better waypoints
The waypoint is contested because the area is owned by the risen. If you waypointed there they would start nomming on you the second you click the button (because your character model instantly appears while you’re in the loading screen).
There are a few waypoints that are set up to always be available. The rest is up to the community to maintain. It works the same in centaur-heavy parts of Kryta, dredge-controlled parts of the Shiverpeaks, Nightmare-controlled bits of… well, you get the idea.
What distinguishes Orr is that the risen are everywhere, so, a priori, we know the Pact has to be vigilant, or we’ll be whispering to each other from the grave. I like that feeling that it’s hard to get around Orr unless we cooperate. And it never takes that many people to wrest control away from the Risen — it just takes time.
This is on purpose as it brings the feeling of the area to be “war”. Each way point being contested means Tyria is fighting the undead in orr. It gives orr the feeling of danger and war.
Plus as already said there’s always a way point for you to use.
