I always thought salo was a sort of pork fat...
Anyway, yeah, big +1. Indeed ppl have moved on, even in a bigger guild it will take a few days before there is a group willing to do BF easy _again_ ("no, please, not BF easy _again_..."). And ppl who don't have friends to ask have little chance to find anyone willing in the world chat/pug.
By the way - it's not a problem for getting to the Fjord imho, finding someone who will open a portal for you will be 1000 times easier than getting a pt for BF easy: you mark the snoop, done. But it _is_ the main quest line: you do need the xp/tp, and if you are undergeared you may need the quest rewards!
It has been discussed so many times (
here's an example, but there are several other threads on the same subject). Preferably - please, please, please change the quest structure so that BF easy was not needed (just mark the quest as "finished" immediately after it's acquired seems the easiest?). Alternatively - you could add there some useful reward (10 PoMs from Maderoth easy IF there is a toon in pt with the Morrok quest?) to encourage pts - it would be a more complex solution though.
PS: By the way - if you are really undergeared, you could join a pt just before the last boss: you won't complete the other side quests but surviving the Maderoth fight should be much easier than a few earlier bosses, and finding pt might be a tad easier if they can run through the instance faster.
