runnyeye population

[Fraud]

I've been hunting near runnyeye/gorge area lately, and I've been wondering why the population in RE is always so low? It seems like such an awesome place to xp and decent loot, but nobody ever seems to hunt here.

I've heard reasons like 'its too far out of the way' but its no worse than highpass or unrest. Is there something I'm missing? Non exp dungeon bonus or something? Id like some insight, cuz imo the zone is awesome
