Orr seems to be very solo unfriendly. PUGing is possible, but VERY time consuming and can quite often fail.

So why not play through Orr like a raid?

I would think that a 20+ man organized group should be able to tackle this content, especially with team builds.

Has anyone tried this?

Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc

These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”

You need to pay 100g in order to form a raid group and from what i have seen it’s mainly WvW guilds that got it.

Getting 20 people together is easier said than done, especially in Orr.

All you need is communication actually,you can go on map chat and try to gather as much people ,make different party’s and raid orr,no 100g needed.

That’s what I was trying to communicate (if poorly XD)

with the grouping system as it is, there’s nothing preventing people from joining a ventrilo or mumble server and getting 20 people to play through Orr like traditional raiding content. And this game requires so much investment into the combat, using the map chat or a team chat would most likely wind up killing you.

And I would like to say that Orr IS soloable…albeit sometimes debilitatingly difficult from both a skill and cash stand point.

However, I really think that with an organized group of 20 would make this area alot more tolerable…maybe even fun! (except maybe Malchor’s Leap)

Or maybe they can tone down the respawn rates a tad bit.
