No, Pick Up Groups are just there to fill gaps in parties. You have to deal with whoever you get. Of course Item-Check is coming so eventually you won't have obviously undergeared people in your group, but you do have to deal with people without experience. If you want perfect members, you join an elitist endgame FC and only party with people you know. No one has to join a "progression FC" unless they want to. As much as nubs in Duty Finder upset you, they don't have to do ANYTHING you demand.
