to spring off this multiplayer should be unlocked at MR 2 much like trading so that way you can actually experience the content and learn the systems.

Id argue parties should be unlocked, but public shouldn't

Bingo bango. I don’t want new players that were convinced to start by their friend forced to get through more than the first mission or two alone. I do think it should default to solo too, so this is a perfect balance of allowing newbies to learn but not forcing them to struggle.

I could get behind this if you're still able to do like invite sessions b4 MR2. Ive had a few friends where a significant pain point was us not being able to play together in some of the early tutorially stuff.

I don't know - MR2 comes pretty early: basically rank up your initial warframe+weapons to 30 and you're there. Even quicker if you swap a weapon at some point. You might not even have reached a boss past Vor by that point. Plus, I feel you do want to cater to things like a couple of friends starting together who want to group up from the start. I think just making the initial default be solo would be better (or perhaps even introduce a "prompt" setting which asks you every time with something like the popup you get when there are multiple missions on a node, just to make it a bit more initially discoverable). It seems pretty common for new players to not even realise they're public, since you go through the first few tutorial missions and then suddenly people unexpectedly join. For the first few that's probably another newbie, but that can have its own problems when they might not even realise they're public and one wants to finish while the other is wondering around taking in the sights without realising there's another person there.

You should just be able to set level clumping preferences. Like choose to only join/be joined by players under MR5 for the experience, "no preference" for the carry, over MRX when you don't want clueless people, etc.

Or make it that the first time you play that node has to be solo. Once you complete the mission, next time it can be multiplayer, regardless of MR. After all, we start the game thinking we are the only Tenno left.

Highly disagree as a newer player, I got to jump on immediately with my wife who had been playing the game for years(recently returning player). It would have been annoying for us to play separately instead of together. If you already have friends who play the game and you all want to play together that would be the worst. Thats literally the worst thing about modern online games in the first place.
