That's why to me, it's mind boggling how those players can be when it comes to bringing the bare minimum to the table in group contents. Cultural difference? Probably, but I'd rather not question that further. In my case, I went big the first time I had the motivation to farm for those frags, evidently done with 2 of my friend & randoms that joins our farming group. Across all farming sessions, I think it's safe to say I've invested about 6 (six) hours in total from different days. The result? Now I'm running more than enough essences AND lost actions to last me all relics I had about 160+ counts of each essences except deep and pure essences by the time I run out of motivation, minus 5-10 from some frags I got on the way, and this is from several months ago. Up till now, I still yet to burn half of what I've farmed. A total of six hours translated into 'god mode' that lasts for months? Yass plss!

Do I expect another player to invest same amount of effort like that? Certainly no. Not everybody should do that, (evidently) I just suffer from that 'x99 Elixir Syndrome'. And yet it's easy to guess how much a player can make within 15m - 30m of farming plus how far it can benefit themselves--and indirectly, to players grouped with them.
