Please remove "Offline" from vote dismiss and replace with auto-kick timer.

My Ps3 froze which has never happened before. I was offline for no more then 2 minutes while logging back in only to find that I was kicked from the duty. Are people really so immature that they can't wait a measly two minutes? Really? An auto kick timer of say... 5 minutes is reasonable. It doesn't keep people waiting too long and still frees up slots for replacements to jump in. Plus it takes features such as the vote dismiss out of little kids hands who shouldn't be playing with it in the first place.

There is an autokick timer and it is only a few minutes, sorry pal

They'd still kick you for another reason.

I'd kick you for playing on a ps3!

I kid. But yeah like someone said they'd just kick you for another reason. Sorry people are impatient :<

/sigh ...c'est la vie.

I've been DCed (love those random 90ks) for no more than one minute before and was kicked. I'm not sure if people vote kicked me immediately or not, but I'm pretty sure the game automatically prompts the group to kick someone if someone is DCed, no matter how long... people vote to replace you without thinking twice about it.

No there's a grace period. I was in CT the other day and someone DC'ed. The question came up to kick them and another Party member mentioned they were on Ventrilo with them and to not kick them as he was restarting his client. All told they were offline for more than a minute without automatically being kicked.

Really? I've been in situations where...

*everyone killing a boss*
*I get 90ked and bumped back to the title screen*
*I log back in immediately because I didn't even need to reset the client... am automatically outside*

I know there wasn't any other reason for people to votekick me (I'm not rude or clueless about fights so I know it had to be just because of the DC).

No it doesn't. No matter how long you're DC'd.

I think it sometime has to go with the kick... Sometime i 90k and can get back in other times I get kicked and have to log back into psn... Sometimes I get back into dungeons sometimes I don't...

They removed the autokick when they set it up to use votekick to remove offline players. The autokick was always buggy though. I was in a dungeon where it took well over 5 minutes for the DCed person to even completely DC so we could replenish. Meanwhile in CT you'd DC and be autokicked faster than you could restart your client.

You can stay in party for quite a bit (long enough to get back on in a lot of cases) so you were immediately voted out.
