Disable spiritbonding in dungeons.

[Gallus]

It's ridiculous, I don't care if people want to gimp themselves when they are playing solo, but when you are in a group doing a speedrun, you aren't supposed to be wearing i50 accessories wth? I constantly see people asking in PF for i93-i94, then you see the host and his buddy go with i50 crafted accessories to spiritbond. That's just completely unacceptable. Also, I seriously don't understand people, you spend hours, days, weeks wiping over and over and over again in SCoB, week after week, until you manage to clear...and after 3 months, when you are finally full high allagan, instead, you permanently wear this i50 crafted accessories that gimp yourself at ridiculous levels. That's like earning money for 10 years for a Ferrari F50 and when you buy it, you don't use it, instead, you drive your Seat Ibiza because it consumes less fuel.

If its a pf group for an "elite" speedrun and u see someone trying to spirtibond, u tell them to stop immediately, or else u either kick them or leave if ur not the leader.

When you don't like it, you don't need to join. Their party, their rules. Comply or open up one yourself.

Just because you don't SB you want to disable others from SBing? If it's not some extreme fast paced BFSR but some normal instance, why not?

Take a chill pill and stop complaining about everything not important lol.

"sorry, you shouldn't be SBing during our speed runs" /leave

You know, to be honest, I've been trying to test the SB route in groups lately (CT and 4man dungeons)... and I have to say, it's kinda crappy. I SB way faster solo, even moreso if I group up in the open world. Unless you're trying to SB i70+ gear in CT and maybe parts of coil, there's no honestly good reason to rely on groups to bind.

Who in the heck cares if a player SB pierce of gear. If a player still does a good a job and it doesn't impact a group leave the person alone.

[Alkimi]

I don't think it's worth it in dungeons, with the exception of doing CT or Turn 3 if you have i70 gear to get rid of.

Just doing FATEs in Northen Thanalan in a party is probably the fastest way to spiritbond, and you can get Alexandrite drops on top of that (assuming you're at that stage). You can get more spitibind done from one trash mob FATE than an entire dungeon run.

[KinnisonArc]

Of course it's easier to spiritbond alone outside of dungeon, much faster with a party BUT people spiritbond in dungeon so that they can kill two chocobos with one mountain buster. (Get gil/tome/loots + spiritbond together)

Get used to it. With the new zodiac quests to get the several million gil needed for materia you're either SB'ing like crazy or buying gil.

Also, when you are seeing people requesting i94 or above and then SB all accessories, the reason is that at i94 (assuming your left side gear and weapon are good), you can go naked on the right side and still be i60+. Remember, the way that ilevel is calculated over-values accessories. Most of the stat boost (and the all important primary damage) comes from the left. This is way more than needed to have a very good run in any 4-man content, CT or main story.

As the earlier poster mentioned, SB'ing while getting your myth kills two zodiac birds with one stone - myth for alex maps, SB for gil to buy the materia.
