This = people just have some phobia of creating their own groups - hell, last time I even made a group for the storm’s fury that is otherwise a dead activity but I got my toy, finally!
Blizzard killed ZC with their weird change to rares…
since then no one cared about it 
and i don’t care about it mainly because i did all achievements there
I miss 2 manuscripts for my drake and i CBA killing emberdusk and kobrok alone
Its because once people have gotten what they wanted from them there’s no reason to go there anymore.
Once the new patch hits you will see a drastic reduction in people doing Time Rifts or Dreamsurges and once the next expansion hits you’ll be lucky if you see 5 people doing them on peak times.
Its always happened though.
They don’t have to if they pick the right class. For instance my Hunter and my tank specced classes have np killing rares, except for the ones with daft affixes (yeah, looking at you spawning a swarm of birds that heal the rare from 5% to 100% in as many seconds). Just takes a bit of time and some knowledge of your specs weaknesses and strengths.
And given Blizzard’s never ending incessant need to play Friend Finder like facebook does and force you to “play together or else”, by which I mean if you don’t play their Holy trinity of M+ Normal and above raiding and PvP they throw you tidbits of content and call it “world content” that is more or less done in a week.
Then you are left with the ending of,
"Once people have gotten what they wanted from them there’s no reason to go there anymore. "
“Now go raid, M+ or PvP you filthy anti grouping sleazebag and stop bothering us with demands for better content outside of that. Go play Skyrim or something…”
Best rares i did were Arathi and Darkshore ones, all soloable and some had mounts or transmog, 1 big WB in each and easy portal to get there from main city of expantion.
I want to go back to BfA’s ease of life.
The “rare rares” or “beefy rares” or simply unrewarding rares are are bad but 2 of these 3 and its a naturally dead content.
You know what i think would help? remove lockout on zaralek cavern rares completly and make it so you can kill them over and over like in forbidden reach. At this point what is the harm if people can get drake fragments faster this close to next patch. Then we are gonna see lots of rare farming groups im sure
I think it is time to give us something new instead of repeats.
Forbidden Reach - token item, rare
Zaralek Cavern - token item, rare
Emerald Dream - token item, rare ?!
Rift Time - farm stuff
Dreamsurge - farm stuff
To be honest. I think they are scared of to add something new ideas, thats why they do the same thing over and over. It needs to stop!

Indeed
But if you had 15 different level 25 snail pets for the hidden reputation quests:
Amethyst Softshell
Archetype of Vigilance
Blackchasm Crawler
Microlicid
Mudshell Conch
Predatory Helicid
Prismatic Softshell
Rapana Whelk
Rusty Snail
Scooter the Snail
Shelly
Shimmershell Snail
Silkbead Snail
Spireshell Snail
Zoom
…thats 1500 extra reputation was a great boon!
But yeah
The rest was like snail-pece 
I had most of those battle-pets. Still was painfully slow. I guess that was part of the joke… snails are slow
I do not agree with this statement whatsoever. Look into the history of the game if you want an answer why, I don’t want to bore you with a wall of text explaining it.
I remember. I didnt use it because legion didnt had everywhere events on the map going on so i have no idea why i needed it back then.
In my oppinion it is more about the weekly lockouts in the cavern. Like the rares Zereth Mortiz in shadowlands was even playable without grouping in season 4, where ZM opened in season 3. The whole difference is the lockout. With more people playing rares less grouping is needed.
Oh an ZM rares helped with doing the weekly. The cavern rares do not give rep. I am on 8 niffin rep and i try to get to 15 now because of the stupid rep requirement for normal flying. Killed a couple of rares yesterday, no rep at all. What is actually now the reason to do rares? I can’t find any reason to kill them.
Is there any reason to be in the cave at all?

you dont ave to agree.
fact is most people dont do any content in game wwhich doesnt give power progression .
in Legion / BFa world was very alive and filled with people because those rewards were there ,
in SL when ZM started to give strong rewards it was filled with players ,
In DF wworld content doesnt reward any even semi decent rewards - and is dead like dodo
people who negate those simple facts are like flat-earthers.

I soloed a rare as healer. Took between 15-20 minutes 
And no rep.

True.
Also true.
Ehm… Unless you really want a big ugly hat or the upcoming Pathfinder unlock, no. 
Basically
Or if you are a cooking recipe collector like me, to beat Brullo for the Rocks on the Rocks
Maybe for some pets, achievements, mounts…
But aside the compagain?
No, not really, no real reason to be there
Well maybe if you are a bot/gatherer to hunt lambent herbs and metamorphic ores for the Zaralek Glowspores, since they are selling quite well
Zaralek Cavern truly is a garbage zone. The way you enter it is cool, and that’s where my praise ends, straight up. It looks bad, it plays bad.
