Guild Wars 2

In the Guild Wars 2 design philosophy, spawn camping was specifically cited as a problem to be avoided. I have just run around for 45 minutes in Ascalon from projector to projector and have gotten 3 Aetherblades for the achievement (a single spawn). The Caches spawn them reliably, and every cache I came across had people waiting there. In other words, by far the most efficient way to get the achievement (maybe the only way at this rate) is to spawn camp.

Will this problem be addressed before the Sky Pirates event ends? Should I go off to Vexxa’s now and spawn camp?

If you’re having trouble finding nodes, try guesting on a low-pop server.

I am not having trouble finding nodes. None spawned pirates. I changed strategy to going around in large circles activating nodes so they reset and then going back to them. This gets me about 1 blade per 7-8 minutes, which is still less efficient than spawn camping.

Try going to lower populated zones? I got all of my achievements in less than 3 hours of running circles in certain maps.
