2) Humiliate him, kick him out of party or leave party?

My point being, if its a straight up dps check and who isn't pulling their weight, its not hard to tell at all. The threat meter, while not 100% accurate can be used as a rough gauge.

Now imagine this expended to the duty finder in CT where there are 24 players. People were already abusing the ready check and vote abandon system? Can you imagine the fiasco if a parser was introduced?
I can only really vouch for myself, in that I'd point out how to fix his rotation, probably a bit more bluntly than necessary but without calling names or anything. The people in my FC would likely do the same, and probably even be nicer about it. That said, the vast majority of the players are not people I can vouch for, and I know that an unfortunate number of them would do #2. On the other hand, #2 is harassment, which is a bannable offense, and I know that the GMs act on these things. I would almost be willing to deal with the stupid if it meant that we could clean up some of the more toxic members of the community. Especially if it means I can go to CT without being bombarded with childish infighting.
