We'd rather behave like a child being dragged kicking and screaming to come eat our brussel sprouts than embrace what I've been told is the easier way to choose spots for fights. Instead of you know getting into arguments about how that one person refuses to learn a different fight responsibility based off being asked to go to a different clock spot.
Gosh, Aether is so awful about picking some big name's strategy and adopting it and never budging past that strategy even when it's bad. It's so mindboggling. It's part of why I refuse to raid if I don't have a static.

On the flip side, Aether's usually pretty decent about waiting for cutscenes. Usually. Just had an Orbonne Monastery run where three or four people were in cutscenes and the whole alliance waited. I was so proud.

But that's the only time in a non-extreme/savage/TEA content I expect any sort of waiting before pulling, tbh. And as soon as everyone was inside the room, we pulled, no countdown.
