You can easily tell someone's skill and if they're experienced by how they perform in the instance. This has been apparent with the tougher fights such as Titan EX, Ramuh EX, Turn 5, Turn 9, Savage Coil. Worrying about whether or not they paid for their clear is therefore meaningless. If the player is bad, they're getting removed in any case lol.

In regards to your emphasis on waiting for people to join the farm or clear party, I'd rather wait 5 minutes or longer for a quality player that can 1-3 shot a fight versus wiping for hours with a clueless or "experienced" new player. In this case, there is a no win-win situation. It comes down to opportunity costs for the entire 7 other people in the party. The 100 Mythology message is the new way to filter such players, and I am glad they added it so that ninja winners or new players don't ruin the clear or farming party.

And FYI, no one does the community a favour by carrying players which you are so fond of. This actually increases the amount of bad players on your specific server who will likely end up getting blacklisted by others for being so bad.
