Fact still remains that essences are a luxury, not a necessity. People don't pentameld and show up with high level food/pots for normal raids either, even though I'm sure if you actually compared a worst and best case scenario it would be pretty dramatic. Fact is nobody owes you a bunch of extra time spent farming, or extra gil spent on external boosts. There is no "problem" to be part of; just a bunch of people who want to make demands in a DF group, instead of in a PF group like they're supposed to.
Pures in DRN are the prisoner's dilemma. If everyone (or most people) actually did their job and spent a modicum of time grinding for pures, and then showed up for DRN and blew it up, everyone would end up saving time overall.

But this attitude causes people to just show up hoping for a carry while 1 or 2 people actually carry the load, creating single DRN runs that take 5x as long as they should have and of course that makes the people who actually came prepared upset. Lest you think I'm exaggerating on 5x, with just essences and no one going completely wild Trinity Avowed kill time is around 2 minutes. I've been on DF runs that take 10+ minutes.

But, the one thing you're right about, is that's why no one who actually wants to try and play with accountability should use DF.
