Has anyone else accidentally vote kicked wrong person?

So, I was doing POTD with my friend, and the tank disconnected. I was left with two DPS. So, we decided to vote kick the tank and I was chosen to do it. I accidentally vote kicked the DPS who was active and everyone said "yes" so he went poof. Only my friend and I were left. We failed POTD. I feel so bad for accidentally kicking him. :(

I did not but I've seen other vote kick another player by mistake. What is surprising here is that people don't read! They blindly click "Yes".

Nope, because I always double check. I do the same when a Vote Kick appears if initiated by another person. Far too many people just click the box to make it disappear.

Sad but true.

Never. I always read what pops up.

No. I make damn sure I know who I'm vote kicking before I initiate a kick, though I rarely kick anyone in this game.

I was once wrongly kicked, however. It was in WoW though. I was on my Rdruid and someone said to kick the tank, who was also a druid. I assume they forgot to pay attention to which druid they were kicking.

Sounds like e-mafia to me,

"I'm not saying I'll vote kick you, but accidents happen. You understand?"

I would feel terrible if I kicked someone accidentally. I always make sure to double check everything.

I rarely vote kick, unless its apparent, and i rarely ever click yes unless its undeniable. That being said ive asked to be vote kicked before, rarely happens

I've never vote kicked wrong, but I have clicked the wrong button trying to just get it out of my face only to realize that I'd just helped the party member I'd rather lose kick the one I'd prefer to keep. I ended up quitting the party after, and now I try to be more careful about scanning over anything that randomly pops up in the middle of an instance.

i never kicked the wrong person.

but i have noticed too that people just klick yes without thinking. a few days ago they kicked a scholar in dun scaith. i asked why they have kicked him and the person who started the kick said because the scholar was afk. it's true that he was locked out of the first boss room, but he was active playing at second boss. they kicked him before ultima. the aoe shield he put on us pre pull was still there, while he said the scholar was afk...

If they didn't deserve to be kicked then I'll go with "NO"
If I'm not sure or didn't pay attention then I'll just let the timer run out.

I've had it happen a lot in 24 man content, problem in that content is we can't see what many other people are doing, so many people assume that the person is at fault if they warrented a kick.

Maybe a warning to the player if they are vote kicked for being afk. Send a window that the afk player has to click and that resets the kick timer. If they still stay afk 30 seconds later a normal afk kick can commence.

That already happens, auto-kick happens after 10 minutes, and you get a warning at 5, 7, and 9 minutes.

Edit: Oh, you meant a party kick.
