    Imagine that you have to grind the raid for the weapon etc. Would you rather spend 10 hours doing it or 20 hours? Like killing A1 before the jump instead of after multiple jumps. If everybody does their best it gets done faster and then people are left with free time to do other things.

    If we talk about grades... Now thins is interesting. Grades come with report cards, sometimes even with the whole class knowing how well who did.

    Fps games usually have these neet statistics that show how good you are. What if each player's search info showed how well they did in the raid? Could be damage done, could be also clear time etc. I can imagine this could open or close many doors to farm parties.

    I really doubt you could really pass DPS checks with a whole team doing half the damage output expected by the leader, thus needing twice the time. And considering that you can't really "farm" savage, you wouldn't end in that situation (Since, right now, why would you want to farm Gordias Savage, since Midas normal drops better gear). And also, when you enter a savage party, you don't know what you will drop, so you could have your weapon faster even without a lesser group, just by being lucky.

    So, if you take into account the RNG drop, the weekly lockout, and all other tidbits that could change your farm time, like phone calls, cigarette breaks or whatever, in the long run, it's not that big of a deal. You could also end with a lesser player, but much more enjoyable person, making the run as a whole more fun, etc...

    Keep in mind that I'm still talking about players who do enough to clear the raid, not people who would screw mechanics or do so little damage that you would wipe on enrage.

    I still see the FPS community not as a really great example to follow, sorry.
