When/Why were you vote kicked?

The only time I remember getting vote kicked was rather recently. I got back into 14 around early January and after finishing the 3.1 story I went to do the Anima Weapon quest line. When I made it to Qarn HM, we wiped when the tank pulled the mobs in that room with the spikes near the very beginning, not really sure what happened there. So everyone respawns and we meet at the stairs outside the spike room and the healer casts protect on everyone. The tank starts running and jumping in circles for a while and I say in party chat "Maybe the tank is waiting for stoneskin," the only thing said in the dungeon outside of the opening hellos. Around half a minute after that the tank goes to pull the room again and we clear all the mobs in there no issue. As were running to the next group of mobs I find myself suddenly kicked from the dungeon without a word from anyone else.

Booted a SMN from Fractal tonight for wearing 3 incorrect accessories and obviously not having done his class quests (wasn't getting the dreadwyrm stacks from aetherflow damage). It wasn't a hard boot i explained what was going to happen and why.

Doing level 60 DR and got Neverreap

Party members were
Tank: DRK
Healer: WHM
DPS: BRD (me) & DRG

first pull took longer than usual to kill, DRG was not using Aoe.
second pull DRG died? and complained that he never died in this situation before (Aoe got him)

First boss DRG died again. All of the pulls went slow till we reached second boss.

Second boss DRG was not helping at all, took us so long to complete (lucky there were no wipes) but he did not carry anything outside of that purple ground Aoe.
After clearing second boss we kicked him.. it was too much

We move on to the last boss with only 3 members and decided to go in (we waited 3~4 minutes but not DPs showed)
Fight started and round the middle of it a DPs joined us but he was locked outside.

I was using foe and ballad to help WHM dps with me. We beat the final boss and I get all three players commendations. I gave mine to WHM for actually dpsing with me :)

On the Europe data server: Got kicked like three times so far for asking a party where two or more people were french if it was possible to talk English. Nope, not possible got a kick instead.

Better go take some French lessons!

I have never been kicked thankfully, but I have a "nasty" habit of getting lucky on harder dungeons and raids and managing to get clears with out learning all of the mechanics. XD As a result I get yelled at sometimes in chat. lel Most recently it was in Alexander fist of the father. (Normal.) I had run the raid about 6 times and was under the impression that dps were not to touch the adds that were tethered to other dps. This was not corrected until some dps and healers were having trouble with the adds and I got told to "STOP IGNORING ADDS OR GTFO!" XD

I felt real bad at the time, but eh now I know. :P (I know to be sure adds are placed properly too, just making that clear. lel)

Was kicked one time.
My door bells and it was an unexpected visit from my Mom. She thoughts i needed food. However it was ok that i got kicked :D

I actually often have 3 frenchies with me on DF. Like, daily often. I don't speak word of it, but I have my elezen alt with highlighted F and at the start of the dungeon I say "salut" and remain silent for the rest of the run. As brilliant as I like to think my camouflage is, I think they know in the end that there's something fishy since they always say thank yous and byes in english before leaving. :'D

Haven't been votekicked recently, but I recall being kicked from Void Ark awhile back for retreating instead of watching the group wipe for 10mins on Chuchulain (think it was my second time in VA?). It was pretty clear they were not going to make it, with people kicking the bucket left and right.

My spotless record finally got tainted this week and I got my first kick! <3

Low level roulette as a healer, ended up in Brayflox NM. Right from the start, not a good feeling as dps (not the tank!) ran already off while I was casting Protect.
So we made it past the first boss without too much trouble, and that's where the problems began to start. In the big room after the first boss, the tank crossed the bridge and of course I followed him, while the dps ran off on their own into those little extra rooms, where they fought tiny hordes of monsters by themselves and died. Because I was having one of my nicer days, I actually really tried to keep them alive, but there is only so much one can do without splitting into three. I got a ress off, and they died again. Got a lot of bullshit in chat for that already, of course :rolleyes:
Lovely times.
Anyway, second boss went well too, and then we got to the big open area after that. And boy did they go wild there..;)
I ended up alone with the tank in front of the boss room, desperately trying to keep him alive against the big pull of mobs because without dps, of course they didn't really go down. The dps were off on the completely opposite side of the area, in those little extra rooms again, dying by themselves again.
I was slightly amused and at the same time just kinda speechless when one of those two asked me if I'm afk. I answered: "No, I'm right here" and half a second later I stood outside my house again.
Honestly, it felt more like an achievement than a punishment :cool:
Achievement "met failing players who blame others for their mistakes" earned :D

People running off when I'm trying to do buffs is a pet hate of mine like why can't they just wait for like 10 seconds to get all the buffs at the start. Sometimes they all zoom off then stop at the first mob pack....Long silence "Protect..." JUST WAIT AT THE START AND YOU WOULD HAVE GOT IT. Also some are the opposite they'll get buffs and the SCH casts E4E on everyone and then the Tanks stand there doing nothing so it gets wasted. It's only beaten on my list by when Tanks die and then start emoting at you. Sometimes stuff happens and you die get over it.

And yes sometimes being kicked from a party is a mercy Had a couple of times in Neverreap with a bad Tank and really low DPS where something happens and I end up kicked and I'm just happy to have been thrown out the struggle bus.
