All I can say is I told you so...... Not you specifically.
And so begins the Vote-kick abuse

At least now you need a gathering of at least 3 aholes to accomplish abuse of the system and even then they can be reported for it. -

saw this coming miles away.
One thing I learned when it comes to kick function that is not restricted to preventing people from kicking others when rolling on a loot is that the most greedy people who "want to be the Very Best that no one ever was" will always abuse it so they can catch them all. -

I was almost certain I was going to get vote kicked out of a WP group I got from Roulette last night. My Bard's average ilvl is about 64 (Toxote, Ifrit Bow, DL acc) and I was with what I assume was a premade group as they were talking pretty familiarly among themselves. They kept bitching the whole time about how long things were taking and how they should have been done with the instance by the time the first boss was dead, etc etc.
Needless to say none of them got a commendation. And I have to say I'm pretty thankful that I've never participated in a speed run of a dungeon if that's the kind of people they attract/breed. -
12-19-2013, 01:43 AMArkistaI made a thread about this same crap to the DEV like a month ago. But oh no I was over reacting...... Sucks that it was Crystal Tower gear, But just be damn lucky it wasn't something in CoB or one of the Extreme fight. My fear was trolls kicking people that joined DF, but they seem to have put a 4hr limit on kicking.Quote:

Honestly.. there were only three limitations they needed to follow for the vote-kick and i dunno if they followed any...
1. Don't allow kicks until players have been in the instance for 15min (This will force people to actually do the dungeon instead of snap-kicks)
2. Don't allow kicks during or for 3min after combat (This will stop people from kicking during a boss)
3. don't allow kicks while loot is being distributed (This will stop people from kicking if they see an item they want)
You can't stop -all- abuse, but a few key rules will much further to stopping abusive kicks than you think. -

*Prologue Music*
Once again the world might fall prey to an ancient evil,
Once again we're hurled into darkness and great upheaval!
Those who can enlist; let's unite and we'll fight together,
Until phat loot drops, then you're all noobs, it's mine, whateeeeeverrrrr! -

This scenario doesn't surprise me one bit. It why I welcome the 4 hour cooldown on the feature. And yes, it's current form is lacking because of the differences in mentalities between Japan and the US. The Japanese would have never thought about, much less ask, what someone rolled just to remove them from the lot. I've seen the worst that US players can do to a game and this doesn't even compare. This is practically par for the course at the mini putt.

Best advice is to keep your rolls a secret. I don't trust random pugs with anything. Been playing MMOs too long. Especially when it comes to loot.
