Part of the problem is that at this point in the server's life there are much higher numbers of people playing two, three, or even more alts to max level while they wait for the expansion.
Reputations matter here, but only on your main. People playing alts tend to quit groups faster, not be as interested in socializing, and generally do things that on your main you would not do so quickly.
I try to resist the urge as much as possible, but when I'm playing an alt and the group stinks and most of the group is made up of alts...there is a very strong temptation to just /q of say without warning "i gotta go now, sorry"---I would never do that on my main while I was leveling up, nor did I do that on live. On live, however, my only alt wasn't even level 20 by the time the first expansion came out. On P99, I have 2 well geared 50s, an almost naked 50, and 4 30+ chars. I would also say that I am behind the average curve compared to most players in alts, and certainly behind in terms of gear.
