Please stop queuing up for endgame instances in level 30

Accessories I understand, sometimes oyu just don't find those.

Doing the story- and sidequests, FATEs and dungeons nets you a good 200~250k in gil if you're doing your first job from 1 to 50.
Likely more if you Convert your spirit bonded gear and sell the materia.
There is no reason, absolutely none to not go to the nearest market boards and invest in a couple of level ~50 accessoires, even if you're only getting NQ for the transition to better drops or tome gear.

Maybe you just happened upon people doing some kind of challenge run..?

Then those people should shout for like minded people, I am well aware not to expect much from DF runs, but that is even wasting the time of anyone wanting to do a casual run.

2.1 will bring us this heavenly feature.

I'm not too sure if WP/AK will be included in that.
