What makes a group-finder post actually get answers at night?

Been trying to fill spots for some evening runs this week and getting mixed results, so I want to hear from the rest of you.

My setup so far:

• I post in general chat with the dungeon name, level range, and roles still needed.
• I try to keep it short so it doesn't get buried right away.
• I repost every few minutes when nobody bites.

Some nights this fills a group fast, other nights it just sits there even though the zone feels populated. I'm not sure if it's the wording, the channel, the time of night, or just bad luck with who's online.

So here's my one question: what does your group request actually say when it works, and where do you post it?

Curious whether it's a specific channel, a certain phrasing, or something else entirely that gets people to actually reply instead of scrolling past. Share what's worked for you.

The bit about the zone feeling populated but nobody biting matches what I've seen too, though I'd want someone to actually log playtime data before we call it a wording problem rather than a population problem. Have you tried posting in specific zone chat instead of general? Night Run and Nightsong Woods late in the evening felt dead to me even when general chat had traffic, which makes me suspect people just aren't in the zone you think they are, they're parked in a hub city. Also worth checking: does your repost interval actually matter, or would the group have filled at minute three the same as minute fifteen? Easy to test if someone logs timestamps for a week instead of just gut-feeling it. My money's on time of night mattering more than phrasing, but I'd rather be corrected with actual numbers than keep assuming.
