servers way more empty now? Still doing the linear gear climb?

you must be a new player, or you would never have made this statement

Im not at all, besides the fact that there is next to no one on, people are doing shouts for mega bosses and skirmish 2...and thats about it. DO you think they would let in a guy who only has bayld gear at their best? (because its what you can get done on your own or with a small group) Unlikely, they will want people who have the weapons and gear from the plasm stuff or higher (which you can not do on your own...and no one does it anymore)

Sorry I should have said that differently, what I meant to say was back at the 75 cap you had to have all kinds of prerequisite things done or you weren't getting into a decent endgame shell, (which of course left you out in the cold). You had to have sea and sky, all dynamis clears, you had to have completed the quest Shadows of the departed etc. or you couldn't join in their little reindeer games, the difference is now you have to have delve gear to actually get into delve, back then you just had to have access. I started a second char when they came out with WoTG, got it to 75 on brd and sam, and abandoned it because I couldn't get it the necessary clears to get into an endgame shell, simply because everyone had their clears and no one was helping or joining groups. I shouted for hours on end trying to get shit done, and then said meh, enough. So the times may have changed, but getting into stuff you wanna do for your char was as difficult then as now
