That's a great thought about XP areas tending to attract certain numbers and questing resulting in a diffuse population. You might go to an XP spot suitable for 10 people with 30 people to "raid" it, but you aren't going to just hang out with 30 people. So it will tend towards being a 10v10 area most of the time.
Plus if you're the hunter, you know where to go. You know where the good grind spots are that people tend to always be at versus the bad areas that are usually empty. XP spots double as hunting grounds.
Maybe it's not so much a question of "which is more fun, questing or grinding" but simply that grinding ends up being better for creating a PvP environment as well as a community. You'll rarely (if ever) quest with strangers but grinding near strangers is commonplace.
