YM, YL, on the other hand is basically the opposite. The only map that's important is the one(s) that you brought, so there's no real incentive to put any effort beyond the bare minimum into other people's maps. Worse, after a while you actually start cheering for no portals or failed doors because it means you're advancing through the chore of other people's maps that much faster.
Eh, if you're doing maps specifically to get certain items it makes sense. Personally I usually just tell everyone to need unless I absolutely want something or need it for crafting, but I completely understand why others would be pissed otherwise. Only time I've ever really had issue with it was with a former friend who insisted that not only were the drops his, but also the shit that ended up in our inventories as well like the material and low quality maps. Thankfully he didn't demand the gil as well but I never ran a map with him after that - and it's part of the reason why he's no longer my friend.
