1) End of patch downtime
2) Stir because of 4.5/5.0 announcements
3) New games, holiday season, lots of folks busy
4) Could just be bad timing: nobody wants what's on WT bc they have the tome gear or raid drops and there's new crafting gear dropping in 4.5
5) Our FC has been more active than ever, meaning we don't PF anything because we've got 4/8/12/24 people to to whatever we want. Others could be in the same boat.
6) More people using DF: we took some newbies through Omega last night (all 3 sets) and we never waited more than like 6m for a pop.
