There are MANY flaws with this point/argument that's why. The biggest one being what extent you actually think this falls under as being objective rather than subjective. Why do we not wait for everyone on the server to get there then? Unrealistic right? I agree. Then why wouldn't you wait for the few stragglers that are on their way, but not part of your group/LS/FC? I'm sure you'd tell them "sorry but you gotta get here sooner if you want credit". To what degree does it give you the right to deny them the credit, when your idea is that it's bad for a smaller group to "deny" others the chance at seals? Was it unrealistic for you to wait just an extra minute for them to get there? Groups generally do wait a very short time, but once the horde is there... you better be there in seconds before they pull, otherwise you're SOL.

The entire "greater good" mentality being used here is flawed and always used as a scapegoat for what is actually personal gain. There has never been an example of it being done solely for "everyone to get credit", as that would imply you're thinking about others equally to either yourself or your group/LS/FC/friends. What's that? Some player outside of our circle just joined the fray and the mob is almost dead so he won't get credit? Better reset it - said no one ever. What's that? The mob is almost dead but our group isn't here yet? Better try to steal aggro and reset it until my group/LS/FC gets here - said every self righteous participating player.
