I suppose considering 99% of players running the dungeon do it this way, there's no way they'd punish us now.
SE might consider it an "exploit," they may not. It's certainly an abuse of poor game mechanics, and that's been enough to warrant banning before.
Considering how sac pulling was never a bannable offense in FFXI, I think you're grasping at straws. Exploiting AI mechanics - that's offense worthy, but not doing dungeon's the way a minority (albeit a bloody loud one) wish for - meh. I'd say leave as is. If people want to burn their precious gil on repairs, let them - but while we can skip huge repair bills.. I and many others wouldn't wish to have the minority's playstyle forced on us.
