Please allow us a way to get rid of players who refuse to help.

Unfortunately the way Diadem works prevents the vote kick feature at the present time. It works (roughly) like this - the duty finder will place up to 9 parties per instance (72 people). If a player leaves there's still 9 parties there in the system's "eyes". This also means that FC airships can enter with a party of less than 8 members & not be split across any empty spaces in parties already there. The downside is that it's possible for a full Diadem to have 9 parties of only one player each if the rest leave. No help is coming as the system says the requisite 9 parties are there!

I know that's a bit of a cat's vomit explanation but hope it makes sense.

if you're not participating in the fates, you're not getting the loot from them. This might be a server thing, I've never seen anyone refuse to help out for the main mission. It's usually over in 15-20 minutes and you can AFK or leave, or do whatever you like after that. I see a very large window for abuse if kicking from diadem is allowed.

The whole Diadem is more of a mess now than it was originally. At least before you actually stayed the whole time as you wanted/needed to collect spoils. Now you can collect them in such a short space of time leaving no reason to stay in the zone except stand around.

At the very least we should have the option to take up harder challenges for bigger rewards, add in leves into the area, add grand company seals to the fates, allow chocobos in the area and give them increased exp while in the zone. Actually anything than the total snoozefest we have at the moment. Not sure what planet SE is on, when they think exciting content is sitting in a zone waiting for a rare chance at something popping up.

Something should indeed really be done for player who afk DURING the main mission.
After, we don't care, do what you want.

Do we really have to report every player who refuse to help on the main mission, get their reward and leave?
Like, seriously...
Kick should be allowed during the main mission for that kind of player.

You can afk if you have no desire to complete the primary mission and your "objective" for running Diadem is indeed the EM.

Diadem is "free for all" content and you can do absolutely anything you want. In Diadem 1.0, you could even gather from the start of you wanted.

It's a crappy move, but off they don't care about the primary missions rewards or fate grinding, their not being forced to do either of them. This is how SE designed the content, and it's working as intended.

The easy fix here is just introduce a minimum activity clause for each boss, you don't meet the limit, you don't get access to loot.

I believe Diadem is different. I remember someone reported a player afk to a GM but that player earlier stated in party chat they were waiting for emergency mission, which is allowed according to the GM.

Not cool imo but apparently valid.

Most of AFK people aren't there for loot, they are there for emergency mission. So your proposal wouldn't help much.

They should at least let us form new parties when ours break up. So many EMs we could of won if we were able to reform broken parties.
