I had a Brayflox party kick a (I think) new player at the last boss for having bad gear. The other party members knew his/her gear was bad from the very beginning, but decided to be asses and wait until the very end.
Because theres NO way you could possibly clear a place as hard as Brayflox with anything less then BiS gear. Im honestly surprised you made it as far as the final boss at all with him dragging down the party. Infact, kicking might not go far enough. That new guy should be forced to pay the subs for those other guys for a month or something. Thatd teach him not to be new. /sarcasm

With that said, if his gear was actually broken and no longer functional and he was playing a role necessary for the party to succeed then maybe a kick makes sense. But if thats the case, you dont do it at the end you do it as soon as its clear that his stuff is broke and he doesnt have backups at the important slots.
