Yep fast respawning is annoying as fuck. Ideally it should scale with player count in the area.
I was in a 40 zone yesterday doing a kill boss type quest, he was at the end of a pier and it eas a perfect illustration of how fucked the spawn rate is. Finely tuned I should be able to clear the pier and boss and then leave without fighting anything on exit. With the current rate the fucking trash mobs I just killed standing beside the boss are respawning while I’m fighting the boss.

I wonder if they have the ability to tweak dynamic spawns based on area player density

I personally enjoy the inherent danger of fighting fast respawn mobs at appropriate level range but it could be indeed be toned down a bit. I also wouldn't mind something notifying you if it's a "group" elite (doable by 2-3 competent players) or 3 person (1 competent player) needed.

That elite bear grin/gren or whatever its name is for example if anyone has run across that yet. I started fighting it solo when I was one level below it and after it whomped me for half my health in one hit I decide to kite it around w/ bow. I would have run out of 1k arrows before getting it to half health if other people didn't show up to damage it. It's basically a baby raid boss. Other random elites in same level range I just steamroll.

So, some pro tips.

Crafting can very much help with leveling. Those that have problems with Azoth....purchase the resource gathering tools that have Azoth as a bonus.

The town missions can be done in multiple towns..... at the same time. I love the armor/weapon ones. You can actually craft them in any town. This helps for when you only have one main bank. The missions add up when you hit 4 towns.

Honestly the only problem I have with crafting is with resource conversion. I always run out of the sandpaper, Flux, Etc..... I wish there was an easy way to farm that like resources.

Just buy them. I keep buy orders up in the 5k+ count for coarse sandpaper almost 24/7 amongst a bunch of other shit. People finally catching on but I got so many things for like 1/10 the normal selling price. Even paying a bit more now I scalp anywhere between 2-10g per item just from buying on trade -> refining -> selling back on trade. It's pretty much my go to money maker now. Pulled in almost 70kg this week.

I don't understand people that say this. I've kept my crafting skills up, and I have unlimited reagants for refining. I have so many I can't store them in my main 2 banks and have started offloading them everywhere. Do you people not loot every supply stash you see? I do and I have so many I've begun selling them simply because my sheds don't have enough weight. I don't know what easier method you want to farm them when there are a dozen spots in every zone with 1 hour respawn supply stashes that drop 20 each.

Even the doing the COV Templar quest in Brightwood, which is still almost completely dead, I kill in the inquisitor, heal myself, and before I can get to his chest to loot it, in less 30 sec total after clearing everyone, the entire area has respawned. I basically have to do the whole quest again to get the chest and then run for my life. The same thing on another quest in BW. The whole world is on a stupid timer based, it seems, on the population of the 4 starter zones.

Yeah that place is a bitch, there's a few like that. It makes 0 sense why some named quest mobs have a 10 min respawn and others 10 seconds.
