Acceptable to spirit bind in Dungeons?

[Oblit]

No, it's not ok. The person is getting carried through the dungeon and the same person is making money while being carried. If it was a pre-made spirit bind group it's fine. It would have been acceptable if the person gear down to "match" other undergeared/decently geared players. but I've seen people in their full crafting gear and only having 2k+ HP in AK/WP.

I'm fine with relic people who spiritbind gear so long as they keep their weapons equipped.

Honestly, as long as the gear isn't stupid bad, it makes the run smoother and not very much slower.

Most that I've encountered will switch for bosses. See a blm shoot from 2500 to 3600 is pretty funny.

There are a lot of variables that effect my opinion on this issue.

Then it would be within my right as tank or healer to leave the party if they choose to do so. Fair enough.

So much faster to spiritbind outside of dungeons. Anyone who's wasting people's time inside DF deserves to be kicked.

I never said it was not within your right to do so. If you go into Duty Finder and don't like the party you get, then you're free to leave. As long as you do actually leave and don't pull out some dick move trying to force them to take your 15 minute penalty.

Naw, I see it more as:

-See them change into all whites
-Kindly ask if they can change back to regular gear
-They say no or ignore, I leave.

It's really not a big deal to eat the 15 minute penalty as healer or tank. It is annoying, though.

Its a pretty scumbag move. Spiritbind on your own time, not everyone else's. That said, Duty Finder is anonymous central, so you have to expect the worst kind of behavior until Votekick is implemented.

The only problem I can see though is that you actually saw them change gear. If they had arrived in the dungeon in that same gear, would you have immediately quit? If yes, I wonder why you are using Duty Finder in the first place. If no, then why could you not carry on with this particular player as you would have done anyway.

I'll sometimes go into WP with full militia gear as DD but keep my +1 weapon just for damage sake. Usually still outgear the other DD interestingly enough. That said, you'll have to pry my leopard print subligar from my cold dead...err...

Even if I didn't see them doing so, if they're wearing i45 whites (which even most of their AF is way better than) I'd still inquire for them to change gear. There is no way they're 50 doing dungeons with out at least their AF.
