While I hate the lockout myself for obvious reasons, I'm actually completely fine with it. If there was no lockout then people would begin selling coil runs. Think about it, T1 & 2 doesn't require an 8 man. Things would begin there and gradually get worse. I'm fine with selling runs like titan and all since the relic quest is hella easy and doesn't show any real sense of achievement. But BC is something I want to keep authentic. If I see someone in Allagan gear, I'd like to think they are a decent/good player, not someone who paid a group to run the content for them.
