While I absolutely get the concept of "respect others, work together" because you really can't clear content like this without it, and I absolutely think that organizing things via outside sources like Discord is invaluable (albeit ridiculous that we have to resort to it)... well, there's a level of entitlement in some of these posts from discord group organizers that has me shaking my head. Not all of them, mind you. I'm fine with the concept of "we're here, I wish you'd join because it makes things easier for everybody." But the entitlement of "our group takes precedent because we organized it and because you're not part of us you shouldn't be here/we own the time & zone we choose/we naturally deserve this more than anyone else by virtue of us being here" that's... well, it's disgusting.

Is organizing via discord faster? Yep.
Is it more efficient and more likely to result in completion? Yep.
Is it required? Nope.
Does it "put you at the front of the line"? Nope.

You don't automatically own BA and the portals simply because you state that you have the intention to go in, and I hate that this is set up in a way which encourages this sort of thinking. SE really needs to learn from this. An open dungeon that requires savage-level organization is just a recipe for disaster.
