I don't really think this is true. The loose part is, certainly, lots of limping and calling, but by and large only a small number of maniacs, and an even smaller number of decent aggressive players, will actively bet and raise with any regularity. Perhaps one just notices the ones that do because they tend to be vastly OVER-aggressive.

Instead, see it as a plus. The over-aggro players are much more likely to donate you their stacks than the weak passive players, so make an effort to identify them and adjust your game accordingly.

Playing the weak players is easier - simply value bet and take note when you get raised, because it's almost always kosher. That's the other good thing about this level - the vast majority of the plays they make are obvious, "honest" if you will.

So in short, don't get too caught up with developing reads on individuals - rather, figure out what "type" they are and play accordingly verses the appropriate range
