I guess all of us who have been playing MMOs for a while knew this was going to happen. In GW2, the only place that is ever visited regularly for grinding out world events is Queensdale, which is the human starting area in Kryta. The rest have been almost totally abandoned by the majority of the player base due to the fact that more people doing events means getting the leveling experience done faster.
