How about making the areas of the Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood available as Explorable Areas? Pretty much all the other missions in Factions have their own explorable so why not these PvP ones. It would make mapping easier, because as it stand now it's almost impossible to get into Quarry without coming to these forums and finding a date.Also, not that much would have to be added as they already have the skins and stuff. Just put enemy Luxons if you enter from Kurzick side and vice-versa. I can't see any downsides with this but correct me if i'm wrong.

They don't have explorable areas because they are challenge missions. None of the challenge missions in Cantha or Elona have explorable areas.

True, but you can just grab hero and/or henchies and go explore them easily.

At Quarry and aspendwood you can't do that.

Aspenwood and Quarry are competitive missions not challenge.

/signed as exploring them in their current condition for the map title is impossible.

Um, no it isn't. Exploring Jade Quarry just makes it easier. However, there is something more like 102% that can be uncovered, and I doubt that Jade Quarry even makes up for 1%.

Jade Quarry comprises 0.5-0.6% of the map. There is certainly enough leeway to get GMC without entering there at all. And Aspenwood has enough people to be able to enter quite often.

I'm not opposed to making explorable areas for them. But it's not strictly necessary for exploring.

I'm not 100% sure on this surgestion.
I had been thinking about it once I got my GMC, mainly because I did not have the starters area in Shing Jea.
JQ and/or the starter area make getting the title a lot easer.

The times I was in JQ, there were only a few players and when we got in, there were 14 people exploring and perhaps 2 (Sins most of the time) fighting.

I surgest making the area a little more attractive to players, so teams are composed more frequent. Exploring and fighting can be done together

Also, don't know if it's technical possible or could cause performance issues, remove all districts and use only international districts. This would also cause faster team creation.
