Most reasonable people are going to be uncomfortable with that kind of situation.
To be fair, you can use the in-game metrics to prove you had a reasonable need to boot someone. Was this person running around with res sickness the entire time? Were they ignoring calls? How many vuln snacks did they consume every pull? Were they using (visible) buffs as they should? Doing any of this does fall under the greenlight to kick, and no GM is going to think you did so because of ACT. Trust, if their dps is so bad that they're holding you back from a clear, then the in-game data available to players will match up with this.


If anything, making it so people can't blurt out raw dps in game for randoms is a good thing. As a veteran RL, learning to read logs was a fun and grueling task. Finding out what happened when, seeing exactly who did what and for how long.. Making sure we know how to adjust, not just as individuals, but as a team to secure our kill.

In other games it always seems to be the guy who doesn't know how to parse a log blasting his log in the pug. Yeah his deeps were enormous, but at the cost of not doing mechanics, making the healer stop dpsing to heal him, and costing us time overall. Don't have the fingers to count the people bragging about personal dps when they didn't pop a single group buff the entire instance.

ACT is fine. The people who use ACT for its purpose are fine. I just wish console users had more access to it without having to ask a friend.
