This isn't a good argument. ONE PERSON in the run using an essence doesn't "save a lot of time." You people keep taking the difference between EVERYONE using an essence and NO ONE using an essence, then applying it to a situation where ONE PERSON is saying they aren't using essences.

Me popping an essence isn't the difference between a 45 minute run and a 25 minute run, it's the difference between a 45 minute run and maybe a 42 minute run. It's not going to make a difference that anyone in the run will really care about, but the time I spend farming or the gil I spend on the market board will make a difference to me.

... And it's because people not using essence chose to remain a part of the problem that things don't change.

So, instead of severely hurting 23 other people, like in your fantasy scenario, what I'm actually doing is being like .01% of a large scale problem that's completely beyond my ability to fix anyways...

Yea, I'm fine with that. If you want to throw your time and gil into a bottomless pit in order to pay lip-service to a problem that's WAY beyond your scope then have fun, but don't try to force that onto everyone.
