I have found that since I hit level cap I almost never do PQ's and I am starting to ask myself why? The first thing that comes to mind is finding people to do them. Unless people are leveling or we need to farm for X or Y item, people are not interested, and even when we do need to do the aforementioned items above, people still are not interested in doing them. For instance, last night a guildie discovered how to almost guarantee getting +20 permanent wounds/other stat tallies, so now we are on the hunt for a steady supply of mats for them. This is an instance where we will be farming PQ's for the mats needed, or getting the rings that use to drop in RVR that are not in bastion stair PQ's.

The next item for PQ's is people leveling. With the steady rise in people playing new toons, more and more people are taking to PQ's for EXP and items. This is great at lower levels because it provides you with an easy to finish way to gear out your character and get a huge EXP/influence boost. The problem is, as you get higher in level RR gear and items with wards take precedence, and the only PQ's that drop wards on that of Bastion Stair. So people fall to the wayside on them, additionally, they are not the best way to get exp.

So what can be done? Make PQ's offer better rewards, such as weapons, rings, belts items that don’t have wards that people need excellent options for. I think that would bring a lot more people out to doing the PQ's. With such a prevalence focused on wards at this current time, people need other options for their other slots.
