I understand where you are coming from with materia becoming the new standard of "good gear", but I'm asking why people just refuse to wear the bare minimum. Would you expect people to be happy if you went to their ifrit run wearing no accessories, and half of your gear is broken? Maybe people are having their levels handed to them so easily that they expect their rank 50 gear to be the same. I just don't know why everyone I group with just seems to not give a damn what so ever.

Look the gear doesnt make the players....ive been into cutter'cry this morning with a /shout Party. pepeol look great, with some good gear, but it turn into a massacre. totally chaotic, then me and my LS went into Ifrit and Moogle tottaly naked with no gear and clear the things easy......the gear doesnt make you a good players!

So if you made a pick up group for something and one of your members is wearing nothing in his accessories slots, and his other gear is out of date, or even non existant, you would view him as a either A: deadweight, or B: a badass? I understand that a group of friends who know how to communicate with one another can achieve feats even against many odds, but I'm refering to the general populace. Put yourself in my place. I'm trying to do an ifrit run and nobody is on in my LS. I need to pug him if I want to do ifrit at all that night. I get people in my group that if it wasn't for AF gear being in the game it would seem that they were walking out of a level one zone with their starter gear on. How would you feel being in a group with a bunch of individuals that don't even care to even try one bit? You want to be there, you want to kill the boss, you want to feel like you accomplished something with your time, and you are only hindered by individuals that don't care, and just want free gear thrown their way, with little to no effort put in at all by them.

Hello? You there? Anyone? Anything up there? Nothing in that peanut brain? I hope Chris Benoit comes back from the dead and puts you in a figure four leglock, then proceeds to spinebuster you, then finishes you off with the crippler cross face until you smother.
