OP: It's annoying people painting my shed.
You: Don't paint the shed red!
OP: It wasn't being painted red, it was painted blue.
You: Don't paint the shed red, it's a bad color.
Other people: They're not talking about painting the shed red.
You: Yeah, but you still shouldn't paint the shed red.

I hope this sheds some light on this conversation. It's not about vote kicking some one watching cut scenes. But yeah, you shouldn't vote kick watching cut scenes. This is probably more humorous for me than other people. I guess that's life :)

If only their was an eject from the game button, I would of used it on them

No Eject button, but a Screen Shot and report option (which is available). Be it Tank/Healer/DPS, bad behavior comes from the one behind the screen, and must stop.

The person wants to be lazy, not doing anything? Let SE give him a few ban days. He can't complain, he will not be doing anything, so nothing's changed from his perspective.

*and about CS: I am part of those who likes to enjoy the first time, when I do the story. So when I come across someone who says 'first time' I take my time so he'll enjoy. problem arise when the 6 others are.. [name it] and skip and still proceed. sigh

Did report and got the bog standard reply :)

once you vote kick someone you can leave penalty free, just requeue.

Report him is the only way.

They need Fix the Penalties for.

1.- If you get kicked from a group. You cant Rejoin this group, the group goes unavaliable for you.

2.- If you get kicked in less 60 mins of two different groups you get a 30 mins Penatly.

3.- If you withdraw during the Ready Check for start a dungeon, you get a 30 mins penalty.

For protect to the legit players, who whitdraw because afk. Your window will start Beat and a sound will be played during 90 secs, leaving you know the duty is ready.

4.- If one person report you for harrasment in DF/Pf and a GM prove you did the harrasment.

You get a 300 Mins Penalty
recidivism 24 hours penalty. No access to the Forums and game as well
Third offense 7 Days penalty
Four offense 30 days penalty
Five offense. SE will discuss if you get perma banned or No.

You're lucky you got even that. :p

This kind of thing is going to become more prevalent now that it's becoming common knowledge that tanks and, to some extent, healers can do this. Don't know about you guys but it's been very common for me in CT lately. They think they'll just blend in but someone notices, kicks, then they come right back.

Total agree, I've stopped running CT now purely for that reason, had one last week where both tanks went afk.. In same party I might add lol.

I have never come across this problem, I hope I never do, but I feel sorry for those that do come across any player like this. Parties can manage when a DPS does this, not so much when a healer or tank does it.

But, geez, should I ever step foot into DF as tank or healer I can 100% guarantee that I would never do that to any party I'm in. It's very possible that I wouldn't be very good at tanking or healing, especially since I'd be learning the ropes, but I wouldn't stand there and do nothing at all!

I don't understand how kicked people are still able to re-join parties they were just kicked from. That should not be happening.

I'm not talking about a global ban period, just, not rejoining the same team, until the end.

Currently in a Titan Heroic mode. One of the healers decided to grief by wearing a ghost costume. The rest of the party leave and then I'm left having to wait for the vote abandon timer. The player base is toxic in this game.
