The simple fact is at the moment we have people switching factions simply to try and make level 50 pvp pop. And this is at prime time friday night. If we cant consistent pvp pops on a friday night something is seriously wrong. And yes, as the nice Dawn man pointed out, there is organised pvp events between friendly guilds, but this happens maybe once or twice a week, which is unlikely to even get people their weeklies done, let alone for alts.
As for PVE, yes there are Ops being run. This is due to the hardwork of some individuals who take the time to organise and lead them. These are being organised in advance, so for people who cant committ to an ops several days ahead of time they have to hope that an operation has been planned when they are available and that there is a spare spot.
As for the group finder, for finding random groups it just simply doesnt work most of the time as several people have pointed out. I have spoken to several people who have spent hours queued with nothing happening.
So maybe, if you are one of lucky ones (and I do include myself in that list), with a good network of in game friends and you only want to pvp occasionally, things are just fine on Gav Daragon. But there are still a lot of people out there for whom it is just not working.
