Heck, votekicks in that game were a "for the lulz", had seen vote kicks pass because "I don't like blood elves" and boom, player gone just like that.
This is the first time it happens to me in FFXIV and it was PTSD triggering.

Do not get me wrong I am not trying to say you should personally feel your issue is any less important or valid in your eyes. That is not for me to say, I was just giving my two cents. Also vote kicks still happen for lulz here, and for being too slow, too quick, too fat, too round, too short, too lala, not enough lala etc . . . point being getting kicked by a random group of people will happen at times.

Overall, wish you all the best during your time playing the game the community is fairly nice, and understanding generally speaking.

Report them, and then the GM can see what the reason for you being kicked was, and if that was a lie, then they can read their personal chats to see if they are making room for a freind for a quick clear.

Also, I just want to add, you can report a player, and the GM would probably be able to see who initiated the vote-kick, and who agreed to it. So even if you did report the wrong person, I am sure the GM would figure out who the right person was, and punish them (at least, I hope they would).

There are such trolls? Not gonna be fun spamming these when the Moogle Trove event starts. I usually never touch MSQ roulette due to the unskippable CS but 10 moogle tomes per run is tempting.

Never underestimate the Greater Internet Jerkwad Theory. That said I doubt it's going to be a major issue most players will need to worry about because the devs don't take too kindly to it and thus it's pretty easy to report.

Second, this is very much reportble as abuse of the Vote Kick system. Chances are they kicked you to get their friends a fast MSQ.

This. I've even had a few of them do so with the unfortunate sliver of politeness of "sorry, but our friend needs bonus rq...". Though I never heard what happened to them, the GM was quite clear that a kick made specifically to hasten someone's progress in punishable when made at the expense of someone else's progress.

It's possible they kicked you for "play style" reasons. You might've been pulling abysmal numbers and didn't mesh with their play style (aka caring about their rotations and speed of run). While it hurts my brain thinking that some people care about a level 50s rotation, there are people out there like that. It's been confirmed/said by the devs that a clash in play style is a legitimate reason to kick someone from a party, so if that was the reason you might not find justice. This also applies to someone who likes fast runs and gets pissy at people who don't. The party can kick that pissy person because their play styles don't mesh.

There are no consequences for opening a ticket that might be invalid and the GMs will make any necessary clarifications. Most of the ToS enforcement by SE happens as a result of player reports. The last thing they would want is players thinking they could get in trouble for filing a report. If you feel it's worth your time, file a report and include as much information as possible.

I would not bother reporting them. In my 6 years (and 6 days^^) here their response was 100% "suck it up, mate".

This is probably why inprogress gets no mog tomes. No sneaking friends in right at the end. But it also means if you are doing a 4 man and a tank or healer drops might be really hard to fill.
