Just remember that your advice may not always be the best answer.

You are free to give your advice, but you should know when to stop forcing something if someone just has another (acceptable) way to do it.

For this ring example, it could go something like this:

"Hey, did you know you have a low level ring equipped?"
"Yeah, I'll get another for free eventually in the dungeons, so I'm good with it."

...this is an acceptable answer.
It may not be optimal as far as DPS for that dungeon goes, and it may not be to your liking... but, really, it's hardly affecting the party at all and isn't that big of a deal and they're aware of it and they're solution is also acceptable.

So there's no reason to kick anyone here, just roll your eyes (not in text chat... ) and finish the dungeon.

Of course, if they get all mad and insult you back or something... then feel free (and rightful) to kick them.

The situation can be different as well...
In doing leveling dungeons from 50-to-60+... you'll reach a point where you finish the 59 dungeon and can queue for the 61 dungeon without upgrading your gear.
Again, it's true they could say "well, I'll pick up the gear from leveling dungeons again anyway, so I'm good..." as a defense, but this is not acceptable in this situation.

In this situation, the gear difference from 59-to-61 (the entire HW expansion) is so great that the player is a huge detriment to the party. In this situation it's quite acceptable to explain how they can get better gear (Poetics tomes in Idylshire or 60 dungeons) and prolong the discussion. Hopefully they'll say something like "oh, really? I'll look into that as soon as I'm done!" and you won't have to kick them. But kicking them in this situation is much more reasonable than kicking someone using a 36-ring in a 50-dungeon.

TL/DR - It's all situational, just think before you kick or assume you're right.
