I stumbled across this while browsing all and thought it was going to be about math.
But, yeah, fractals are fucking nuts.
Mathematical as well as the dungeon-esques one!
This is why I usually require 3x5 fractal potions in my groups. Not only is it a very basic, relatively non-toxic requirement, but it's also good to filter out these people, usually. (sane new players still join & that is fine)
Part of me is tempted to do the same. But then again I'd have to go through all the bullshit that makes me avoid "difficult" content. Bitch at people, vote kicks, don't get enough people to agree, leave, create a new, block everyone and their mum and therefore get even less access to LFG, and so on, and so forth. Not worth it, I'll probably rather not play at all than having to be a cunt all morning just to get people to not be fucking bastards and morons.

Yes, kicking does not work. However what I do is that I don't press ready until everyone has the pots on in the Fractal Lobby. "XY Charrface I'm waiting for your potions, please pop them."
Yeah, that's already far too much shit to deal with for me to be worth the content. However, how many times do they kick YOU for blocking the group? ๐

Not once out of hundreds of groups and over 50 "I'm waiting for you friend Bearbow" occurrences.
What did happen many times is that people think I'm an idiot for writing such an lfg & merge on me thinking I'll just take it lying down.
There are a surprising number of people that just want to rush to Fractal God so much so that they don't want to waste currency on Omnipotion and regular potions & that's a crowd that overlaps a lot with the folks you were describing in your original post.
Example lfg: 'T4s. dps, qdps or aheal / 3x5 frac.pots.' I don't hate quick-heals etc, but the point is that I can only play those 3 things, so whatever support joins I can fill whatever else is needed.
I, too, would like to have the karma of a Buddha. The last time I got kicked out of my own group was when I told someone to stop switching to higher-level Swampland. (It had Afflicted.)
I often do fractals under-ARd. Why? Because I raid much more than I do fractals, so I have +5AR +5 stat infusions. There are 18 infusion slots. And it's an absolute chore to swap them, even though I have full legendary everything. And I haven't even mentioned swapping characters.
I do have 18 +9AR infusions, it's just not worth the time to equip them.
All that being said, I do NM fractals with a healer, so perfect AR is not needed. Do people really do CMs with less AR than recommended?
5 * 18 = 90 AR, for anyone wondering.
I just have an equipment slot with the AR infusions in.
