As a person with Kirin I can attest that I don't accept requests from people without 100% themselves - and I know that most of my guild buddies don't either.
Its simply rational strategy - friend list space is too valuable to put useless eidos here.

This creates a "split" in player populace.

Pretty sure he was not talking about befriending them. He's talking about if you're having trouble finding a 100% eidolon to use as a support, simply run a low cost AP stage to refresh/change it until one appears. The eidolons may be hard to get but they're not hard to find as a support, even if not on your own friend list. Whether they're on your friend list doesn't matter, it can just speed things up a little.

Sorry, my mistake, obviously he meant from stranger list. However:

I've played for a ~year "as usual" before I've got mine 100%, and having 100% friend list speeds things not "a little" but a whole loads.

Even if you see them on strangers list ever so often, they are not that common. Granted, you can churn APs trying to find them - but then you will be drastically increasing your AP consumption.

Another (and less resource consuming) option is entering raids you see & no nothing. Your support list will still be reset, but you haven't spent any resource on it since you gain back the BP you spent going in. A downside of this is that you first have to find raid which isn't always granted, for example during an advent event just like now.

The problem is 1) a stage can take up to 10 minutes, 2) you need to be active for the whole time due to debuff timers, and 3) most of us need a 100% eido friend, which for some elements is hard to get. What happens to me a lot is, I just feel like semi-afking. Joining a ragor an advent on auto while I do other stuff. But then a 100% eido shows up in my friend screen, and I think "I better start GO before this 100% eido disappears." But then I can't find 10 minutes to focus on nothing but the game while I clear a stage, and GO blocks me from doing other stuff for the next 8 hours.If we could do other things while GO is active (as we can when joining raids with seed) this wouldn't be a problem.

No it's not too demanding, it's too demanding for new players!
People who have leveled all 6 grids can do GO just fine with normal Eidos and you don't need a 100% Eido as support to clear it.
But a 100% Hundo will allow you to do it faster.
However I cleared GO with off-element and "60% ele atk" Eidos.

It really depends if you have a team that can clear everything, how many grids you have leveled, if your team is good enough and so on.
But a new player shouldn't do GO at all, he can do the participant missions.

By demanding, I meant time as well as difficulty. As for your opinion that new players shouldn't do GO, well, we want to max our weps too, and gat that good loot they offer. Besides, I've been playing 3 months already so don't feel that new, and many who have played longer than me can't beat it either.

The way it works - first, you max your grid for your main team. You don't even need participation in GO for that, and certainly don't need to be able to complete GO.
After you have maxed out at least one of your teams, then you can do GO and gather that FLB mats.

Unless you have appropriately leveled team & grid, you are not expected to be able to complete GO. However, you still can get rewards from it, you just get less. E.g. I can't complete single one yet, still I've got plenty of Ori to FLB my Phoenix bow.

For me you are still a new player. I don't think you have 6 grids finished in 3 months + 6 relic weapons already.
I play 7 months already and I have for each element a relic weapon and I am working for the 2nd one for each element.
I don't really care if I have to use a 100% Eido or 60%. At the evening I will just do GO and it takes me 10-12min with ele adv and 15-18mins without.

Not really time consuming because I have to do GO only 1-3times in a week. And for the other days I will just give up or test my other teams.

.

Actually it takes me 14mins with off-ele, if I use my dark or light team.
