Right now, no one uses a pickup group for anything, so the only thing left to do in game is solo (which is boring), or camp the battle warden every half hour. This is giving me flashbacks to Dragon's Aery, and is in no way whatsoever fun, and isn't rewarding enough for the frustration of missing out on some of them. Instance it, scale it back up, allow pre-formed parties to have their own instance, anything. Right now, it's terrible.

I get the feeling people only do behest because it's the most efficient grind exp other than levequests. Make regular grinding more rewarding and/or fun, and I bet people would actually use pickup groups.
