1) I'm entering with crafting accessories and still perform at 100%. I tank Iron Giants flawlessly (which is something many tanks manage to fail to do with full i90) and do all of my Tank-related jobs without any problems. My DPS doesn't suffer much either, because I think a few turns ahead on what I should do. Can you prove any party I'm in will be objective worse than any party you're in just because of my spiritbonding? Are you implying LotA has such a level of gear required that SBing with minimal responsability (as in not going FULL Militia either) should be really frowned upon? Don't make me laugh.

2) Your standards for fun seem to be related to the exact reasons many groups wipe for no reason: potential for bickering.

3) Yes, because we need to break the world record everytime, right? Because a 50 minute run is totally inconceivable, only 44:50 or less are acceptable LotA runs, right?

4) The best result is one where DRG/MNK loot does not appear if no one is looking for them and people do their jobs as an alliance, not as groups fighting. This is a raid, people are meant to work together. If in the future they make a "time attack" thing using parts of LotA (like Atomos) as maps, then they are supposed to work like you suggested.
