Of the competitive missions with Faction rewards, Jade Quarry is always a ghost town. And I am curious why no one ever plays there. Sure, the faction reward for winning is only 300, but I think it's one of the most enjoyable missions to do.

Over the weekend I played 3 missions in Jade Quarry, and that was a record. When I told everyone over Guild chat, I get a response of 'Wow, the WHOLE missions?'

Maybe ANET should increase the reward to 500 faction, then maybe more people would play.

The concept is similar but not the same as AB so they rather play in AB than the Quarry.

Unlike the Fort, it's different than AB so people are flocking in the Fort nowadays especially after the nerfing of the Duel and Supply Line quests for both sides.

Was only able to play it three times max, and yes it was fun, but only getting 300 Faction a win(last time I checked) is not enticing anyone. Continous "No opposing party joined. Restarting countdown timer" messages also aren't encouraging when you could just do Fort Aspenwood and get more faction for losing.

MORE faction for losing? i thought that it was 600 for winning and 300 for losing.

well, for the luxons anyway. i haven't gotten into Jade Quarry yet, but i'd really like to. Aspenwood is fun, but it's kind of ridiculous already. playing as an assasin isn't that fun either, since their ability to stand alone isn't that great.

Compared to winning at Jade Quarry, I mean. =/

Winning at Jade Quarry gets you 300 Faction!! ...Whereas losing at Fort Aspenwood gets you 400 Faction(usually), and 600 for winning. Of course, Jade Quarry is arguably faster, but the wait, if you can even get in, isn't.

I wonder how much you get when you lose at the Jade Quarry...

I've never seen enough people there to form a group, so I don't even know what it's like. I think they have to change something to entice people to go there. Either that, or get rid of it.
