Mentor Players Kicking newer players from Duty Ques for low DPS

[Dement]

If the player is able to enter the dungeon via duty finder in the ilvl 150 gear (based on your example), that means he/she is wearing the proper gear, otherwise that person would be unable to enter the dungeon.

That's not even remotely true. If your tank or healer showed up in a mishmash of 150-250 gear and full DEX accessories but barely squeaked by the ilvl requirement because of those DEX accs... there's a very good chance that the dungeon wouldn't even be clearable but they'd certainly be able to enter.

Min ilvl is the bare minimum that SE thinks you should have to have a reasonable chance of clearing a dungeon. We're not talking about being over geared for speed runs, we're talking about the very bare minimum which the OP stated they exceeded by 2 ilvls so they were at the bare minimum already. Now add in that they were using VIT accessories as a BRD which is basically the same as NOT wearing any gear in those slots and they absolutely did not meet the bare minimum. Would you accept someone who showed up in a level 60 dungeon without a neckpiece, earrings and missing 1 ring? Because using accessories which don't have your stats on them is only very very slightly better.

To the OP: this was bound to happen eventually. At some point you need to slow down and work on getting yourself geared up to an acceptable gear level for even the MSQ... it ended up happening in Sohr Khai but there is at least 1 other trial and 2 other dungeons after it with an even higher ilvl requirement which you would have had to meet. Now is the time to get proper gear for the final push.

Also, as a curiosity, how did you know it was the mentor who initiated the vote kick? From the sound of your tale the mentor may have expressed displeasure in the slow DPS but it's just as likely that the other two party members initiated and executed the vote kick after you had admitted it was likely you.
