Take note that the people writing that stuff on other forums are the same people reading and posting on this forum and realize that that argument is pointless.

AF was good enough to get to 75 in. The unfortunate fact is that waiting around town for that perfect geared guy to pop up his flag slows down xp more than just going with the mediocre guy in most cases because back at 75 cap, odds were that the perfect geared guy wasn't ever going to show.

This completely ignores the fact that the whole argument was obviously meant to make a fairly obvious (not to be taken literally ) point that you are either purposely or accidentally missing (either way it doesn't look good for you).

No they didn't do just as well. They did well enough to get to 75 fairly quickly where they could work on gear that would actually last them for longer than 1 event / exp party.
