They do, but since the people are in MM, that's where groups/replacements are found. By the time you move a group to some other dungeon you're likely to lose members, and it's a lot harder finding replacements when everyone is in MM.

It's also got convenient banking for neutral/good characters, unlike places like CT or Guk.

^^ This.

I had my shaman in SolA for a week waiting for people to show up. Nobody but lvl 35+ in there farming everyday. Each time I would log in and do a /whoall 25 30 almost everyone on that list would be in MM. The rest are sitting in EC with maybe 1 or 2 in HPH. I held out for a week because the zem in Sol A kicks the crap out of MM, but when there's nobody there to get any exp period, you go where the herd has gone.

I guess that's one of the fallbacks to playing a game this old. Nobody needs to explore anymore because they've seen it all and have their favorite xp spots.
