I agree in a way. People generally don't understand the difficulty jump from Ifrit to Garuda because Ifrit is ridiculously easy and they get the Garuda quest right afterwards. That and the added temptation of how much better the weapon drops are people will just naturally queue for garuda minutes after killing ifrit.

My recommendation is to not do Garuda through the DF. I do however hope they add ILevel requirements for encounters Garuda and harder because I agree people should not be running end game content in gear that is clearly not made for lvl 50 content. There really is no excuse for people running around in lvl 30 gear expecting others to carry them through content, not when we all know you have plenty og gil to at the least get acceptable accessories. Call me elitist but if I see you with a lvl 30 ring or belt in Garuda I have no respect for you.

At this point I pretty much completely avoid DF especially for content passed Ifrit, it just isn't worth the wait and/or the frustration dealing with these people. With that said however I don't condone griefing these people or attacking them in chat, there is nothing wrong with giving suggestions or trying to help people but be nice about it, besides being in that situation you have to admit that you were the one that decided to use the DF too and know that anyone else could do the same.
