    Here is one quite long story, but good example of reason other ppl telling to use LB:

    So here's a player waiting on his miner to gather on unspoiled gathering nodes, while in same time DFing for WP, maybe to score some myths to do his book of atma. When that DF pops and checked that he still has to wait at least around 25 minutes before next nodes popped, he figured... oh well, think I should be able to finish 1 dungeon and make it in time to gather.

    After he went in, he realized it later that the dps in that party were a bit... slow. And since that dps is a melee, their LB should be way more effective. Unfortunately, he never used it on both mid-bosses. So... when they're on final boss dungeon and already midway with 2 lb bar ready for some time, that melee dps still hasn't used it. So, on that urge of impatient and seeing the clock ticking really close to that gather node that will popped real soon, he finally tells that melee to use that LB ASAP!

    Alas, that melee still won't LB for some reason. Then the time really ticking faster and faster, and out of desperation, that player start spamming in party chat log to "Use that LB!". Alas... till the end of the fight, that LB never went off. After exiting, he immediately changed back to miner and rushed to the scene, only to arrive 1 second late and saw that node vanished right in front of his eyes. And he curses the twelve on that melee who's so slow and unresponsive to others.

    Now, because of this, he becames to wary to DF and waiting for 1 hour node pops. Lesson's learned: multitasking is a b*tch. lol

    BTW, this story is not trying to discourage new players. Just making a point to realize that other people might have other urgent priorities, even though he/she might already prepared on such consequences should things go awry.
