Roll a one million sided die. If you roll over 920,000 you can be awesome. If not, you're a part of the world and you die to FATE enemies.
Honestly, as long as they don't say 'I'm related to X NPC', or 'I'm best friends with X NPC' or 'I can drop any Primal/Dragon/etc with one hit all by myself' or whatnot, then they can be strong. Then they can be strong enough to help down a major enemy like a Primal or a dragon lieutenant. If they have the Echo or mooks to throw in front of them or anything, the Lore says it's possible, so I'm not going to tell them what they can and can't be. Not everyone wants to be the 'everyman', and saying someone is a bad roleplayer because they want to be strong is not only judgmental, but it's flat wrong. I've known many good roleplayers who've played strong characters. /shrug/ And 'strong' is also a matter of opinion and situation as well. This idea that a group of people can say 'you can only be awesome if we say so or X happens' is bad enough, but the fact people listen to it makes me even sadder. And it is policing, no matter how you spin it.
No one is saying that anyone not playing an "everyman" is a bad roleplayer. Consider your point though: People without the Echo regularly slaying primals? The first thing Ifrit does is try to Temper people, and Levi does it as a matter of desperation. Garuda does it when things get tense, too. So if you're helping to down a primal and you -don'-t have the echo, you're one of the extremely lucky people to not come out of the fight dead or a mindslave. We're discussing specifically knowing the Warrior of Light (which means you were present for one of the specific primal killings, or the MSQ) and tangentially places of power (the weekly/daily/FATEs we can't tell have any actual precedence for lore basis).
I'm not the police, no matter how you spin it.
