The entire point of these world quests is that they’re meant to be a complete free for all. Nobody is on your side at all, not even your own faction. So why are people allowed to party up and camp the world quest forever? There’s no chance of fighting back, you’re just gonna get 1 shot by the dorks camping it and stacking arcane buffs. You can’t party up with nearby players to work together against them because they may not even be the same faction as you.
Either force these party members to fight each other/receive friendly fire, or don’t allow people to go into these areas when they’re in a party.

Fight fire with fire. Hit up Group Finder and you can usually get a party going in under 30 seconds. Wipe them up, do your objectives and then leave.

…So PVP Healers get to be excluded from completing these quests? No thanks. Take your hot take with you when you leave.

Cobalt Assembly is not a FFA PvP area, judging from the mention of arcane buffs, only the small arena is.
Once one person gets big, party status doesn’t matter becausea one shot is a one shot. Though generally some of the FFA PvP zones require you to be in a party (the WPvP elite kill WQs) would be made even more difficult if you hurt your allies.
Even in a group you cant fight back because these guys will have the divine shield buff that lasts for 5 minutes. Cobalt Assembly is garbage.
The divine shield buff is actually the worst buff to get because you would not be able to refresh any of your other powers and will become weak and tiny again after the 5 minutes are up.
Idk man, got ran down by groups of alliance using this buff. They seemed to be fine instantly killing me while immune to all forms of cc and damage for the 4 hours it took me to get my ring.
I developed a routine to always win there, regardless of Alliance opposition.
Run laps around the FFA PvP ring, getting 6 powers a minute. Prioritize Double powers, Max HP (Has 25 stack cap), Leech, crit (to 100%), and mastery. 4 small stacks and 2 enlarge stacks are also good. After 10 minutes of uncontested power gains, walk ovef to the farming area and play God.
I just went into a Free-For-All area with a small guild group this afternoon and, while we did wreck some people for teh lulz, we also got slapped with a Bounty debuff. So people ganged up on us pretty quick for the loot.
I’d say it balances itself out nicely.
