I'm with Thieros on this one. Never understood people who do EXP groups in outdoor zones like Oasis and Overthere. Why would you do this when you can go to a dungeon and get better loot and better EXP? Not to mention, Kunark mobs have more HP than old world mobs, so it's doubly nonsensical for OT. You're basically choosing the worst possible zone to EXP in and then getting upset that people for whom that zone actually makes sense are using it.
Dungeons are great for standard groups: healer, tank, DPS, and CC. Outdoor zones are great for others: bards, quad kiters, fear kiters, and specialized duos. If people grouping EXPing in outdoor zones just went indoors, they'd benefit from more EXP, better loot, and less competition, whereas the people who actually need those zones for their methods of leveling would benefit from having them open. Win-win.

In my experience this has been because the group composition isn't ideal for a dungeon, but is fine for outside. Your group might be able to handle a bunch of single, safe pulls in an outdoor zone but if you are lacking someone to pull or CC efficiently, a dungeon could be more dangerous and a slower-pace.
The truth is people don't like competition when it doesn't work in their favor. If these groups were snagging all the mobs and bards could only manage to find 6 or 7 things for their AoE every 25 minutes...bards would be the ones whining about how unfair it is. You see the same griping when people PL in popular low-level dungeons. But roll into Unrest as a 60 druid and offer someone a 4-hour PL of every mob you can get, and watch them light up with joy. People are fickle, they just want things to go their way. I'm no different, when I sit down to group up with 5 other people I want some xp too. We all just gotta deal, and hope we can rise above our selfish instincts and work together.
