The vet can change this in 15 minutes!
Now imagine the motivation to repeat this day after day...with alternative the solo instances (and of course thanks to murphy, there will be just THAT ad for the nm you were looking for, when in the middle of the solo part...).
On another note, it might be just a big barrier for new players to advertise on their own. From my experience in crom it is that you do see mostly the "KK, hm, AA xp" runs advertised, but this does not mean that the demand for "nm, maybe hm...bring time" is not there. Often enough you can find groups. Thing is just how often do you take the initiative and patience and at what intervals...again compared to a seasoned group who probably happens to enjoy the quick boss runs as well (mainly because most know what to do and CAN do what they are supposed to do and thus things are fast and rarely wiping).
