals vibes. Here's a look at it in gw1 :

Imagine a ruined city with all its locations, thieves, undeads, demons running around, a maze of streets, avenues, corridors and houses and buildings where danger is at every turn If they do kaineng with the next expac you'll have it. It's basicly a quarter of Cantha :)

Restraining yourself to use a part of the game shouldnt be a thing.

If we couple it with the recent tendency to heavily underuse waypoints, it would almost certainly turn into a nightmare.

Since launch waypoints are, for me, are one of the biggest problems of this game. It just break the feeling of an open world and are not immersive at all. I'm really happy there are less and less of them. They find other ways to TP players aoround map that are way better imo. And what thrill me is actually getting lost and learning to find my way trought to finnaly guide others when they struggle. Kaineng would be a perfect place for that !
