This is absolutely ridiculous (DPS CHECK RANT)

This doesn't explain how I can put out more damage on my Paladin in Shield Oath than some DPS players do.

Nerf PLD! PLD DPS OP! They do moar damage than me even when I roll my face over the keyboard from left to right and not right to left! pleeze fix SE!

It will be a problem later though. Before the coil came to DF, you occasionally ran into some very cutthroat people who would kick and replace as necessary until they got the team to do the job. It became standard practice, weeded out the weak, and was kinda built into the PF etiquette of the end game raids. Once that stuff hits DF, though, it's not so easy to boot people. You can get reported for it.

I don't think kicking and replacing a problem player is cutthroat at all. If one person is Doin It Wrong™ and keeping the other seven people from achieving their shared goal (whether that be learning, clearing, or farming), then clearly either something has to give or you simply disband the party and start over. I'm all for teaching people content, but some people don't want to be taught. In order to learn to do it right first you have to admit that you were doing it wrong in the first place and there are plenty of people out there that have a serious problem with that. When you've wiped several times to the same thing despite telling someone how to do it correctly, you have to ask yourself if you think they're going to improve. Why would I bash my head against the encounter with a team that can't do the job when I could replace one person and have a team that can do it?

As far as kicking from DF goes, GM's have said in the past that a difference in playstyle is a legitimate reason to remove someone from a duty. If someone's "playstyle" is "I don't care about DPS, don't tell me how to play my class," the other seven people are perfectly within their right to vote kick if they feel that person is holding the rest of them back from completing the duty. The kicked person can report all they like but unless there was some other kind of abuse (cursing them out before kicking them, etc) I don't see how anything can really be done about it.

Roll up & down, double your damage. The keyboard is shorter that way, more rolls per second! :3

Thing is, they wouldn't have any problems kicking a tank that constantly loses enmity or a healer that cannot keep the tank alive.

I tried getting my dogs to jump up and down on the keyboard, but as they full grown Malamutes they broke they keyboard! PLEEZE SE nref Malamutes, they break my k/board when I trying to get them to dps for me! :P
