High level Areas
get better weapons & armor and a good build. To be honest: World-PvE is really easy.
Been getting some odd behavior in Cursed Shore lately. I think some mobs are spawning for certain events, then not despawning when the event ends or fails. Ran into a vet Abomination surrounded by about 20 risen nobles today, and when I say surrounded I mean they looked like they were trying to get it’s autograph. Checked around for an event, one had failed earlier (about 5 to 10 minutes), found none active. Just another bug I hope they iron out…..sometime.
You are correct, some areas and events are a bit too tough to solo. I’m not sure if it’s by design though.
From experiance as you get to the later maps they need you to rely on one of 2 things:
1 – Playing in groups.
2 – Playing in non glass cannon builds with a means to do AOE damage to fight the groups you will encounter.
There is a 3rd option which is to completly ignore mobs and run through them or if a thief to stealth your way through. However I don’t believe that A-net wanted this to be a viable option. :P
Summary: build your character to handle groups of mobs because that’s what you will face more often than not. You can notice this a lot too during the personal story.

This is the first thing that crossed my mind the moment I saw it.
Easy = the best gear money can buy and/or group
