Its a tragedy of the commons. If I'm farming for my primal weapons and a player is new, it is almost certain they will die, and if its a healer or tank, wipe the party. I have nothing to gain in staying in. Yeah you could penalize me, but can you really blame me for wanting to leave. Maybe there should be a reward for clearing wit ha first timer, like an actually relevant amount of tombs.

Personally, I find this foolish. Experience isn't a 100% reliable benchmark for skill or ability.

Example time! My very first run on HM Ifrit, there were three new people. Myself (healer), the other healer, and one of the tanks. The experienced tank took interrupt duty and gave us a brief (~30 seconds of typing, not that long for the impatient people to sit through) rundown of the fight. Despite the fact that neither I nor the other healer had anything better than AF gear and level 43/44 weapons, and the maintank was new, we had no problem keeping him up. In the end, the party wiped twice from multiple 'experienced' DPS not getting out of the way of Plumes and managing to get themselves hit by multiple Charges back to back. We succeeded on round 3, despite our 3/8 newbies handicap and having DPS who liked the feel of AoEs.
