re: crowding

My highest level character is level 40, but I still think that most of
the crowding problems that I have are due to a lack of things for high
level people to do. When they have too little to do, a lot of them end
up bailing out of Guk, etc., and choose to do "interesting" things.
One example of an "interesting" thing that someone chose to do this
weekend: a level 30ish player was in Blackburrow apparently trying to
see how many MOBs he could kill in as little time as possible. The
difference between Blackburrow with 20 players of an appropriate level,
and Blackburrow with 20 players of an appropriate level and one level 30
killing everything in sight is vast. At another point in the weekend,
a level 25 or so was helping three level 6-8s power level. They sure
were cranking through all the gnolls, and I mean ALL the gnolls. Same
problem. I'm sure it was amusing for these guys, but it really sucked
for the rest of us.

Also, Naeeldar makes the point that there are less crowded zones to hunt
in. That's fine for binding classes, but who wants to have to cross six
zones to retrieve a body?
