    Actually, this is completely different...in fact, it's the exact opposite. Would you hire someone having all the necessary skills/knowledge to perform the job but not dressed to look the part ?

    Okay, let's play that game. I'm gonna adapt what you just said to the game itself:
    Would you stay in a party with someone who's effectively geared up to an above average degree, but cannot perform their job or rotations properly? Or would you take the guy that's maybe a bit below average gear level but can perform his job/rotations very well?

    Simply put, are you implying gear = skill? Because we all know that's just not true.

    No. NO. NO. That mentality is a large part of the problem itself, and a terrible mindset to have. Savage raid or guildhest; if you're going to be part of a team, come prepared, do your part to the fullest. "It's just duty finder" is the reason why performance and expectations are so low. People expect the worst, so they give their worst. Imagine if the opposite were true; we'd all have better experiences in the DF.

    The guy with below average gear (i.e., not properly "dressed")

    But, I admit that I didn't expect such a huge gap of damage output against SSS while still staying above the required ilvl. But, for me, the problem should that weapon is too much important compared to other pieces.

    It would be a fun experiment so test how low your weapon can get before you'd fail SSS, for the same average ilvl.

    How come we have to wait 5 minutes to kick someone?

    I tank did a countdown for Alexander normal, DPS times CD use with it, attack lands on the "start" tank yells at DPS for "not being ready" because someone else wanted to do a ready check after the countdown. Tank lets DPS in question die as they continue to flame them. Group wipes to the DPS check (OH GEE I wonder why) The DPS that died tried to do a yolo speed up attempt and use LB, tank calls out the DPS for "intentionally trying to wipe the group" Then the group does the fight again before the 5 minute timer was up.

    We shouldn't have to fight with someone for being toxic and being THE CAUSE for a wipe because people do not want to wait.

    So what I like to know is
    Why change feast for toxicity when nothing is done to PvE to fight it
    Why isn't there stricter gear checks for the DF when it is needed
    Why the kick system does not work well and easily abused.
