No votekick so people just AFK in CM for comms. Can't report them either because nothing will be done. No penalty for AFKing. It is literally 'okay' to AFK because at the end of the day that person will receive free comms for doing nothing.
How enjoyable.
AFKers in your DF?

It's getting pretty bad. It's happening about 1 out of every 3 CM runs at this point. This really needs to be addressed. Allow votekick asap please.

Blame the terrible content, making farm a story dungeon with people that experiencing the climax of the game. Instead of that it's turned into a tomes per hour grindfest.
A story dungeon should have never been a grind spot, and make something that requires skill and experienced players to beat. -

Had 7 in a row today during CM, I politely explained to my groups that I was going to leave, I refuse to carry someone who joins and goes afk.
This little gem joined us in all level 1 racial starting clothes and a level 5 axe, giving him a grand total of 2700 HP.

Even in formed groups you'll occasionally get a leecher. Apparently people don't want a vote kick because it'll be "abused". What are the chances that all 6 people will be jerks? Even if they are, I wouldn't want to stay in it anyways.
You should seriously change your HUD.Quote:

Please report them.
Nothing is being done because people don't bother reporting them, so Square Enix thinks we're all merrily finishing our instances with no incidents. So the few that do report, are treated as exceptions.
If everyone report every case of dungeon AFK, then Square Enix will realize there's a big problem.
Please do report them. -

SE plans to implement vote kick.

10-08-2013, 01:17 PMAzaradiPeople do report them. SE replies to the reports saying it's not against the rules to go afk in instances. They can't force people to play their class.Quote:

Duty Finder is like the Ifrit drop rate now...For some ppl it's terrible for almost all the time, and for others (me include) more than 90% of the time it works really well.
Wonder if being in different server got anything to do with it. -
10-08-2013, 02:23 PMAridElfI don't have any issues with my HUD so I don't see what needs to be changed, it doesn't affect anyone and it's way off topic.Quote:

what should be implamented is a counter relating to you contribution to the dungeon as fates are with contribution to the amount of tomb you get in there.
not something silly but percentage contribution should fix the afk'ers....
i dont like the sound of a vote kick that will be abused soooo much by bad groups..... -

You can be mad at the AFKers which is completely justified and say content design is no excuse for peoples' actions. However, most people will gravitate towards the path of least resistance if the system allows it. This is just how a large majority of human beings function. Smart developers would have foreseen all the issues with current CM grind that results in conflict between speed runners, story runners, and now afker grinders. This was bad developing and I think even the developers have silently realized it.

Some douchebag PLD Zero something I forgot afk'd at the start of castrum today he was pt leader, I left I hope everyone else left and he sat there for 112mins with no one.
Edit most of the time I could care less who afks but when your job is needed I will leave (Tank/Healer).
Also wont ever happen but they should make a system if you aren't active during 90% of the instance you lose 100 tomes and if you have zero you go into the negative LMAO! I wish. -
10-13-2013, 08:58 AMReiterpallaschBy leaving first you allowed him to also leave without the 15 minute penalty, able to requeue again to try it with a different group.Quote:

The problem is only getting worse.
Edit: However, when asked for feedback on the customer service of GMs via EMail, I let them know just how badly they're doing.
