Quote:I think right now the game is a little top-heavy. Most people are still focusing on the Outlands and max-level stuff, and on PvE, due to the huge amount of content in the expansion and since then. This is not necessarily a bad thing in my book, but I'm sure the lower-level areas are much less traveled as a result. At least you won't have to fight over spawns as much. B)
True, and I'd obviously rather not see the kind of overcrowding from beta. However, I think this crosses the line into "Deserted." Westfall only has a few soloers, and three or four people grouping for VC. The harder quests in Darkshore do encourege grouping, and the zone is fairly popular. Duskwood has a healthy population. Redridge, Ashenvale, and Loch Modan, OTOH, are deserted.
In general, unless it's Deadmines, it seems that the only way to find a group for an instance, is to:
Meeet someone doing a quest somewhere that you are on.
Do the quest together.
Suggest that we do an instance run.
Hope that someone on yours, or theirs friends list is on, to get a group of 4 going - finding the fifth is easy at that point.
This is of course, from an unguilded perspective.
