Guild Wars 2

Some players like playing in less populated maps (while they still can before being automatically kicked from them) whereas other players like playing in heavily populated maps (which is encouraged with the Volunteer’s Blessing system).

Therefore, since it is encouraged, anyway, that players play in maps that are more populated, why not give us the option to display ‘Map Instance Population’ at the top on the right-hand side so we are not forced to walk around an entire map just to see if that map is populated or not?

For example, throughout this Halloween event, I am finding it very frustrating that I can never find a populated Labyrinth map, notably because a zerg is required for killing the Lich for the ‘Death to the Undying’ achievement.

Thank you for looking into this.

It’s actually easier to solo the Lich because zergs are full of kitten y people who don’t understand the boss mechanics and end up wiping, thus destroying the zerg.

Zergs operate on a “Press 1 to win” philosophy. Lich is not one such encounter.

Say what? Solo Lich? Maybe on a Mesmer (so it is rumored I have yet to see), but I do not play Mesmer nor do I like their play style, anyway.

With that being said, you are right about most zergs, yet not all zergs are like that if/when you get a competent one.

Anyway, we are going a little off topic here. This thread is about the Map Instance Population Option, not how tough or not tough it is to defeat Lich, and so I am only looking for feedback on that feature my OP talks about to see what everyone else thinks.
