I never mind if a player is new. I won't carry them, but I'm happy to teach them and pick up some slack in a dungeon run if they're trying and actively taking friendly suggestions (as opposed to the rude bullying DF tends to lean toward.)

That said, I would still like some minimum gear requirements so I can que up for things like Garuda and know I'll have a party that at least is appropriately geared.

All of this aside, not my main issue. I'm more concerned with players who are downright toxic to everyone else's gaming experience.
The whole point aside from being rude and exploiting DF like that AFK smartass u mentioned, some endgame content is impossible to do unless u are properly equiped. For example Ifrit HM is a lvl 50 boss that is relatively easy and can be done with one or
the other way. Garuda or Titan? No frickin way thats happening from undergeared people. The DF treats both of those encounters as being the same Ifrit/Garuda/Titan while the difference could be like 5-10 levels in gear.
