Sure, I can solo the map, but that's not fun at all and it doesn't help the lower-geared players who need help on the boss.
True that some are selfish, but to join a map & try to grab good drops and leave is stupid-
After initial drops are set , if others have arc pets, the rare drops reset,
so if you leave you miss out on all other rare drops that do reset when new nodes spawn

That means some use energy to get less drops by leaving early, no matter how much less time it takes per run
