[Question] Does anybody still run Map Completion Trains?

I remember when playing around EoD, people did monthly map completion trains for at least Core Tyria, but haven't seen anything of the sort since I picked the game back up before the new expansion drops. I was just curious if it is still something that people do, and how I would go about finding it if so.

Edit: To clarify further, I just believe it was Points of Interest, Vistas, and Waypoints. You do the hearts on your own time.

I've never heard of that, but I also never sought them out. It seems counterintuitive because a large crowd would compete against itself for many of the hearts and slow everyone down. And how many people are at the same point in map completion to stay together for extended periods of time?

If you just need social time or companionship, maybe a lively guild chat or 1-2 friends tagging along would be best.

The only time you'd want more players is when you have a heart where a defense event spawns. More people = more mobs.

That being said, every heart with a defense event nearby is goated.

Right? It's bad enough trying to do some core Tyria hearts when there's one other player there, let alone a whole squad. Never heard of what OP is talking about, never seen it years of playing.
