If you're complaining about ruby at all in an EXP group, you're doing it wrong.

If a BLM cant walk around and hit some Emphemerals while the group is killing mobs as fast possible, you're doing it wrong.

If a BLU is in party and can't cap Azure by sniping some weak mobs that con DC away from the party, you're doing it wrong.

If you're actually concerned about timing out in Abyssea in an EXP alliance, you're doing it wrong or half the alliance is AFK which wouldn't be surprising.
