Frankly I have never enjoyed any of the *Elite Areas* as when I played before you were depending on HoH to get you permission to throw away a k every entry just to get smashed in the front of UW. And I was so pissed off at being forced to beg for entry to other areas cotnrolled by factions I quit playing completely for about 9 months. So far not impressed with any of them. They have never been worth the effort and at the moment I see no reason to ever try to play them.

People always stray toward the easier things in this game.

I see the cycle going like this.

1. Release of GWEN. People start moving to the GWEN dungeons. Places like the Ooze pit become popular hero/hench places for the above average player.

2. GWEN becomes in the norm. While the prices have gone down on the rares, people are still going to the GWEN dungeons because instead of worrying about 8-12 different people who you don't know the skill level of, you can now worry about that with 2 people and 6 customizable heros.

3. GWEN dungeons become the majority. (We are now in this stage) People go toward the dungeons a lot more, and ignore the other elite areas in the game. UW/FoW/Urgoz/The Deep/DoA. This is agian over shadowed by the lack of reliance of PuGs, which everyone likes, and thus the other areas are abandoned.

4. The Scales of Supply and Demand start to Tip. Things that were once over farmed become more in demands. Zodiacs and such, which do not drop in GWEN, but only in Canthan elite missions. Those prices will hike back up a little, and people will start going back to the dungeons outside GWEN. (This could be debatable, being that some new skins could over shadow the zodiacs and bump them down a few notches, but we don't know this yet.)

5. Stabalization. People start going back to Urgoz, the Deep, and DoA because those skins are no longer over farmed, and now we have a nice mix of GWEN dungeons, DoA, Urgoz, and the Deep, and thus things go back to normal.

This is what I predict to happen, not saying that it WILL happen, but It's the most likely to happen in my eyes. Again, it's not set in stone and it's very debatable, but as for the elite areas being ignored, I have faith that people will come back.

The fact that the Torment weapons can't be displayed on the monument, and Destroyer weapons can, might have something to do with it.

If i could display Torment weapons on my monument, i would be there all day at DoA. But it sort of seems a slap in the face when you can't display Torment weapons.

(Hope Anet changes that in days to come)

who wants to waste their time on domain of anguish? its one of the most boring and stupid area in the whole game.

I hate doa because its all about experience, but most of the people who play it dont have any slight notion of what experience is and use pre-made builds, wich is far behind my personal level.
Im one of those people who play as an assassin at Urgoz/The Deep at HardMode so i know what im talking about, if you dont know how is it like, dont bother

For those who want an area that you can't really C + Space through with much success. It's far from boring, it's no longer stupid (NM at least), it's that people use these ridiculously boring builds because they don't know how what they're doing.
