I maybe posted this in the wrong part of the forum:
https://forum.playphoenix.online/realm/rvr/26579-is-it-possible-to-restrict-groupsize-in-low-population-hours

Problem:
During low population (for me when i played daytime EU time last week 8:00 to 16:00) there is one 8 man out killing everything in the task zone. and there is nowhere else to go since all pop is in task zone. So its either PVE be farmed by a 8man och log and come back later when there is a playerbase to build groups. This will make the population dissapear and i think it already has diminished a lot.

Possible solution:
Main thing is when the population (population excluding stealthers) is under a certain level per realm the groupcap should be lowered to 5 man (my suggestion all reals can make decent 5 mans) to make the gameplay better and to make it possible to make competitive groups even if you dont have 8 ppl you know thats online. So it will be more competitive and fun for the majority of the population and i think this will help the serverpopulation back. could be worth a try at least becouse i dont think anyone is superexcited to be chainkilled y the same 8man over and over again.

I dont know the exact amount of player but thats up to the gms to figure out, also they should have data over what hours the population is under these numbers.

And then raid quests were introduced, for example
