Too bad you're on a different data centre because I would have loved to join you for e4s. It's a fun fight and I could need some more glamour from there.
Maybe your DC has a CWL for previous tier? Mine has and though it doesn't have many people in it, it's enough to form a party or fill 1-2 slots via PF at worst. You may occasionally see some parties farming their ultimate gear with slots open and they are usually pretty friendly and take people who haven't cleared it along.
