KICKED!!

Total random but I would like to say Ive never experienced such thing in this game. Ive always met nice people but tonight I was with the worst group in my party. The tank marked ignore on me because I missed the first boss because I was busy texting. Yes it showed I was paying attention to the game. I then marked him with X at every boss and he got upset and made a big fuss saying the alliance to go without him. Then he was afk and did nothing, me on the other hand was attacking the boss and supporting my party as a BRD. He isn't tanking no more. Other alliance was telling us to kick him but my party ended up kicking me instead? Why?
Ive never met such a cry baby over a mark. Either has my party but somehow they voted to kick me at the end. :confused::confused::confused:

My guess the duche started the vote kick on you.... and everyone thought it was him just to get it out of the way... i've seen it multiple times... I've mistakenly done that myself... did that to a friend once by accident since then i've payed attention to who's getting the vote to kick

At least it wasn't a Mentor......

I guess he dind't hit the mark

While the tank did act inappropriately, so did you. If you're going to queue for content, you shouldn't be texting and doing other stuff.

This.... From OP's post I feel like both the tank and OP were just as bad as each other. This could have all been avoided if you didn't escalate the behavior. Just ignore the mark, let the tank have their whine and do your job.

While he was quite rude, you did antagonize it with marking him every boss.

Are you a botanist? Cause you reap what you sow.

2 wrongs dont make a right.. yea he was the instigator but your not without blame aswell

Welcome to 24man! Do what I do, turn off chat and think of everyone as a npc ^^ they never do what you want so why think about it =^_^=

I'm not really sure why you would feel that you didn't deserve a kick but he did?

Was his response good for the group? No. However the entire issue started from your negligence to the group and then your continued bad behavior by instigating him with the mark.

As some others have said, I don't think you've the right to complain. When you sign up for something your attention should be on the dungeon/raid/whatever when you get into it; not texting.

Could the tank have handled it better? Yes most definitely. However you chose to make it worse instead of simply removing the mark from yourself and just apologizing for missing the boss. If the tank continued at that point, then it would be fully on him. The reason behind your kick over the tanks was likely due to you provoking him into not doing anything, so they probably saw you as the more detrimental one to their group. Just my thoughts on the matter.

As a general rule, I'd be upset over someone missing a boss cutoff because they were texting. When you're playing with other people, it's only polite to pay attention to the game - certainly prioritizing it over something as trivial as a text message. If you DO have to vanish for a period of time, it should be for something important and you should clearly let them know. It's rude to do otherwise.

To be sure, the tank was a bit petty by marking you, but to escalate it in return when you were originally in the wrong (deeply in the wrong, in my estimation), definitely makes it kick-worthy.

I remember this one great time in Final Steps of Faith (8 man) where 2 people were being jerks and blaming the tanks for a wipe, and everyone knew exactly who needed to be kicked- the people who were raging and being salty! We vote kicked them and got new people and went on to clear the content.

Classy

There's always a deluded moron with the child attitude of 12 who likes to control things. Just ignore and do the stance again.

The tank was childish for behaving the way he did marking you, but he was right to be annoyed if you were texting and missed a boss. If it is an emergancy sure just quick in /p say sorry important rl thing brb or whatever, do your thing. Everyone is happy.

By marking him every boss fight you antagonised him into doing nothing. You were just as childish as he was. Two wrongs do not make a right, next time, be the bigger man or woman. Ignore the fool and carry on. Or try a vote kick if they are being majorly unpleasant.
