East/West Zods are largely ignored in the instanced zone (There is a small minority of groups that occasionally do them) because these sections of the zone were unaltered as regards mob respawning. So having to fight there, then fight everything as you kill the zod even though you just killed it 4 minutes ago, and then fight your way out all for a mob that is largely of minor interest. This is enough of a deterrant to not bother with it at all.
Now that the 'solo farm' issue is off the table, perhaps its time to consider making a good portion of these adds - once killed of course - not respawn. The mob density at east spot is much, much higher than Middle, North and The Night Heart. The mob density at the west spot is higher than all three put together. Even in regular Pandemonium, more effort was required for East and West than the entire rest of the raid. The slacking would begin in force once those were taken care of.
Oh but it will be too easy I hear people like Sterva say. Well. So what. Hardly anyone is killing them right now. Not because its too hard. But because its too tedious. 40 Minutes to an hour to kill east and west safely, without deaths and rezzing. 40 minutes to an hour to go to beast. Faced with this choice, east and west is ignored by the majority.
