It obviously like anyone could have told you is still as hard to find groups at certain times as it already was .
Removing the layers won’t help finding players for this group stuff.
All it does it make more people out in world, slowing down questing.
Did worse than nothing. It make low level zones too crowded making gathering even harder, but no help - of course - for grouping or dungeons.
Btw. where you see that layers got removed?
Because there was only layer 1 instead of the usual 3 layers.
Though today it seems like there are 2 layers now, maybe another became available because everyone came on for the buffs.
I think it’s great, zones feel very alive and not too crowded at least at the 1-30 bracket on Necrosh.
Difference between “alive” and “too crowded” are in the eyes of player. I am mining level 14, find it “too crowded” – at higher levels and for groups might very well be “alive”.
