    ex·ploit
    verb
    ikˈsploit/
    1.
    make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource).
    "500 companies sprang up to exploit this new technology"
    synonyms: utilize, harness, use, make use of, turn/put to good use, make the most of, capitalize on, benefit from; informal cash in on
    "we should exploit this new technology"
    Exploit has a bad connotation, when it really shouldn't. On the point of whether it is morally correct or not, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

    On doing A10 normal or any duty 30 minutes before your raiding time. I would opine that 30 minutes is not enough time. You really need to plan for 90 minutes, and when you've planned for 90 minutes, an extra 5 waiting for someone to lot should not be a big issue.

    Sure, in normal situations 30 minutes is more than enough, but what happens when you are grouped with people who can't clear the content and not enough people want to abandon the duty? You are then left with 4 choices.

    1) Leave: take the 30 minute penalty, which delays your raid time.
    2) Ask the party to boot you. In which case, the question would be: "Why did you que for something you didn't have time to complete?" Which results in wasting the time of the 7 people in your party. I'm certain they also had raids, nodes, rl obligations, etc to consider.
    3) Fake a DC, hoping that when you come back 10 minutes later you'll have been vote kicked: You big jerk!
    4) Stay until the raid completes, further delaying your raid time.

    From your morale stand point only options 1 & 4 are viable, in which case, you have more things to worry about then an extra 5 minutes. Unless, of course, you want to be a hypocrite. Not being able to properly manage playtime is your responsibility, and not the responsibility of your peers or SE's development staff.
