    Well, no, she didn't do 1200 DPS. That's why she got kicked. I should mention this was way back when Gordias was relevant.

    Sometimes people kick for fairly silly reasons. This is often the result of lack of education, or lies. Perhaps they said the 1.2k DPS thing, but really they just wanted their healer friend to join? *shrug*.

    I know it is a different game, but I saw a WoW post recently of a mage who got kicked because the warlock couldn't control his pet.

    I've also heard of healers getting kicked for DPSing - an FC mate of mine actually had that happen to him.

    I misread it, however, I'm still highly skeptical that a healer actually got kicked because they weren't able to do more DPS than 95% of WHMs can do in 230+ gear. This is only further compounded by the fact that if the reason cited was because they couldn't do 1200 DPS, then that means the kicker had a parser going. This would mean that the kicker probably frequently uses a parser and would be very acutely aware of the fact that they've likely never ran with a healer capable of outputting more than 1k DPS in a dungeon. That's the thing about parsers, they don't exist in a vacuum where you suddenly forget the fact that no healer ever has done 1200 DPS in ilvl 200 gear.

    1 WHM on Gilgamesh broke 1200 DPS in Faust in all of 3.0 and it was in November, 3-4 months after the tier came out; thus again it's highly unlikely they had any 200 gear at that point.
