Plus macros makes inviting and dropping a non issue

I'm more worried about the guy claiming that we can exp off dead mobs.
pl is broke. newb claims mobs, then higher lvl nub kills them. newb gets full exp. the high lvl don't have to be in the party.
For those who don't understand, I used to do something akin to this in XI.
ME, the PL, would be a BRD PLing a group, who had a hard time killing enemies.
Staying alive wasn't an issue, just low acc/att.
So I had my friend make a macro, to invite me /pcmd add Name
I then had a macro that accepted the PT invite, start casting the buffs, then remove myself from the group in 1 button.
(Same with ballad for the BLM)
So taking that idea, for XIV, just have a debuff AoE, like slow. (Won't kill the enemies)
Have your friend invite you, via macro, and go grab a ton of enemies while in the PT.
When you have all their names of the correct color, it gives the group the claim, even if you drop from the PT.
Now the monsters are on you, and with no one 11 Levels higher than the rest, the whole group gets the full EXP if u kill the enemies from outside the group.
To drop PT faster, make a macro to leave the PT, and start AoEing.
as soon as the mobs die, ur friend hits the invite macro, and u hit the accept macro.
You don't need to do all this, it's so much easier to have (almost) level appropriate mobs aggro the group getting leveled. When one of them does an action, any action, they'll get claim. At that exact moment, the 50 CON PLer heals the person that grabbed claim, which also grabs hate from all the mobs, then proceed to kill them. The PLer never needs to be in the party.
There goes the whiners and massochist, i dont like PL but you should worry of what you do not what others do, im not elitist but i know when a player doesnt know how to play their role because of an easy leveling, after that theres only 2 options that i always do, one: i help them asking them what i need them to do and number 2: if they suck that bad i skip them.
Everyone should be able to do what they see fit.
