The reason is simple really, people gravitate towards things that gives more xp with less effort (myself included), well that is you can't afford a farm or don't trade farms or befriend a farmer ;p
i have a farmer, but i do it free for friends. unless someone wants to pay me 300 so i can buy an IO. :P
The Leagues are kind of dumb, until you are 50.
I do wish they would revamp some of the old zones, like the way they did faultline. Perez would be nice, but it would be nice if there was more content 30-40 for blueside. Thats when i always hit a wall in leveling my toons, seems like all the old blueside contacts don't hand out story arcs nearly as often as they should. I mean redside every contact gives an arc almost 99% of the time on the first mish they hand out.
Zones i think would be nice to revamp would be like boom town, perez, kings row (one of my favorite looking zones, just nearly no content there), founders, and bricks. Really wished these zones had more consistent contacts/story arcs like all the redside zones have. But i gues it really depends on the budget the devs are working with, would be nice though.
Mot should go on a rampage through the Hollows, Eden or Perez Park (Randomly chosen) everytime someone completes that final DA Arc!

I have to agree with this, from the late 20s til 35 blueside it seems very slow, mostly because everything is so samey. Even though we recently got First Ward for 20-30 content, it didn't actually last me that long when I played it.|

I've said before that I'd love to see the same sort of thing that goes on in Recluse's Victory, that is parts of the map changing dramatically due to player actions, put into play in a place like Boomtown. It might have to be slower paced, or utilize the phasing tech introducted recently, but I think it'd be pretty exciting to play through a few arcs and have the zone change based on your progress. Sure it'll be a bit awkward if you join a team in another phase and see your progress melt away, but it's one of those things we've come to accept.
And in addition to just having the zone update via mission arcs, there could be, depending on what stage you're in, semi-random events in the zone, with villain groups attacking your recently established beachheads and the like.
Sadly there's no equivalent redside area to do this with, unless we're going to let Arachnos start invading someplace...like say the ruins of Galaxy City?
The Hollows is a great place, and no one goes there. I remember when it was packed with people, everyone forming teams for good old Frostfire. I do what i can when a make a new toon, i start up teams for Frosty, The Hollows is tons of fun, and so many people are missing out because they are all focused on "Sewers" DFB. When i start a new character, i like making a team and running them through Sewer Network. Because of the Leagues, people have no sense of the game. I had to show 5 people where the Sewer Network was, and where The Hollows was. People get clueless when all they play are those leagues. I really hope The Hollows, Sewer Network, and Perez Park don't become another Galaxy City.
Perez Park is another great place, and people don't even know it exists. I think there truly needs to be some way to Revive the Dead Zones. Because in all, they are great.
