I am all with you about helping new players. But why support them even on farm/kill parties? Everybody can start a Group search on their own, setting their own conditions. If you do not meet them or do not like them, just do not join. A farm/kill party is not meant for new players and I really hope this is not already seen as Elitism.
If they look for help, they should start a Search asking for help. Then those who want to help people with training can join. I do that actually once in a while when I see T5 parties up when I remember how long I needed to get that fight done. It can actually be quite enjoying and satisfying to help some people to beat a certain phase or help them to win a fight. But it should be a choice I make and not something I am forced into because somebody gives a crap about the requirements set in the Group Search.
The problem I see is that not enough people want to spend the time looking for a training party or training for specific phases. They just hop into any party open, knowing the conditions and also knowing they do not meet the requirements but still, they join. And sadly, the 1-2 persons who should have never joined such parties take care that the people who really have it on Farm mode leave the party after a few wipes. Do the new or better said not kill experienced players care about this? Nope, they don't. They join and hope for the best (for them). You can call the people opening win/kill/farm parties elitists but ppl joining these fights without meeting the requirements are selfish at least. What's worse? Asking for people in the same boat or claiming to be something you aren't. I don't know.
And I do not think people who haven't cleared a content are bad. We all start with training but Coil is so unforgiving that you need experience in all phases several times to win it. Some learn quicker than others but bottom line is, when I want a party full of people who have downed it already, it should be possible. And since you can't bet on players beeing honest, why not ask for a Game feature to prevent it.
