I think there is an unfortunate cycle of "raid scene requires 500 toons camped everywhere" + "kunark out for years" -> huge demand for alts. This is satisfied by the Bard/Chardok AOE factory which pumps out hundreds of toons who then need epic MQs because people don't want to legitimately start from scratch again.
Solution: nerf AOE spells to give a chance to LD if they land on more than 30-40 mobs. Fix the raid scene to rely less on camped toons. Require L50 for epics. Fix sneak pulling. Get Velious out even if it's buggy. The people that care about server firsts here need to be taken out and beaten with a hose: it's not a server first when you can read the guidebook telling you exactly what to do. And then release a new server which isn't going to be overfarmed by Chardok AE/invis pull exploits/etc.
