Pah, Kaineng City is so underrated... I just love the athmosphere around there.

I used to really like pre-sear Ascalon, but last time I passed through it was infested with "stfu n00b" discussion and "hurf hurf I sux ure dick!" emoting.

Winner: Gadd's Encampment… a real tranquil hideout. Please make it a Guild Hall (or base one on it)! Also I have a soft spot for Yak's Bend…. That roaring camp fire and the 'special' feeling that you've finally got out of ruined Ascalon.
Losers: Gate of Torment - silly colours, and a mess to navigate and find all the quest NPC's. Close second, Kaineng Center because of layout and awful lag. And, can I be the first to say that I never liked Droknar's Forge? Fiddly layout and tendency to lose your bearings. Storage far from traders and lots annoying things snagging you on the way, making pathing difficult. Point about Vasburg Armory is well made already.
Some good points about the effect that ambient music has on your appreciation of an outpost. Vabbi music is easy on the ears, and the Echovald/Jade Sea music is also atmospheric.

I like the Jade Sea areas and most of Vabbi. As for prophecies I like the Maguuma jungle and Southern Shiverpeaks. My favourite part of GWEN was the Charr Homelands because it reminds me of Pre-searing Ascalon, another favourite on my list.

Like: Gunnars Hold and Boreal Station, nice and cosy I think with the fires and stuff.
Dislike:Sunspear Sanctuary, boring background and it's a main town, so why are all the NPCs outside of it, hate having to zone to command post for armour etc. and forgetting my materials/money in storage.

Gate of Pain is probably the worst RoT outpost. I mean, what's all the squidgy intestinal stuff about??? The explorable area for it is worst though, reminds me of someone's digestive tract.
I like Gate of Secrets though, like the mysterious feel to it.

Best, hmm. Magumma Stade, but lack NPCs make it useless. Lion's Arch, full NPCs good layout. Droknar's Forge, same reasons as LA +max armor. Denravi, cept STUPID vault location.
Worst, wow! rest?! NAH, grotto, slow down in town is dumb. Citadel, stupid storage location. VASBURG! WORST OUTPOST EVER!

Tyria
Best: Denravi. Big, naturey, some nice extra areas too like the lake and the stage.
Worst: Ember Light Camp. Dark, bad first impression of the RoF, ugly lava (of course this was when ANet wasn't as graphically skilled), murky water which is fitting yet not fitting.
Cantha
Best: House zu Heltzer. Dark and tranquil, also very nice and cozy since it's essentially a giant cathedral.
Worst: Kaineng Center. Nice design, but it's a pain having to climb a ten flights of stairs to reach a certain NPC. Just laggy from all the Z-axis positioning of DOOM! Though from a technical standpoint, I kind of like the Z-axis positioning of DOOM!
Elona
Best: Sunspear Great Hall for the architecture and company. Kodash Bazaar for the epic detail. Dajkah Inlet for a peaceful seaside area.
Worst: Gate of Pain. Should be named Gate of Colons. Very freakish stomach world, giant pulsating growths blocking my view, evil fluid sacs obstructing my attacks. So happy when you reach the non-intestinal part of the mission.
Eye of the North
Best: Longeye's Ledge. Nice overlook of the Charr homelands.
Worst: Central Transfer Chamber. All dark and ugly - despite being master architects, most of the Asuran structures aren't even square to the walls (yay for nerdy injokes). When I first heard about this outpost, I thought it'd be like this epic underground temple.

I dislike all those where spawn points, xunlai chest, merchant are in inconvenient and far places.
Ever get stuck behind Lonai while auto-running to the Xunlai Chest in Sunspear Sanctuary?
Gate of Torment's Xunlai and merchant location tops the dislike list.
I also dislike the three port cities for their crowd. Try to spend as little time there as possible.
I like the quiet out of the way towns, but don't spend enough time there.

Hate: I'd have to say Marhan's Grotto because of the slowdown and Granite Citadel because of the crappy Xunlai location.
Factions:
Love: Shing Jea Monastery. Again I love many outposts here, like Cavalon, that little upper-right outpost above Gyala, Marketplace...

My favorite region is Kryta, nothing in the game has surprised and made me happy as seeing Kryta after the desert of Ascalon and snow of the Shiverpeaks. So I guess my fav outposts would be Gates of Kryta and Bergen Hot Springs. I also like Denravi and Tarnished Haven. Other than outposts I guess my favorite location (or sight to be more precise) is the floating fortress west of Kessex Peak. The temples of Balth in The Falls and of Grenth on the Droks run are also very nice. Jade sea overall is also pretty (I like shiny objects). Another awesome sight is the dragon lighthouse on the west side of Penjiang Peninsula. Corsair vessels docked in hidden outlets in southern Lahtenda Bog is kinda atmospheric too.
The biggest dislike is the cardboard ... ahem ... Kaineng City.
EDIT:
Almost forgot about the great stone bridge in Riven Earth with floating stones around it. Awesome stuff

Dislike: Anything in Desolation or RoT. I hate RoT just cause of the disgusting feeling the scenery provokes. Kudos to the map-devs/designers for actually creating areas that really inspire feeling.
EotN:
Like: Hard to say, I like a lot of them. I'd probably go with Gadd's Encampent. It's actually kinda crowded, being a main quest point of the story, but it's environmental surroundings are so beautiful.
Dislike: I'd have to say Doomlore Shrine, just cause of the huge pool that I always have to walk around to get into Dalada Uplands.
Overall favorite: Fisherman's Haven. Can't go wrong with a secluded outpost in Prophecies. The environment looks were at their best in Prophecies.
Overall least-liked: Desolation/RoT outposts. I hated being there, and never want to go there again.
