Then if your FC friends are not online, you get locked out of progress.

People might not want to do that if their own FC leaders aren't online at that time to invite them back home, locking them out of resources they need to use.

I think we need less arbitrary restrictions on this. It makes no more sense to require a light party for this than it would to water a garden or access your retainers. Diverts people from whatever they want to do in the game to make them stand in a room... stand and wait activity.
