Do you really think this would end well?
Do you honestly suggest the alternative? You should use anima in that situation. That's the entire reason to keep anima in the game as it is.

To put it better:

"If you want to explore you should go explore"

This is what is meant by "If you don't like anima don't use it." because the main argument against it is for reasons of exploration. It's your own fault for not exploring and not immersing yourself, not SE's, not anyone else's.

If you accept a party invite and decide to explore instead of meeting up with the group you're just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. You want to explore, don't accept a party invite for experience points. You want to explore in a party, get an exploration party together. If you want to start leveling on mobs and start actually playing the game then use your anima get to what you want to do even faster.
