Rathe Mountains Giants - bugged or needed?

[RaldoMcdaldo]

I just took my mage to the Rathe Mountains for some good ol giant killing like the good ol days and I found 2 guys in there camping a giant spawn and almost no giants anywhere.The true classic version had the Rathe Mountains crawling with giants and players almost all the time and it was a blast! There was good exp. and good pp to be had, as it was one of the best mid level spots in the game. Now it's a shadow of it's former self and seems like another ghost town zone; a giant place without much going on. Is that intended? - or is it a bug? If it's intended it's a shame from my point of view - for it was one of my very favorite spots in all of my EQ experience early on and is not at all what the classic game rendered.
