While I'm happy for you that you've had such a great experience with the community, many have not. Most of the time I do not see the feature abused, but it is abused far more often than it should be in my experience, and not just against myself. And I don't really think I'm "focusing on the negatives", I'm simply being realistic. Things are not all black and white.

Please do not assume that I am one of those "people" you're generalizing just because I bring up experiences that differ from your own. It's important to walk a mile in other peoples' shoes, to understand that things may be different for them.

And in my personal experience, the DF has shown off some of the worst players to offer that I've seen in any MMO I've played, and I've played many.

Never had this problem, also you cannot /tell in dungeons ... they probably kicked you for a reason, sounds like you are impatient, you can't wait for the tank, and threatened to pull yourself...impatient, rushing, and lack of friendly tone. I see why they kicked you.

One reason to get kicked is that 2 or all of the others are from the same linkshell or fc and they wanted to get their mate in, it's nowhere near as common as the OF can make it look like, though. It is a punishable offense to do this, and people do get punished for it, if nothing is said the whole run and the run is going smooth, there is no player dispute to defend the kick with. It's quite obvious this was the reason if you got booted at last boss.

This is still a thing?

Majority of replies to this thread is enforcing the fact that Majority of players are illogical or motivated by personal agenda.

Theres a reason why only a handful of people can be chosen to be in a managerial position, a disgusting percentage of the world can't differentiate greater equality from bias. That percentage is even more disgusting in an online game.

Because people in managerial positions are unbiased right? Most naive statement I've read this week.

People seem to not understand the idea that if something isn't broken, bad, or in error, that we don't need to be singing praise of it every 5 mins just to remind ourselves of its state. It's been clearly established that there is good in the world and that not everyone is a prick. However, this topic was brought up because those that are, have a power to abuse someone, and are doing so. This is the issue and it needs to be kept out in the open and people do need to be reminded of its existence every 5 mins so they can remember and hopefully work towards a solution to balance/'fix' it.

I was in a Haukke Manor with a really nice tank. My first run as a Bard, as I was just playing with my new Mage's Ballad.

Due to naming/shaming rules, I will refer to this tank as... Candlebutt.

His name is not really Candlebutt, and I apologize to any Candlebutts out there.

Candlebutt decided to go full-throttle "Obey Me, Bitch" mode on... I'll call the DPS Floogi.

I saw Floogi face-pull once. Candlebutt was all, "IRMAGERD, IRMAKICKAPOO U IF Y'ALL DEW DAT AH-GIN!" [Edited for anti-naming/shaming purposes]

So we're dancing our way through Maukke Hanor when, alluva sudden, Candlebutt's like, "AH WERNED YEW!" Le Kick.

I proceed to ask why Candlebutt and healer -- Shongi-Wongi -- decided to kick Floogi. Turns out Candlebutt was treating a level 30 dungeon like an effing raid!

I've been votekicked I think only twice. Both times were by the same group of a pre-made FC, but I kept coming back so they couldn't keep kicking me. I had initiated a votekick on the guy who went AFK unannounced and had been AFK on /follow for three pulls. They rejected that kick and kicked me instead. Came back, kicked me again. Came back and told them how it was.

Honestly, I find most people in this game to be intolerable with their egos in Duty Finder (check that for a second: egos in Duty Finder) and lack of personal skills. I just show up, do my job, and don't say a thing. I've never been votekicked apart from that example above. What I've found is that I just don't want to talk to most people in the DF.

They're mostly jerks, and the harder the content gets, the more of a jerk they become. You go up to Extreme primals and WoD and they're just the worst. The only reason Coil isn't terrible is because you generally do that in a pre-made.

While I don't disagree that some people abuse the system, if you are getting kicked all the time you are probably the issue. Threatening to pull ahead of the tank would probably make me vote dismiss you for harassment almost immediately. People are a dime a dozen and there is little reason to tolerate bullying.
