I don’t know if player count has dipped to historic lows already but the game has never been so dead since Legion imo. Maybe peak(bottom) SL was worse but I quit just before the valor patch came out so I wouldn’t know.
Forming a m+ group takes like 20-40 minutes on average, sometimes no one signs up for like half an hour. This effectively kills the game mode because you can’t join keys until you vastly outgear them and have 2k rio as always, which is perfectly fine because you can’t gauge random player’s performance in any other way, but the solution to host your own keys barely works at this point because there are no people.
It’s even more pathetic when you consider that both factions can now apply to listings and there’s STILL fewer players then ever. Raising is even worse because I don’t think I’ve seen any progress no exp runs the last 10 times I checked. I’m not even trying to raid anymore because I can’t keep any guild’s schedule due to rotating shifts, and there are no pug progress raids to speak of.
I’m on Silvermoon atm but it shouldn’t matter for group content, so no idea if the game is completely dead at this point or if I’m having a unit experience. I know for a fact it was never this bad in BFA or the first 3,4 months of SL…
