    Step 1:
    Certain players take advantage of more lenient invite requirements early in an expansion (before jadedness as the following behavior causes ilvl to be jacked inaccessibly high in hopes of at least compensating for poor performance per ilvl) to join content far above what they're prepared for.
    Step 2:
    Said players demonstrate this by doing, say, the damage typical of someone 30 item levels lower. There are enough of these players to cause a wipe to the boss's enrage.
    Step 3:
    After 2-3 wipes, at which point such could no longer be a fluke, the raid leader kicks those who are clearly underprepared.
    Step 4:
    Toxicity. Sudden and everywhere. By which we refer to the kicking, of course. Not for expecting to be carried, essentially line-cutting, or wasting others' time in doing so. Naturally. No, they were "abused". Those who want to do Heroic raids with those who could, at the least, do a bit more than would be expected from Normal raids, were the *ssholes for expecting others to follow an honor system.
