I think many people love ANet for adding a meta event, concluding in an event that rewards people with a chest in Southsun Cove. Many people though it was exactly what the island needed, but not there is a new issue facing: No one is capturing camps.

The queen can spawn aprox. every hour. I took a look at gw2stuff.com to see how long ago the queen got killed some European servers.
For my own server, Gandara: A bit more than 24 hours
Ring of Fire: more than 95 hours
Baruch Bay: 21 hours
Gunnar’s Hold: 18 hours

Is this because the spawning chance is low? I don’t think so, people just became too lazy to capture the camps, and only want to do the rewarding bit, the queen herself. I have no idea why there is so much laziness, I mean, you get a bonus chest rewarding 2 rares or better, isn’t it worth then to kill a few Karka to help unlocking the event? Or is the GW2 community really made out of leachers who wants a reward for everything they do?

Think you just answered your own question. Though keep in mind that Dragon Bash hasn’t helped, most people are getting achievements and grinding skins/pets elsewhere now.

The entire meta-chain was created for a section of the playerbase that doesn’t exist.

If somebody is going to take the time to form a party then they are going to do a dungeon or a fractal, nobody does open world content in a group.

It’s the part where you have to secure all four bases within a relatively short time. For some reason, the bases do not scale down with less people in the zone or particular area.

Plus, there’s the Dragon thing going on too, so not as many people are in the zone. And with the removal of the buff MF/gold NPCs, a lot of people aren’t bothering with the zone anymore (again).

I wouldn’t say nobody. My guild does open world content in groups.
