Castrum Lacus Litore declining participation

[technole]

Tried to do castrum yesterday and we had to beg for people in /shout chat to get a 2 digit number and even then were were not enough to do it.

I actually went back to Bozja the other day for the first time since the patch to see how things were. Less CEs up north because of less activity, CEs much slower, more death. It's no wonder people don't want to do it anymore. Still think the coins dropping from everything non-castrum is a huge detriment.

It'll bust at the seems again in 5.45 when they likely will go beyond level 15 and add the next raid, along with savage. Having savage is good because that means end-gamers want to do the content as well, aside from the relic being tied this go around. Although I wonder how popular the next relic stages will be this go around for raiders since they finally caught up on Eden Promise i535 weapons having Crit on every weapon.
