15 Minute Duty Finder Penalty NOT LONG ENOUGH

[SDUGotenEU]

I suck at Garuda, but I have relatively good gear on my PLD DL/AF2 and they judge me to be a good player. I've wiped so many groups when I get lost in phase 2.
Well basically you can't judge a book by its cover and run if you see me in your Garuda group.

maybe we need iskillz check!

You need a minimum gear to work in a certain dungeon. Even if you are a very skillful player, a full group of ppl wearing a lv 44 weapon and AF1 gear could not beat 2nd boss of AK because you simply don't have the damage output. If you suck at the game then, of course, gear won't help.

Gear is REQUIRED to finish certain boss. Skillful player have some leeway even undergear because these players make zero mistake. For the majority of the player, unless you think you can make zero mistake, you are required to gear yourself. For example, how many people can dodge all Tumult and bombs 100% of the time for 30 mins in the fight? (taking zero damage except unavoidable AOE damage) If you are not one of those people, please gear yourself.
