I agree, but there are good players who dont jump into dungeons undergeared even if they do Fates, I didn't spam Fates on my first job all the way to 50 like most, I actually did quests, repeated dungeons and made an effort to spend allowances to grab current level gear, there are so many ways to get updated, choose the armor reward from quests, etc.

Granted there are a lot of bad players, they know who they are, but hey, you find these in every MMO. There is nothing we can do about them.

***Here is the kicker, when doing pick-ups for Relic drops, DO NOT TAKE PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE MORE THAN 4 PIECES OF DARKLIGHT GEAR. If they didn't put in that much effort, don't take them. Also kick yourself out of the party if you- yourself don't have at least 4 pieces. Shame on you. End-game progression should enforce this mentality so that no scrubs reach end game by leeching.
