If you can help your FC friends out, all the better! The idea with the loot lock is that if the boss is downed, you don't get any more loot from it that week even if you received nothing. So that'd keep gear/content gating at a relative level as it is now.
While I agree on the helping friends aspect I can tell you what a loot lockout would do to my Coil group. 7 of us would lvl alts with the exact same Job as it's main they have right now for Coil. Enter Turn 1 with 1 Main and the 7 alts. Beat T1, give both items to whoever is on his main not alt character. Exit. Reenter with 2 Mains and give the 2nd Main both items. Exit. Reenter with 3 Mains and give 3rd main both items etc etc...

Thanks but I wouldn't want this to happen...
