Obviously the main issue is proof, how do you prove you were not afk, so take screenshots if you're booted for no reason so you can show you was not afk.

Not really, the AFK is easily disproven. All MMOs I played since UO gave the GMs the ability to look at all logs around the incident, so all a GM would have to do is glance at a battle log to see the afk claim was bunk.

Don't use Duty Finder to practice tanking. You can't trust that complete strangers will be patient or even care whether you are trying to become a decent player with that class. Personally, I stop and take time to explain and teach new tanks when I can, when I can't I wish them luck and move on before it becomes a painful run. If you are going to learn, the best people to do it with are FC members that you are comfortable with, or RL friends. Patience is not inherent in MMO gaming and never will be, accept that and work around it.

Honestly nice thing about trying new things on DF is people are more prone to give you an opinion when they know they will probably never see you again ;p

maybe you are slow

That opinion, usually taking a sour note when things don't work out so well. To each their own, if DF works for you then stick with it, personally I feel more comfortable running new content or trying new things with people I'm familiar with.

I had a dps do the same thing last night in the keep while in duty roulette. . . Our tank was a bit newer in terms of being a tank but not as a player. Our dps was a +1 bard and a ruda weapon Drg. The bard and I repeatedly asked the Drg to slow down on the tank as we were all way over geared for the tank. Meaning we had to a bit play down to the tank and the tank play a bit up to us.

There were moments we provided some constructive criticism to the tank, which he took and did really well. Over all we started off a bit rocky and had some trouble at the wall bc I had to cure through and tank a bee. Again the tank being a bit under geared and our dps clearly able to burn down the wall.

OP sometimes these are the things we have to deal with in DF, its there for us when our statics or friends aren't around to still be able to progress. You did the right thing.

You probably didn't come from wow lol. Better GET USED TO IT. Thank blizzard for bringing all the xbox live kiddies into the mmo genre. Its ruined now and every game you play from here on out will be chock full of rude scrubs that use the anonymity of the web as a tool to act like a tool.

The only chance to ever be in a community driven game with mature adults is if some dev decides they want to rescuscitate the genre and put the true demographic of the genre back on the map before filling his wallet. Then a game will be created with immersion, that requires time and an investment... that is difficult and fosters teamwork, where death holds meaning. Something where the wow kiddies your referring to will either be ostracized by the entire community the minute they act like a prepubescent entitled child, or quit because its "too hard"

Im probably dreaming of better days though. Even the wow devs agree with me nowadays :( They created a monster.

I understand I told them to tank, but there's no reason to be rude when your not properly doing your job. This right here, makes me not want to tank, the fact that now people can get away with being rude, and pin the kick on someone else, for properly doing their job, while the person kicking is not.

Anyone else come across this at all today? :o

Sounds like most parties, even before votekick.

I did a Guidhiest on Daily Roulette earlier, terrible group.
Healer didnt even cast protect on the group (in end I did since i was leveling the PLD), one of the DPS just ran off and started attacking groups and continued to do so - i ended up racing him, almost considered just letting my character auto-attack to let him "tank".
We won, but I decided that would end my instanced fun for the day and finished exploring a few zones.

just let the players bee rude . its weird to police behavior in an fictional element, especially if its violent like a video game.
