Depends on your definition of help. I'll start off by asking them why they're wearing the wrong gear. And depending on the response we go from there. Like mention in previous posts. If the player is nice--they'll generally get a pass. Most people, and myself will tolerate a sub-par player if they're new, learning, or just trying to get by. As long as they're communicating in a reasonable sense.

The people I do kick are the ones who get incredibly defensive and toxic when asked. They're the ones who'll lace every sentence with profanity, or tell the group to 'get over it,' and expect a carry. Or again, legitimately think a stat does something it doesn't. And when confronted--defend that stance. You literally cannot help those people who refuse to be helped.

And I'm not here to coddle someone and explain it in 'simple words' for someone who's throwing profanity bombs at me or the group. It's not my job to over-extend myself to compensate for someone's terrible personality. I just kick them so they can be someone elses problem.
