A few more questions...

1.) By comparison how do the simple tmaps compare to VE, easy, and moderate maps. My friend and I four manned (both 2-boxing: paly/druid and rogue/ench) about 6-8 simple maps from 57-59 and I am curious to know if VE maps are a big step up, a step down, or about the same for the level range?

2.) Ancient spells - I read a good thread on these aimed at improving the drop rate, but very little mention as to what a single group can actually attempt. Most of the thread was devoted to raid targets with random mentioning of single group mobs, but nothing specific. The wiki had a small page on the scrolls, but again I'm looking for something specific. So... what can a single group of 4-6 characters kill with hopes of getting an ancient scroll? I saw the dragon shades in DN and faction mobs (stormkeep/DHK) mentioned, but what exactly in the faction zones drops them? And is there anything else that wasn't mentioned?

3.) I've seen a few posts mention that the majority of the server is giant aligned - why? Is this due to the mind shield vs. stun resist mods on the final gems or another reason? I have some other questions about dragon/giant faction, but I haven't done any searching/reading yet and will reserve any questions until then.

1) as i recall, VE maps are a large step up for a new level 60-64

2) There are a number of mobs a single group can take, blademaster in mielc and ravenwing in EW for example.

3) This is majority a carryover of older days where DHK was more completed before SE for a considerable amount of time as i recall. The post listing guild alignment is WAY off as of present and I would suspect a larger majority is now dragon aligned due to the ease of the augment quest.
