Layers feel empty

I know theyve been adjusting layers but a lot of zones feel very empty. I would rather have more players in a zone than it feel like a dead server. I would adjust it to be higher like before it was way more fun. A mmorpg is about seeing players in the world… Or atleast give us a setting option to place us on a high population layer. I dont care to fight over more mobs and resources, I would choose the high population layer instead.
