On a random, slightly related note... A thing that tends to bug me with farm parties is the often-mentioned "must link drop" demand. First of all, it's not certain, even if you have more than one clear, that you ever managed to get a drop. And secondly... Now that you can link things from the chat, it's way too easy to circumvent by asking a friend/FC member to link a weapon to you, and then link that ^^;
Sure, you can go on to demand "must equip drop", but that excludes those who greedrolled on things for jobs they don't have at 50 yet just so it wouldn't be lost cos all the others went "pass" or "have it" ^^;

But anyway, that would be noticed when you get in and see the tome bonus :p Unless it's too new to have tome bonus for newcomers. And the people cheating the system would most likely get blisted for it. But it still makes me sad to see, for example, Ramuh Ex "link item" runs where I still haven't gotten a drop ^^; Excluding me from that one.

And likewise, you can have a drop and a clear... but on another job/role and have very little clue what your task is as the new role.

(Disclaimer: Sorry for rambling with possibly very little point... Am up at around 40C fever atm, which makes my brain very random)
