No one is going to ditch a zerg and go solo. Zergs are pretty much 100% survival rate unless you come across another zerg.

People can zerg all day, killing one or two players at a time, and each person in that zerg can still get more stones than one person getting stones by themselves.

zerg = less chance of losing your stones. Even though the rate is slower, i'll take that over solo play any day.

But it's not just lower, it's non existent and frankly boring, because nothing to fight for big raids in IC. Zergs wants to fight other zergs. They want to farm big numbers, for maximum pay of. Not kill some solo'er once in a while for like 2 stones.

In was in a large raid, about 18 players for a while and totally felt like I was zerging IC hard. There's no interesting or rewarding gameplay available for teams of that size. Not enough enemies at the same spots to fight. Not much loot or stones.

Go solo or with 2-4 players and kill some mobs, you make ten times more stuff and stones in a minute.

The IC map is huge, while population caps are restricted, so full raids mostly end up running around empty maps trying to find opponents. After a while they get bored. I sort of expect IC to kill a lot of PvP guilds, since no action for full guild raids. While Cyrodiil, the map with objectives for larger raids, is going to be empty from now on.

Just as with DAoC, PvPers will get the gear they need and be done with IC in a couple weeks. And unless they make entrance rotate somehow, PvPers won't come in too much. Except the kitten kickers, who will live there to gank poor PvErs.

They wont be done with IC up until prehaps Orsinium. Ic is the only area that delivers proper xp for max lvl players so dont expect people to leave anytime soon sadly. Its not DAOC it has different mechanics.

I gotta bump this up. @olemanwinter and I are in a guild together and his advice is always sensible.
Of course I didn't follow what he said at first and would lose thousands of stones in a day.
Now that I've actually taken some of what he's said to heart, I find I have more after an hour or four of running through the IC underground.

I kinda like the zerg in IC. Its a big moving ball of bait, that you know someone will have a pop at. As for stones - I go with the mindset that they're useless, so I don't care if I lose them. Following the IC zerg is about the only way to find steady combat in Cyrodiil or IC now. Just wish that there was more point to IC, another objective other than to collect stones.
