obviously it goes a lot faster with 4 ppl than solo, especially if you farm gold chests. you can have multipel jobs that cover strengths and weaknesses (NIN or WAR for procs, THF for TH or maybe some mage for time or chests in general), you can distrbute extra KIs from chests that would go to waste playing solo.
with 4 ppl it might even be not that bad but solo it's just miserable. but who convinces 3 others to spend ~4 hours of their lives towards someone elses empy in 2021...
Yes, obviously with 4 other people (technically 6, since 1 was a tri-boxer) it would go much faster.
But guess what? We did it because we wanted to help her out. Everyone who helped her out knew that A) she didn't have as much time to play as the rest of us, B) she doesn't have nearly as much gear as the rest of us a C) we all wanted to help each other, and she helps us when we ask too.
Also:
a female ofc.

Had zero to do with it. I did the
exact same thing with dudes who asked for help like this. And I will continue to help others who ask for it. She put in the effort to get to the Glavoid stage, and I wanted to help her past it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that, and you know it.
