Now to take a real life example into consideration, I am part of a raid group in game. After being goaded into clearing O3S at the time with pick-up groups (by a member of the group I may add), I was scolded and even shamed within the raid chat by the leader for clearing it without them.


Anyways, steering back to the discussion in hand, I was wondering about how people felt about the idea of clearing content in your own time, without any drawback to the group? Do you take the side of clearing it all together, or feeling like each person should be fine to continue their own progression, or even a bit of both? Please let me know, I'm eager to know more and see the sides!
As a guild officer in WoW this was my recent stance:
You clear stuff on your own time: Great more practice, less errors more knowledge and possibly input on tactics that work for others and might work for us.

However: In the days of old: if you get yourself an ID/Lockout and subsequently can't clear the encounter with us, then we would not tolerate it because you would actively hinder our progress.

Not entirely sure how it works in FF but as long as you can help your group kill stuff, I find it idiotic to QQ about s/o putting in extra effort. Unless you are "Ermagawd how dumb are you, even randoms killed this faster!1". Then you deserve to get some FLAK.
