Guild Wars 2

It appears to me, that many regions in PvE are widely abandoned unless there is a living story (which people farm into overflow), high tier dungeon (another farm), or WvW rewarding coop pve.

mid-high level PvE (excluding organized dungeons/Living story events/dungeon events) is starting to turn out to be something like GW1, which is that if you don’t have a group, you’re pretty much dead with any mistakes. And to be very frank, its simply not possible to timely solo a High Priest of Melandru (considering that hulking piece of flesh summons champion gorillas) and kd/cripples you to hell.

So how do we get the PvE more filled?

It is simple, better rewards.

Dungeons are being farmed because rewards are better.
World bosses are being farmed because rewards are better.
Champions are being farmed because rewards are better.

Good question. A consequence of temporary bimonthly content the way they’ve organized it, is essentially it shuttles everyone into specific areas of the world leaving the rest more or less empty. I know a guy that has been trying to work on his map completions but can’t get several locations around the world because the DEs there have taken over much the same way DEs took over large sections of RIFT’s world. No one’s doing them and the champions prevent people from getting locations and such. Today I was in Wayfarer Foothills, one of the most continuously populated zones in the game and there was no one.
