    Ban kicked players from instance for the remainder of said instance.

    When a person is kicked for harassment/afk/whatever other reason they have the opportunity to join again through duty finder's "Join in progress". Multiple times I have experienced a person being kicked and then sits with DF open queueing for the instance and manages to join multiple times.

    Party members can only vote to kick once every 4 hours so after 3 rejoins the griefer can just sit there afk until everybody has to abandon.

    Banning the player from entering that specific instance after being kicked will remove this common griefing tactic.

    *EDIT*

    A lot of people are misinterpreting this, so I'm going to write a quick scenario which explains the process.

    A party starts a dungeon, at some point, one is kicked. This kicked player is banned from that particular instance, which means that if they requeue with "In-progress" they cannot enter that specific party's dungeon again, but will be offered a different one. They can also choose to queue for a fresh instance of that dungeon, if they so wish.

    The ban only applies to that specific instance with that specific group of players.

    I can see why you want to do this, but an easier solution would just be to set the timer for kicking players lower to say once every 15-30 minutes, that way if the player comes back, he is only there for about 10 minutes tops before you guys can kick him again.

    But then the griefer gets to sit there AFK for ten minutes before we get to kick him again, then he rejoins and gets to afk for another ten minutes, and again and again...

    How is kicking a player for harassment abusing the system? It's using it for it's intended purpose. When the player rejoins the same instance, they just sit AFK to troll. If they are kicked again, they rejoin and afk, until nobody can kick the person anymore and are forced to abandon.

    I don't think you really read what he was trying to say. Go back and reread it again.

    You should actually read the OP. Instead of....whatever it is you're doing.

    Then why not edit his first post? I blocked him as soon as I read the statement.

    GG on assuming though.

    I wonder if it wouldn't just be possible for the 'join in progress' option to be disabled for 30 minutes after a kick, so that the person kicked is still allowed to immediately re queue they just can't re-join the same party they were previously in.
