Bad gear isn't proof of lack of participation and of intentional leeching. It could be that someone is still in their gear up phase and haven't reached their desird gearset yet.
Also, I'd like to make the counterargument that a lot of peeps with good gear are players who have already maxxed out their chars and simply leech because they can and because "I had to carry others, now you carry me". This type of player exists in every single other online game I've played and is a lot more frequent than your average casual player who plays the game to enjoy it and not as a 2nd job.
Let's assume that Sega assigned you to implement the requirements for accessing some part of the game content. I can assure you that unless your requirements are the mathematical highest stats currently available, then there will be at least 1 other player who will consider your requirements to be too low and who would argue that *you* shouldn't be able to access said content, even if you are not interacting with that other player at all (different ship or whatever).
Sega's requirements aren't exactly low. Players have shown that they can complete content with a lot lower requirements than what Sega asks. Sega's requirements seem to be in fact more of a gold sink rather than a "proof of stats".
