Personally I dont think Anet will ever change this but I want to give it a try at least so here I go...

With the release of Nightfall and all upcoming chapters the population in those 2 areas will decrease even more and well i think this needs a fix now.

I've been idling in jade quarry both kurzick and luxon side each for almost 24 hours now and havent gotten into the mission once during the time I was awake and watching it. The problem is that there is no playerbase thatll enter the mission at least not at once and at least not on the euro servers.

I'm currently at 99.7% of cantha and judging from the maps here on guru I'll find my last 0.3% in the Jade Quarry.

I'm well aware that the mission itsself is quite pointless and that causes people not to go there but there should be a way to enter the area just to unmap it since there is no way of reaching 100% if you cant enter JQ and FA.

So my suggestion is that there should be a NPC that allows people to enter the clear area or make it a simple explorable area with monsters in it. Option number one would obviously be easier and both for implementation and players.

I'm not asking for a free title here but rather for a way to actually reach it so please Anet fix this asap.

In my alliance we found a way.

16 of us wnt there and joined the game.
The result? We all explored the place and got some free faction for our side.
The ones in the other side let the game lose.

Many people do this sometimes, so those missions are getting not only useless, but also a way to get free and easy faction points.

Letting in Heroes should be anough to keep this away from happening.

Even though not many alliances will be able to do something like that (due to the terretory differences of members) I think the hero idea is really nice as it would allow a lot of people to enter and unmap.

Yep, they could make it like this:

- X people hit 'Start' with 1-3 heroes in the party.
- Counter starts.
- The game gather players within that time.

If enoguh Human players are found:
- The game starts with them.

If not enoguh humans players are found:
- The game takes 8 human and 8 heroes (4 humans with 1 hero each side),
- or 4 human and 12 heroes (2 human with 3 heroes in each side).

The heroes in the first slot would be taken first, the last would be left out if there are enough human players.

/signed on adding an NPC to allow you to explore the area without fighting.

I posted about this ages ago, when the population in factions was higher and it was hard enough then to get a party into there.

Now with nightfall and most locations being empty, I can imagine no one ever plays it.

I can totally relate, due to when I was exploring cantha and needed the jade query for my last few %.

Not letting people explore it, is just punishing those who dont like PvP and like exploring, especially since it never gets used.

Did you delete that leaching comment by another poster and then delete my responce to them?
