Might as well remove Daily Group Event
Or you do like most folks.
Go the the newbie zones and do group events there.
Like the cave troll and corrupted oakheart in the human starter zone. they pop on a regular basis and there is always shouts in chat about them popping
all the events people regularly farm count such as the 3 dragons, shadow behemoth, maw, fire elemental, wurm, golem mark II etc.
Just go to http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/ to see when they spawn and get your guaranteed rares.
Or go into any exploer dungeon and complete it, I just completed it tonight in TA ( even though I never needed to daily was already done ).
that ones a joke , you could sneeze in wayfarer foothills and complete it . You have Maw ,Wolfmaster and the Svanir Dome
Plus, all Keep defenses in WvW are Group Events, do a pittance to stave off enemy players and get your bronze and voila.
2 options: beginner zones or Orrian temple zerg run, if your server does that
The chain where You defeat Ulgoth in Harathi Hinterlands gives 2 or three group events (I forget). If you do that once a day you can satisfy the group event and get a daily chest. There’s a ton of people there for the chest so its Doable.
You are right on the population thing. Its been brought up repeatedly. Perhaps anet is working on it. Perhaps not. Hard to tell with them. They usually remain silent until they change something. (like adding the jugs of liquid karma)
Actually that’s one of the events I see as one of the easiest to complete. As other people mentioned, any of the dragon or chest events counts, and some of them are multiple stages so sometimes with just one of them you can get the achievement done.
Also be on the lookout for anyone calling for “champion X at Y waypoint”, usually any champion has an associated group event to kill it.
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
