I personally enjoy LSB's and don't mind not having for knowledge of them. A couple of times I have been invested in farms only to have a LSB come out near the end or last leg of the farm. I thought that was fine, on one occasion it saved me money not having to buy the LSB and on another occasion buying the LSB completed my farm and knocked off a couple of months or so of time for a fairly cheap cost. I personally find that the possibility of a LSB coming out provides a lot more flexibility in decisions on what to farm, given that LSB's can reduce the time and gear needed for farms and also allow one to acquire significant toons outside of their farming focus, in addition, to freeing up gear for use in other farms.
