The most daring puller will go up to broodling but they'll never move to CE/safehall. Won't complain being a chanter but that boggles my mind. I can understand people not wanting to deal with the absolute fuckery that is charasis but there is no reason for sebilis early camps being empty. Much less spending your entire 50s in LCY, that's just straight up dumb.
It makes sense if you think about where we are in the server's life. The majority of players are leveling up their 5th alt or whatever. They have gear, they have plat. They'd much rather sit semi AFK in a group while one person does all the work chain pulling mobs for them. They don't need to go anywhere else, they don't need to advocate for grouping at camps for certain drops. They can buy whatever they need, or they otherwise don't really need anything other than BIS raid gear at this point.

So for them, doing anything that adds additional risk to the EXP flow that they need has no value.

Separately, to address all the comments about "this item was big on classic" etc., we also have to remember that someone's experience in Classic is going to vary depending on what server and guild they were in. While info had started flowing online a bit, you were still going to see differences based on server/player knowledge back in the day.
