First off all why should the bigger group adjust to the minority? One two persons can do what ever they want to screw with the others, mean while the others should just suck it up?
Second off all, People are already doing that. But if only gathers would do the same there would be no problem. Instead, once again as for my own experience, 80%+ keeps lotting on items while gathering,

Don't tell me 6-7 people should make a PF cause one of the other players are selfish right?
if you join a GROUP in DF, you work together, Not go off on your own and do what ever you want. Try that in a dungeon and see how well that works, You'll be booted before you know it. Luckly for these kind of people we can't boot people out of Diadem as of yet. Cause this was the first thing i checked when i noticed this kind of behaviour of the "Gathers" when i chose to gather the last 5-10/15 minutes i do not lot for any pieces of gear. Unless a star pops and i quickly change back to help the PT out.
