Guild Wars 2

I had to leave the game for personal reasons for 8 months (sucks, I know). Before I left my server (Fort Aspenwood) had people all over Orr grinding events all day and all night. Now I can’t even claim a temple anymore let alone grind any of the group events in orr since there are only 10 of us at max even during prime time.
I tried guesting some other high pop servers to see if I should server transfer, but so far no one grinds these events anymore. The only people in orr are the gatherers or solo players it seems. Does ANet see this?
Not sure how to grind for my legendary now unfortunately. My friends I use to play with have told me no one messes with Orr anymore and most of the time people just buy their legendary off the TP. Is this the best route now?
Any thoughts/ideas of what I should do to finish my legendary?

ppl is farming cof1 the lasts days before the nerf. Wait to this tuesday and you will see zergs of ppl farming around all events with champions.

One can only hope. I guess I didn’t read where it said they were nerfing the gold from CoF1. I thought they were just making it more rewarding to do other exp paths. But I’m still kinda fresh from coming back.

Yeah, personally I think people started leaving in droves from Orr when a few of the constant events were nerfed. CoF p1 went into full effect for many just after AC was redone. CoF was done before then, but AC (and Orr for open world) was the alternative.

Alternatives just revealed themselves after the nerf. Hoepfully the upcoming fixes will bring more players to many areas that have low pops at any given time. Especially once skins are created per area (if I read the notes correctly). I think players who traverse the open world now are just spread out now to all areas and not funneled into one. I myself once liked Orr, but simply don’t go there because I like other areas better and don’t have to be in Orr to get what I want.
