Well they would move from one zone to two zones most likely, KC and Seb. Which is more classic Kunark behavior than everyone who wants group xp piling into the Hole for ten levels. And those zones are actually on Kunark.

The Hole is a great zone but the new ZEM is simply overkill to me. It trivializes the leveling experience and turns all of the 50+ leveling grind into a single zone game. Yes there will always be a most popular place, but previously there was at least a little spread with enough people xping in KC, Chardok, Seb that you could reliably hope to get a pick up group in those places. Many people won't be 60 by the time we get Velious and I could have imagined Velks becoming a pick up group spot like in the old days but not now with the Hole becoming the only place to level.
I don't see the issue with that though. The biggest reason Seb and HS aren't seeing more play is the soulbind keys. KC and Seb have also always sucked for actually leveling - their ZEMs have always sucked like Lower Guk and Sol B - they are loot zones.

Why is it so bad for the Hole to be the best exp? It has mostly bad loot drops but it's fantastic for exp because you can fit 10-12 groups in there without people stepping on each other's toes. If you nerf the Hole people will just go back to the next easiest non-Kunark option like Perma, Neriak Arena, etc. People will always gravitate towards the best combination of ZEM and Loot, no matter what you change them to.
