Vote Dismiss Can Only Be Used By Players Who Are Randomly Matched For A Duty?

REALLY?

Went into an AK premade to help someone in the FC, the tank gets DCed for 15 minutes and we still can't kick him?

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Someone thought this was a good idea?

Considering you don't get a penalty for leaving a fully-premade party instance and can then boot him and try again? yes, it is a good idea.

When you get to the last boss in AK with a group that takes almost the entire duration and have 17 minutes left on the timer, NO it's not a good idea. What even makes it a good idea? What is the reasoning for not being able to remove someone that's offline for 15 minutes in a premade group?

If it was a premade group, you cannot replace anyways yet. Therefore, you were SoL even if you could kick him.

The Auto-Kick doesn't take effect in fully premade instances because you cannot replace in full premades.

which is a problem. and one annoying one. hell. even in pug it's annoying not being able to replace someone from your friendslist or whatever but it's definitely an issue with a premade.

though I guess the issue is the instance-server and the data coming from different servers (the characters, that is)

I wonder how other games with cluster servers handle this. in TSW for example you could always invite whoever you wanted, no matter which server they came from

It depends upon how the data servers etc are organized. Honestly I'd love the data servers to allow cross-server friends (link it to their lodestone character id code maybe?). Then again, that could lead to cross-server moogle mail (since MM is friends only).

We stumbled across this too, and we had to abandon a not so flawless run, which made us wanna finish it so much more.. this is NOT a good idea, this will definately keep me from going in premades when I know it might be a bad one. He did not get auto kicked either.

I was going to post something, but I forgot. The OP's epic mustache has distracted and dazzled me.
