yeah seriously the only zone on the entire blue server where PUGs are possible is KC

and half the time, it's just 6 people, grouped in 3 duos, pulling mobs to zone in until they invariably get trained

You forgot to mention that the duos usually consist of ridiculously overpowered classes like shaman and enchanter, further diminishing your already slim chances of finding a group if you don't happen to be playing a powergamer class.

What's it like on Quarm? I got the EQ itch again but I'm not trying to come back to solo in empty zones that's lame

The way Quarm was sold to us originally sounded pretty awesome to me. Forced rotations plus open world quakes for a good compromise on loot value/scarcity with quakes for a little competition.

But then it got changed to instanced raiding. And that makes loot so plentiful that I don't think anyone cares about competing for open world, certainly not months into an expansion. That will also make the tunnel market more like a TLP, as everything you spend time farming loses value in proportion to how easy it is to get raid-geared. Also Secrets pulled the rug at the last second and decided to keep legacy items in the game permanently, and there's some abomination called Pinkicite armor.

That rug pull killed it for me, haven't logged into Quarm since. Would love a new P99 but not sure we'll ever get one.
