In my opinion, it makes no sense that Slaver's Exile should be a dungeon. At least if it was a dungeon (which it isn't), there should be an Outpost directly beside it.
This defeats the entire community mentality. You can't go to Slaver's to search for a party for the dungeons. You have to go to Umbral Grotto, where _lots_ of people are for different reasons, and then _run_ your way to the dungeon (outpost?), only to then enter to the sub-quest (dungeon?) you want.
Make Slaver's Exile an outpost!

PETITION: Make Slaver's Exile an Outpost

Hmm... how about we do that for every other dungeon in the game as well, since they're hard to reach just like this dungeon is? It's not that hard to go to Umbral and tack on "Party for Slavers' Exile" in the party window, you know. While I understand the whole "but it's the elite dungeon!" mentality, there's really no point- if you can't survive for 15 minutes getting there, you really have no business going there in the first place.
Well, I do like the idea of there being closer outposts. It's not really fun getting to the dungeons themselves. I mean, do you find it fun, not whether or not you mind it, but do you genuinely have fun having to go through a zone every time you want to do a dungeon? I don't and it would have been nice to have them closer to outposts.

Sure it's not hard to say that, but that doesn't amount to anything. You'll never actually find a party for Slaver's in Umbral or Olaf. The players there are not there for the purpose of doing Slaver's.
It's not a matter of "survival" to the dungeons.
And indeed having to grind one's way to the Dungeons every time by killing trivial mobs is not fun and has no point for any Dungeon. But that is a secondary issue to the one listed in the OP.
The primary issue is that Slaver's most of all must be given an outpost, because without the outpost for it, it is impossible to find a party for it.

I'm beginning to think you have some personal vendetta toward me, anything I say I've got you jumping down my throat without ever actually giving any thought to what I say. Please, tell me that every time you want to do Slaver's Exile you're going to be loving every minute of having to wade through Verdant Cascades so that I can be wrong here.
This has nothing to do with "surviving through the first area". I ran there myself the first time with a necro using two skills on an otherwise empty skill bar because I thought it would be faster, and that wasn't a problem.
No, what this is about is that Exile is a hub from where you access different dungeons. It's the ideal meeting place for said dungeons. Except you can't meet anyone there, because it isn't an outpost.
Oh, and...

The I find the whole running to dungeons thing pretty annoying. This can discourage teaming with others....when you got a party of 8, it's pretty likely that someone may have forget a skill/item/etcetc...then the only choice is to zone back and do another run to the dungeon because someone forgot something.

Sorrow's Furnace can in practice only be accessed from Deldrimor War Camp. To get there, you go through Grenth's Footprint, where DWC is located. This is also where you pick up the quests for Sorrow's Furnace, and this area is thus tied into Sorrow's in a meaningful way.
Exile will usually be accessed from Umbral Grotto. This places has nothing to do with Exile, and Cascades does not either. Umbral Grotto is directly tied to another dungeon (Vloxen Excavations) and several other quests.
Go on girl, post "more stuff".

You should actually try posting a good reason to not add outposts at dungeons. |
I can see anet making it an oupost and then seeing 50 million topics complaining about bots.
See people may want something, but that doesnt mean that once they get it it will be all good or without its own problems
