How is this still a thing?

Dear SE Support,
since this is the only part of the forum that gets abit of attention here´s a big problem that should be fixed:
It´s getting very common that people join Castrum runs and then just /afk so 7 people have to work their asses off so they get those 100 free points while camping the entrance. I met this one played now 3 times always with the same shitty excuse "baby is crying 2sec afk" and he just stands there in the entrance doing nothing for hours...

How to fix: Only give people stones that actualy stood in the boss area while he got killed.

Here some proof: http://imgur.com/nHYZ1So pls get rid of those parasites.

I agree, but they could fix it so that it is like the fate system. Get a reward for participating in the clearing and damaging the boss.

However they need to also add the fix that the boss or area can not be accessed while people are in the cutscene. That way people can enjoy those if they wish and not be penalized for it.

Try to mention a vote to kick system and everyone jumps on you for it though..

Guess that "magic system" that will be abuse-proof and solve all leeching problems is still in the works, you guys defending no vote to kick WILL let me know when that is finished right?

It's not actually against any of their ToS.

All they have to do is require participation for reward.

What's with all the people glitching into the ground the past few days?

haven't seen a post about this,and cannot start a thread if someone can put this in the proper place for me TY

First time dealing with an afker today. Here's what I did. Within 10 minutes everyone left except me and Bal. Bal finally left with 68 minutes left in the instance. Yes I stayed the whole time he was there to make sure no one else showed up.

The problem is, as soon as the first guy leaves, the leecher can also leave and rejoin while the other guy has a 15min timeout...not to mention the whole grp gets fucked up and dps have to wait another 40minutes....

5 runs, 3 leechers, here is the next one http://imgur.com/QYmV23H
They should remove their whole gear and gil and let em unbanned but naked.

They really need to add a way to kick people from groups. I haven't tried any runs, but if this is what to expect...

I haven't personally experienced this, but I've noticed on my (legacy) server people are constantly (like hours) announcing groups for the high level dungeons, specifically asking for WHM, BRD, etc

Maybe if this is a continuing trend, the Tanks and Healers should form a party (eg from the same FC) and then ask for the needed DPS, since DPS always have to wait anyway.

Every single of those guys was afk from the first minute to the end (around 50 minutes) just because they know 7 people can clear the dungeon and they get their 100 stone rewards, you will notice soon enought.
