Discrimination isn't always a bad thing, either. This is why games like Overwatch have ranked matchmaking--it sucks for a newbie to get paired with someone who plays nonstop. It sucks for someone who wants to farm something to know that every DF that pops comes with the possibility of someone hopping in without even watching the vid and expecting the fight to be easy enough to do.

If a player doesn't want to teach they shouldn't be forced to, and yet without raid finder the chances are high that they'll have to. A fight that should take ten minutes suddenly takes up to 90 and what time the player had to farm is now up, and so is the free time the player set aside to farm. So they'll go instead to party finder and pray nobody sneaks in hoping for a carry, and DF will be even more dead than RF Uncleared is, meaning people hoping to just experience the fight have even less chance of doing so.
People certain treat new players like the unwashed masses. Do you have a better analogy?

Matchmaking in competitive games is not a fair comparison. It's actually kind of the opposite in a cooperative experience. If you're inexperienced and you get put against an experienced player in Overwatch, you're going to fail (lose). But if you're inexperienced and you get paired with experienced players in a trial, you're more likely to succeed. (And if you get paired only with inexperienced people, you're less likely to succeed.)

Your interpretation of how DF and RF will affect things is based on the premise that players with clears are universally unwilling to help new players. I can't honestly say if that's true or not, since I don't do Extreme trials except with friends, but it seems pretty unlikely to me. And if there's even one person with a clear who will use DF if RF isn't available, that's still a positive for a player without a clear. I don't understand how you can argue it makes new players less likely to get a clear. At worst, it's no different.

Keep in mind the premise of the OP's request is that new players are a liability. If that's the case, why are we expecting them to get clears with each other?
