Personally, I rarely even check other players' gear (aside from glamour curiosity) and just worry about myself. I slot Materia for myself because I want to contribute as much as I can, but I don't feel the need to chastise other players who don't. If another player is causing problems with completing the content, then it is more likely how they are playing the job than whether or not they have materia in their gear.
Not about failing or succeeding. Time is something we all have in limited supply.
