I've never been stuck on duty finder content that has repeatedly failed due to low DPS. Maybe I'm just so awesome I make up for anybody who's low. Generally any duty finder content has failed because of lack of attention to mechanics, not DPS.

It also has a decent chance of not working because you kicked them and wasted their queue, which could just lead to them being pissed off at you and even further not caring. If it's happening consistently, they could just go on to think that the community is just full of elitist jerks.

I've already made it clear in both these parser threads that I fully believe in trying to help people get better before resorting to kicking them, and you should know that.
Right, and as I said before, though not to you, you don't matter. Even if everybody in this thread said they'd try to help before kicking (don't kid yourself, it would be a lie for at least some if everybody in this thread said it), there will be people who won't. Those are the people that matter.

PF is still random people
But at least you get control over classes and can check gear beforehand to get a better idea.

If they choose not to improve, the rest of us have no onus to carry them.
"Low DPS" is not an option on vote kick. And it never should be.

But people unwilling to improve to the point that they can complete content...don't get to complete content. How is this a bad thing?
Whose standpoint are you asking from? The person who may just want to clear content but doesn't care to be all serious about it which is why they don't bother with a static? That'd be bad for them.
From the standpoint of a person who's grouping randomly but unwilling to deal with who they randomly get? Might be okay for them.
For a company who would probably lose players if low DPS is such an all-encompassing problem because they just keep getting kicked from runs and don't see the point in continuing to pay for a game full of elitists? I think this is the most important standpoint, don't you? Remember, SE is, above all else, a company. If they start losing players due to the people trying to cleanse the casual filth out of THEIR duty roulettes, they're losing money.
