I meant to add that I’d take someone with a lower gear score, a mic and decent conversation skills any day over somone with a high score, no mic or zero conversation skills.. I don’t mind missions taking longer due to carrying someone a little if everyone is having a laugh and plenty of banter..

The way to do it is to start the mission yourself and let people join your group, then you’re the leader and no one can kick you, although people may leave if they think your score is too low.
