I've also noticed that the players demanding all the loot only do so when they actually get the portal themselves. If they don't get a portal from their maps they instead demand a FFA on loot from other players' portals. They're selfish hypocrites.
Very well put and I completely agree. Of course there are plenty of players who firmly believe in the "my map my loot" philosophy and disregard or downplay the group effort involved with doing these maps. While we can endlessly debate the value of the gil, items, and tomestones a player gets for simply participating in a Aquapolis run the simple fact is it is not fun carrying a player through that dungeon and passing on every item that drops. A lot of the excitement of doing the Aquapolis is clearing each floor to see what is inside the next chest because you actually have a shot at winning it.
