Getting kicked randomly

Just got kicked out of ST right before the second boss for no reason.
I was a tank and was doing my job, didn't say much besides my hellos at the start.
Our group died to Scylla right before it died but that was it.

Not sure why I got kicked.

Anyway.

Other groups cannot kick you out, it was from your own group. That raid can be easily 1-tanked so your group wanted have one less member to compete with drops and you were the most sacrificable one.

Lmao! That sound so metal lol "sacrifice the tank!"

This is exactly the kind of thing that discourages me from beginning CT :/

You are missing out, sadly. Yes, there's some idiots (I mean really throw 24 people together, and even if it's only 1/20 people that are jerks, well, statistically speaking you're pretty likely to have one by that point). But the content is actually really enjoyable. Even if it's largely overgeared LotA is still one of my favourite places in the game.

Anyway hell if I know. The most likely answer, I guess, is indeed that it's a 7 man that was planning to greed a piece of loot and didn't want to run a risk of you doing so too, but hell if I know.

You sure the rest of the party weren't in the same FC? If you weren't main tanking they could have just been looking for someone to get them in.

This is why my FC has WoD Wednesdays. We even try to clear weekly then. Mind you, even with a full alliance, the tanks might start a competition and play the I-have-hate-game XD

I generally just heal whoever needs healing and raise whoever needs raising (including people from other parties), and try to ignore all of the whining and moaning going on. If my party is talkative, I'll talk with them, if not I just silently do my thing.

Usually, the runs aren't bad, it's just that when they are people feel the need to post about it.. If they get a good run, they won't say anything.

I got kicked repeatedly from a ST run by some French/German people because I didn't bother to ress the NIN who went out of his way to walk into AoE.

I just kept rejoining over and over and they kept hurling abuse at me. Was hilarious.

Specially when the NIN himself needed the tome at the end and I didn't roll on it to teach them a lesson. He raged at me and left.

I don't even need the tome.

If you really think that it's an unfair Vote Kick, you can report it as Harassment via Support & Information > Contact Us (ingame). I don't think this is "pointless" as some people who abuse the Vote Kick system really should be taught a lesson.

as said many and mroe times by GM themselves, you can report these kidnof things but they dont interfere as it is a player to player business.

Yep true

They don't interfere if it's a disagreement about play style (such as cutscene skipping, gear deemed too "low", disagreements on speed runs) but if it's something like kicking people out just so the rest of the party can get the gear, it will be followed up by the GMs.

ONLY if there was a loot on and the guy was kicked when the loot was on...if no loot they wont interfere.the only thing forbidden and sanctioned, is to kick someone when loot distribution is not over.

Kicking someone because you want someone else to replace that person is perfectly ok and Gm wont mix

Sorry to hear that happened, suckks and there are many different reasons as to why that may have happened.

Here is something someone posted a while back, can't remember who exactly, when this kicking was popular in LoTa and carried on over to ST, and now WoD.

>>> Don't roll on lewt until after the next battle starts. Know where the chests spawn so you can select yours and get the lewt to pop ASAP. <<<

It's a crappy thing to do, but it will ensure you stay in the raid. Can't get vote booted while in combat nor while the loot window is up. Again it's a crappy thing to have to do, but better than getting kicked for no reason. And of course, if the item that drops is something you can Need on, by all means do so.

This doesn't fix the problem but maybe it will help to understand how to avoid this in the future, not that you should have to.

You can't kick someone if there is loot in the treasure pool. SE patched that abuse a long time ago.

Doesn't stop people from kicking you BEFORE the chest is opened, to make sure you don't lot just in case there's something in it they want, but unless they blabber about it in chat it's VERY difficult for a GM to punish anyone. You and the GM both can speculate all you want as to WHY they kicked you, but there's not a lot of hard proof to be had...
