Maybe you do need a static to clear EX primals. Perhaps you're wrong about that point.
However, you are exactly right about the problem.

The problem: Others are dishonest in their ability to down content.

Your proposed solution: Put a no-bonus block in PF. However, people who got a carry-clear (many, many people, more than will be blocked by not having a bonus) will still be able to be dishonest about their ability to down content and still get into your PF.

Therefore, your proposed solution does not fix the problem.
Therefore, your proposed solution is a waste of time.

My proposed solution: You should start a static and get to know your players and form a group of known abilities to down the content you want at the pace you want.

My solution solves the problem.
Yours does not.

The notion that I have to get my static together (or find a static if I don't have one, or don't because I haven't the time for one) every time I want to clear non-Midas savage content is rather silly.
No, it's not. In fact, it's exactly what MMO games are all about.
It's reasonable and totally expected of you.
If you're not able to use the people available to you in DF or PF to down any content at a pace you want, then form a static so you can down whatever content at a pace you want.

If "forming a static is too hard," perhaps you need to rethink the content. Maybe the content is harder than you think it is. Maybe you're just not getting along with any group of people, regardless of it being a static, PF or DF.
