Guild Wars 2

There is an area of the Cursed Shore that I’m sure we’re all aware of. You can rack up mass amounts of karma (and yellows and crafting mats) in a very short time due to there being a high concentration of short events that respawn quickly.

Due to this, the area is extremely overpopulated, so much so that the area’s difficulty is completely trivial. There’s no challenge to the events, you just stand there with the 49 other players and spam AOE and get mass amounts of loot and karma an an extreme rate for no real effort.

I think that, when high concentrations of players are detected, events should get A LOT harder. Every enemy that spawns should be at least veteran level, and there should be more of them. A lot more of them. Also, these veteran and boss enemies should have AOE, ground spam and CC abilities galore. I want to see red circles everywhere.

While this post is specifically about Cursed Shore, I think it can be freely applied to all zones. Are the centaurs of Queensdale really such a big threat when they lose every battle?

You know Cursed Shore is the only 80 (only 80) area right? There are also not always a ton of people at these events depending on the time of day. So having each mob be a veteran and increasing the number is not a good idea.

I think this post is more about getting spectacular rewards for minimal effort and trivializing the (ill go ahead and say it) ‘grind’ to get the best items in the game. In this I would have to agree, content should be scaled up to present an adequate challenge. On a side note and my personal opinion: a zone full of veteran mobs sounds really amusing.
