But gimping around 100-600 is just bad, not even trying, AFK. People performing this bad are not respecting the other people in the party.
    The problem is that while this is a great theory, it will fail miserably once actual people start to get involved in it. Much like the theory that putting cutscenes into dungeons would be a good idea; once other humans get involved, you find yourself in a situation where people are getting called names and vote kicked in tantrum rages simply because it is their first time in a main story scenario.

    While the INTENTION may be to weed out the ultra-bads (the ones doing less than 900DPS when they should be doing 1800), the truth is that there will always be the spoiled and socially-inept man children who will nerd-rage at anyone not doing 1600 or greater in their PUG. This sort of toxic behavior is useful to absolutely no one, and only serves to slow the run down even more than the lackluster damage dealer picking up that extra 200dps, since the group is stuck standing around waiting for the tantrum to end.

    I, as the tank or healer (whichever I happen to be playing at the time), have very little patience for this sort of thing. I would rather deal with the extra 2 minutes that loss of DPS will bring my party in relative silence and enjoyment, than have to spend 5 minutes listening to someone relieve their personal insecurities on another player of the group, as I wonder why I started playing the game in the first place.

    I do not, and never will, play a DPS class. I am always tank, or always healer. Yet despite this, part of the reason that I abandoned WoW was because of DPS meters and what the affect they had on my dungeon experiences.

    Experience a run where you're top DPS as a healer.
    Experience a run in a EU server ....

    Im not bothering myself anymore with people who DON'T WANT to play the game.
    Vote kick is the key.

    And If my dps number to kick people is higher and more stringent than your number, am I not also "getting rid of the bads"?
