Are ev1 and ev2 dead?

[Krag]

Since nerfdate most von pugs have vanished. Those remained often sit for hour or more without any action. Guildies are not any better. Nobody want to waste their time on old content that does not even yield tokens.

The newer content, while having inferior epic items, is faster and newer therefore more fun for the time being. Once we get something else, then House P will be less populated except for a small problem, which will get rerun to get seals when the devs fix that little mistake. ;)

People will get back to it. Many of those who epic on Argo are TR'ing due to lack of higher end new content outside of silly lvl 5 made epic quests.... ;)

The exodus of 'epic' players has certainly contributed to the issue but there is more to it.

What were the reasons to run ev1-2?

- short length Shortcuts were removed from ev2. Shorter alternatives were introduced.
- easier than Desert House epics are just as easy.
- solofriendly All friendliness has gone with the reentry fix and ddoor nerf.
- epic freaking token

That leaves medium length old boring quest which is hard to solo (it takes one Otto to screw your attempt) and even harder to find a group for but without worthy reward at the end.

Hard to get people to run eVoN1+2 when now between the two, you get just enough shards to make one token. 40 eVoN runs to get your TR is a steep slope, and it seems less people are willing to challenge it anymore. 100% more work and effort just to end up with the same reward you used to get is very disheartening.

Yes, Turbine killed them. Working as intended now.
