I really hate all the awful RP nightclubs that people spam shout and the party finder too but this doesn't really have too much to do with "no content" or "people want to socialize more than doing content" but rather the fact that DC travel has had an adverse effect on Data Centers across the game. DC travel has essentially killed the Crystal PF raiding scene and has done the same to the Primal raiding scene at a lesser but still apparent rate.
As someone whose main is on Balmung and all of my friends are on Balmung/Crystal, it REALLY REALLY sucks that I have to go to Aether if I want to PF anything. I'd hope they eventually find a way to do cross DC PF, but I'm not holding my breath.

Oh also the tier is 6 months old and most people are doing Ultimate rather than still trying to do Savage, and the Manderville weapons are better than the Rubicante EX weapons so there's no reason to farm that anymore other than for the mount or glams.
