Yeah, do what you want when you're with friends or soloing, no one cares :p. A party is different because you're playing with other people who teamed up with you to level up their jobs. When I start searching for an exp party, the main reason i do this is to get exp at a fast rate. Crazy job/sub combinations have been tested dozens of times before, and there's no need for each new player to find out if a hexagon-shaped wheel works as well as a round one. If you really do want to test out such a wheel though, you shouldn't do it in a situation that makes 5 other players reach their objectives 20% slower.


I'm not saying everyone should have the same subjob and the absolutely best gear available at all times. All I'm saying is that people should use sensible gear, and subjobs that actually make the class you're playing better at what it's meant to do. Far from all of them do.
