It might help illuminate the other side of the argument a bit more too. *hint - The ones complaining are about the DPS checks, is the guy complaining about Rudy playing like its the Super Bowl every time hes on the field*

Nah, just those that take the hard effort of others for granted. Rudy had to work harder than anyone to accomplish what he did, he put his entire being into doing the best he could. The other guy had talent and took it for granted and put in no effort unless it was needed.

So those of us that put in the effort to clear content should not be penalized by having to carry those who think they can coast through any content just because they can. DPS checks are group checks. Yet the Healer or Tank that puts in everything they can help clear that check gets blasted, while the slacking DPS coast on by.

In short, you want the rewards? Expect to have to put in the effort yourself and quit expecting everyone else to do it for you. At some point, you have to take personal responsibility for your play. In group content, I'll do everything I can to help the group clear, but I also expect every other person in the group to be doing the same thing. Much like I would imagine any other reasonable person does.

At some point it has to become painfully clear to both those that refuse to work with anyone else like you implied, and those that take others efforts for granted like I implied, that they can no longer progress until something changes. Groups kicking people is a clear and painful solution to those refusing to work with anyone else. DPS checks are one of the few things that do make it painfully clear when someone is not putting in the effort they need to in order to clear the content.
