Huh dunno why you're so offensive about it but i will answer anyway :
I dont gatekeep sh*t because i dont care about others and what they do, you say it yourself getting BiS is just a matter of time, so what's the problem here ?
If your friends wants to play with you they will, if they value the chest more than playing with their friend that is willing to help, are those really your friends in the first place ?
I do help a lot of ppl on the side, but their needs comes after mine i do play to have my shit and then sure if someone needs help let's go, if they just want gear and dont care about anything else, dont bring the "i want to play with my friends" it's such a non-sense.
if they NEED you to get a clear because they can't otherwise, 1 chest isn't such a huge price to begin with, and they'all have 2 the next week now that they know what to do.
No truly i dont get how it's a problem, you want to raid with your friends you can whenever you like, they'll have their gear later so what ? They must have it asap but they can't do it by themselves first why should they have 2 chests then if they cant do it on their own ?
It's not non-sense. But you aren't reading what I am saying. People do want to play with friends. People do want to hop into PF's, and help people clear and get them loot. They are just non-existant items. FFXIV items aren't real *gasps*. When 2 chest is 4 pieces of gear, and and 1 is 2. its a massive difference.

And to answer your last question. There are plenty of times I clear, then a friend group asks me to sub, because some people do miss because ....*gasps* they have a real life. I know with covid and all that going on.. that people are terminally online, but some do still have to pay the bills, feed their kids, and work, and may not be able to raid all the time.

It's a problem cause it is inherently socially restrictive, and antithetical to social MMO design which this game is supposed to be about.
For me I want to play with friends, the loot to me doesn't matter but to someone else, potentially a friend or something it may matter, because they may have different plans for themselves. You can't take what I am saying for myself on loot not mattering and trying to apply it to everyone.
