Yeah, that tends to happen after 6 years. We'll see how long WoW lasts.

I read an article in PC Gamer that stated the average time to level up to 60 in WOW was 21 days. The zones that a 60 in WOW can play are few and far between. I don't think WOW will be around nearly as long as EQ. The game play is to limited at the top end.
... I dont know how this degenerated into another eq vs wow thread but dead horses everywhere are shivering.
As far as the op question....

Is EQ going downhill with low lvls, i mean i cant even find a group- whats up?
The answer is yes it has been for a long time. I very very much reccomend you make a more soloable class. I recently dinged 70 on my SK. I had yet to raid him so he was by no means uber. I couldnt even find people will to go to WoS they all wanted MPG or RSS. Both of which I was not capable of tanking. I gaurentee you will run into this same problem.
I HIGHLY reccomend you make a class that is more suitable for soloing. Tank classes are very gear dependant and group dependant. Playing a tank class as your main in EQ is the most frustratiing and time consuming route possible. Once you hit 50 you can look forward to being grouped with people in the low 40's of other classes because that is all you will eb able to handle. So the xp for them will be ok and for you it will be miserably slow. No class levels slower then a tank, period.
If you enjoy meleeing I would play a beastlord. The can solo and are highly desireable in groups. Also the melee DPS classes area good choice. They cant solo effectively past 40 but they can atleast go to level appropriate zones. EQ however is ridiculously unbalanced in favor of the caster classes. If playing a caster is something you would enjoy make life easy on yourself and play one of them. Because of there utilities they all solo well and are highly desireable in groups.
Bottom line is groups are becoming harder and harder to find and will continue to trend that way. Also a higher percentage of the remaining eq population is in hard core raiding guilds then ever before. People in these guilds tend to build groups through the guild channel and not /lfg.
Bottom line .. join a guild and hope they have active members you can group with. Be proactive and try to buid your own groups (this isnt as effective as it use to be) also seriously consider playing a different class.
good luck!
