About damage essences in Delubrum/Dalriada

[KhayleZerker]

What's the sentiment around always having damage essences ready for pug parties in Delubrum Reginae/Dalriada?

I've been called lazy, dumb, and someone said I had "you don't pay my sub" energy because I don't want to sink Gil or Bozjan clusters into buying fragments. I've almost finished my first relic and I've simply used up the few damage increase essences I had! Swapped jobs to healer/tank when my main, Ninja, didn't have any damage essences left. I then depleted them all for healers/tanks too. I did buy around 35 fragments with 150k Gil to get the skirmisher essence, and I got a whopping 0. The bozjan clusters are being saved up for the expensive mount.

Someone in /shout chat in Dalriada complained that the run was slow because of "selfish people" who didn't use essences. They then suggested to go and cluster farm for a few hours so you can buy fragments, because "you have no excuse not to be using damage essences".

My question is, since when did other people become entitled to my time? When I've ran Castrum 5 times, Delubrum 15 and Dalriada 2, meanwhile using essences whenever I possibly can, in all these raids + while farming fates/CE's in Bozja/Zadnor, it might not be so weird that I don't have them available 24/7? I don't feel like sinking my gil into the fragment roulette or use bozjan clusters, because I want that mount. I'm not gonna go out of my way to grind clusters for hours just to make your run 1 minute faster. If I have the damage essences then of course I'll use them! Like probably everyone else, I also want the run to go as fast as possible. But being hostile to others because they don't have a damage essence in a PUG is unreasonable to me. Go join a fixed party in party finder then! Everyone having a damage essence 24/7 100% of the time is just not realistic!

Thoughts?
