They changed it with the rise update. That is why spamming the old s2 raids gives you so much ap now.

Redeemers, OS, S3 raids? Solo/party? RAR dragon, snake, fish, spiders? In every run I have a different answer. Toss in stims or play around with different party members, it changes again. (IE put in an OP good hurk with a fifi and see who's dps tanks. Or put a kai in zec with the rest being slower moving character ;-) Heck throw in 3 evies that all do holds in Agares, then see what class shines.

And truly it all tends to come down to gear + how much the person wants to go all out (which you are assuming is 100% for each).

I often run with 1 guildy and sometimes folks just join too quick for us to both fit in. I know of a few other people that almost always are running with a friend etc. I usually don't resort to vote kicking, but often will just kill the boat/remake. The real issue with just asking the last person to leave is if things are active your friend etc still might not manage to get in ;-)

That said I can understand the frustration. Heck I often purposely join boats first before making my own since most of them tend to take forever to fill, and if you are then asked to leave I then end up having 2 unfilled boats for the same run sitting there waiting for folks.

It is very likely that you still have to wait 1.5 months.

And then you've come full circle to the fact that there's no market for anything past +13 - there's effectively no market for +13 astera weapons either.

Think about how many +15 items have been sold historically and what kind of players ended up being the buyers - "just buy it" is a nice sentiment but it's completely out of reach for the vast majority of players when it comes to high enhance items. Much further out of reach than reforging items on their own.

I am not focused on just +15. I have seen multiple astera weapons at +13 going for ~750m. I have friends that are just buying their armor... for basically the same price they sold their dul gear for. (Heck one just managed to get a +15 armor piece for 650m...)

Again you need the gold, but if you bought steel for +12/13 then you should have just bought them instead.

(Note I say this, but even I am one of those poor fools that is going to reforge +12 gear...) But again that is just using steel I manage to farm.)
