This is why normal people wont play this game, or leave shortly after starting. I've found that the majority, like 99% of the people that play Project 1999 are people who played back when they were young, and are trying to relive their youth, or people with no ability to pay for a subscription based game that play this in lieu of other free games. Normal people with responsibilities, even the ones who loved the game back then, skip it once they see the state of the game now. I think part of that is just the sheer difficulty of trying to get items, because money camps and raid items are consistently camped by the same guilds who are controlling the raid environment and economy. If you break that stranglehold then you allow everyone a piece of the pie, rather than the 3% of the server that can spend the time camping these locations.

The problem is the game isn't built for a population like this where everyone knows where the best stuff is and is capable of soloing it. There's plenty of camps in the game, but people only ever want to do the same 20 or 30 camps that have the best drops. Nobody's camping any of the loot in Dalnir or Runnyeye or Nurga or Paw or two dozen other dungeons because the loot distribution for the difficulty is crap.
If you really want the classic experience, stop crying about the couple dozen locked down cash camps and do some dungeon crawls in the empty zones with friends in cloth armor. That's way more fun than waiting for a rare drop on a 22 minute timer.
