It's understanble why they would check the colored numbers as you have nothing to back-up any experience.

Their argument may be against ToS, but even without the colored number arguments, I would look for a better candidate.
You may want to gain experience through UCOB/UWU/TEA before aiming at DSR.
But there is another issue, a relatively new player might still be good, but getting into a group can be difficult since all of them look for that same experience. Which you can barely get if barely anyone plays the required content (let alone that you need to beat it with randoms because of them). I have tried many times to even get into extremes, but after queues of 30 minutes still couldnt get in (as a healer if thats relevant).

How can you prove things if you simply cannot play the content that is required as proof? The moment EW comes out, the ShB content suddenly gets a lot less attention. And for ShB, SB was a requirement. This isolates a lot of players.

This is where the issue starts. Recruitment itself should simply be better, and tools for that just have to exist to allow players to prove they are worthy.

Currently the best option is to find a discord channel that organizes these things with randoms, and even though it has a lesser chance of success, enough attempts should give you enough completions.
