Neglected Outposts
To name a few:
Maguuma Stade
Camp Hojanu
Basalt Grotto
These and possibly some other outposts are hardly visited. Should anything be done so that some places and outposts in any of the Guild Wars games make it so it's worth traveling to?

As the game gets older, you'll see more and more outposts become ghost towns. Even the ones that have a purpose generally have very, very temporary visitors come in, get their quest reward, and leave. Heck, many MISSION towns are becoming like that.

I hardly see any activity in towns that are not big trading areas or major towns. Even then I don't alway see a ton of activity.

If anything, GW is just suffering from a bunch of people who've gotten what they want out of the PvE and are waiting for GW2. If you're worried about the game, like, dying, I'd not worry too much about it... it's bound to happen that players are going to wait for the "next" game rather than spend a lot of time on the "old" game.

I must play at different times from everyone else because (other than Urgoz) I see people everywhere. Granted teams now do usually have at least one hero in them.
If I wanted to pug through again I definately could

Please don't wave my Maguuma Stade around like that - it's a nice place to nap.

Camp what?
Who cares if they're empty? It's not exactly game breaking, you know?

Well, it can make it harder to find a group of people to play with, if you desperately need one.

the only place you may ever desperately need a group is in a mission and for most missions there's enough people at peak times.

the basalt grotto is mine....now LEAVE!
I find it nice to have a town that has NO LAG, especially during big festivals. I can get my characters there and not have to worry about rubberbanding and such since I am usually the only one there; no spam, no rude people doing things....just me and my npc friends.......so please let us be.

anet could put into them some NPC#s for more similar quests like for Black moa chick, but then for all those other uber insane rare minipets, like oni, naga, shiroken, kanaxai and so on ...
then have people really something interesting to WORK for those minipets in a humanous time span, and noth something that forces you to farm/grind/bot/gold buy for ages..., from which 2 ways are as you all know illegal ... but are the only 2 ways to reduce this ridiculous crazy grindage of ectos and platin to a normal amount of time ....
more quests at those outposts at all maybe some uniqu new npc sellers, like insignia and weapon upgrade sellers in those outposts...
then have people also a reason to visit those outposts and not to camp ever only at the 3 main towns ....
there are surely lots of possibilities to increase the interest of those outposts and to brign in more live into them.. but Anet imo doesn#t care about all this...all they care atm more about is GW2 ... let us just hope, that anet won't forget and ban GW1 out of their thoughts, once GW2 is out ...

Kodash Bazar is a large outpost that rarely has many people going about, besides the odd person looking for trade contracts. Shame too, because it's one of my favourite outposts.

Thanks Phoenix, for another hard to understand post. Most of those suggestions are only temporary fixes, and putting a ton of NPCs into every outpost will just make people spread out even more, making selling/buying harder.
There was an area where mursaat appeared and began killing everyone in the outpost. We need more things like that, possibly.
Anyway, what's the point of having every non-mission outpost lively? Really, what quest is so hard you need other people to help?
