    Are people really that bad at this game that they need to skip bosses for easier tomes? It's so incredibly lazy, and not particularly effective.

    It's faster to just run roulette and smash something like Haukke Manor (which seems to come up a lot), rather than spamming the DF for however long until you get what you want, and screw everyone else over.

    i wouldnt say ineffective, i made a lot of gil before prior to 2.1 that way, and have helped a tonne of players who were stuck. Right now i really got no reason to run any dungeons, so time to time i check out the in progress and help a group out waiting for a healer.

    People simply choose the path of least resistance. Sniping dungeons for the last boss seems like the best way of dealing with potential fails in parties. For example, if you were sniping Copperbell HM, most people probably would not want to deal with teams that can't deal with the bombs in the first boss, so they'd rather take their chances, and try and find a party which has cleared the first 2 bosses, but somehow broke up before the third boss. Or it could be a premade party, for whatever reason, deciding to vote kick (against ToS) their pug tank, and bring in a friend who needs fast tomes.

    Except if you are helping people without anything for your own personal gain, effectiveness is a moot point. These are people sniping bosses in dungeon, so that all they have to do is go up to the last boss, down it, get their tomes/weekly CT loot, and get out.
