I've not been there yet, but I've heard people say, don't go to the
bottom, it's a deathtrap, easier to stay at the top and camp respawns
there, apparently. I can believe it, I had a look from above one day
and it looked crazy!

My painful experiences have been in Nagrand, exploring that mainly
elite area - beware by the mushroomy coastal bits, there's some
enormous packs of Warsong wolfrider types, if they spot you, you're
dead... :-(

Did it again today, much better. I went into the group finder, and
joined the largest group for the area I could find. This time I
didn't get separated from the main group, and finished the event
in about 20 minutes. 

That seems a good way to do it. The group had a continuous
stream of people joining, finishing, and leaving.

Sounds good, I may try that soon, although I'm sticking with the solo
ones at present since my bf is actually active in the game at present
so we do them together - how long this will last is debatable, he gets
bored easily so I give it a week max before he's off levelling another
alt and I'm back to soloing for a bit ;-)

Has anyone here managed to make a garrison invasion appear yet?
Apparently they come from killing enough mobs to annoy a faction who
then invade you, well we had the Bloodmaul ogres for the daily today,
and I was farming them for some time the last 2-3 days even before
that (convenient and fairly quiet farming spot for me), they've still
not got that angry with me yet though :-( Probably I haven't grinded
enough yet, but frankly, I'm getting bored of them so don't really
want to farm for more than an hour at a time!

Aphexis shards are the new VPs - you can buy good armor with them. I 
expect to be farming them for quite a while.

Happened to me the first or second day of my garrison, not since.

There is one automatic between lvl 1 and 2 but haven't seen any others.

Glad it's not just me! Yep, had the levelling one, but none at 100
still, seems by my reading that I might've misunderstood a bit, and
should be grinding mobs from the active daily areas instead of any
area which can have a daily, ok, still no luck as yet though! That
said it was Mok'Gol today and that place is impossible to grind - way
too many players, way too few mobs, took forever to do the daily and I
really just wanted out by the time it ended lol, no grinding that for
me!
