Capacity points were never too low(granted the boosts were probably needed to go along with the 15/15 increase). Camps were too few/congested for groups and farming them solo was too boring. Hasn't really changed.
@Comeatmebro: I rarely see anyone where I go, though Leviathan is a less populated server. Also consider a lot of people nowadays will go to Escha instead of other places to get CP same time as they get silt. Solo wasn't bad, I don't get the huge amounts of JP/hour that AoE jobs get, but killing one at a time I got 40 JP/hour.
And when you take out the 285% in gifts and drop it to 33% (95 JP), and take out the Trizek Ring, and take out double CP campaign...how much is that 17550?
