Contested Waypoints
Contested means there is an event going on there and therefore it is not safe to travel there. The only way to make it uncontested is to participate in the event (so walk there). If the dynamic event fails, another event will start right away to undo the failure. in general those events are made so easy that you can’t fail (the npc’s can do it by themself).
So far how it should work. There are however some bugged events. In those situations the waypoint is still contested even though the event finished or got stuck. These situations are usual resolved when the server restarts (due to an update). Some waypoints are getting bugged very easy however and therefor are contested almost always.

maybe its bugged. i logged out when the event was in progress. i had to because there was something that i need to do. when i came back, still contested.
Well, there is two reasons why that could happen: You returned fast enough, so the event was still going on or a new event had started there.
Contested waypoints are just SO annoying.
I hate the one with the giant… Little to no reward for killing it.
