Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

It's not a free pass and be a jerk off the bat by "is this a bot?". This auto implies laziness, when the player might not even know if it's worth using. Plenty of skills become near useless after you get them. And I can totally see a noob thinking something like touch of death thinking it's not worth it anymore because the benefits of it aren't obvious.

While he could have addressed it better, I don't have any more reason to believe that the BLM in the screenshot would have responded any different regardless of how it was worded. And also, your bolded statement goes back to the players straight up not reading their tool tip, especially in the case of enochian where it's a level 54 skill and just by using it is a straight 5% damage boost. A complete disregard to pay attention to what your skills do, especially that late into the game, can't be anything but laziness or willful ignorance.

I've very rarely get that level of push back when you do it politely. And I've yet to be kicked out of a dungeon.

And I have been kicked out of (although most of the time I was going to bail anyway) for wording it as nice as possible. Like I mentioned previous, it's offensive if you take it as such. Regardless of how you word it (asking them why they're doing what they're doing, or opening up some suggestions to improve), they'll still just as likely to tell you to bugger off one way or another if they honestly do not care to improve.
