Question fort aspenwood vs. jade quarry

why dont the luxons ever go to jade quarry?
I myself am a luxon and am in a kurzick guild so i get both sides of the argument kinda like im some middleman or something
but i have been to jade quarry numourus times and i never see ppl in the luxon side of jade quarry ive been to both sides and there are kurzick ppl tring it all the time and calling us sissys for not showing in the one fight that they have some advantage in(its roumored) and i was just wondering why dont we ever try to best them at jade quarry? we dominate them at aspenwood why not get them where it herts, the place where they should be winning?

In the Jade Quarry, the winning team recieves only 300 faction points. I believe that many people feel this is too low a reward for the time put into the event. Whether it's liked or not, I don't know. I personally would not enter it, as it's a random 8v8, and random teams are very hard to play successfully with.

Fort Aspenwood is random 8v8 as well. And yet there is some great matches there with plenty of teamwork on both sides.

So your statement isn't completely true, but there is truth in it.

The Quarry is suffering from a vicious cycle of it being less rewarding and less active, which is making it still-more-inactive.

I described this issue and a potential solution in this thread.

fort aspenwood is a large pvp area with 8v8 random and you have to invade the kurzick area (luxon side) or fend off the luxons(kurzick side) to win faction
to do this for the luxon side you have to use the small army u get and completely crush the kurzick archtecht before the i think its called vengence of the gods or something like that gets full
for the kurzick side you have to pilfer the raw amber mines to rebuild the broken walls that the luxons heve knocked down and fend them off for like i think 10 or 12 mins and make sure the archetecht survives but hes like master togo and mhenlo and dies a like a pansy
so in turn the luxons have the advantage and normally win

Looks like it's going to be hard for anyone to get 100% of Cantha explored without The Jade Quarry.

Ugh.. It's pretty much impossible to get into this mission.

I think we need to organize a get together sometime, perhaps this weekend.

Faction, Balance issues, ect. all play their part in it. Most people don't know that if the Kurzicks try to fight toe to toe with the luxon team they will most likely lose unless the Luxons really suck or the kurzicks are really good. So as a result people don't run amber and the Luxons just make their way through the gates.

The key to winning on the kurzick side is to simply run as much amber as possible. If the luxons are too busy knocking down gates and retaking mines it is hard to kill gunther. Not to mention they have to travel a longer distance in order to get back to the front gates because their Rez shrines are capped.
