HeadsUp: And Attention DEVS- Really Bad Situation ATM

[Warlyx]

another feature is that i dont want to party NEVER with a person that is in my blacklist , i guess that isnt implemented but if i have some1 blacklisted is for a reason

I agree the AFK 10-20 min auto kick with no movement or communications. (cause you aint finishing a dungeon that quick) The kick feature not gonna work it was made this way for a reason imo... weather it was to curve kicking of a player not being able to do it as good as the rest or, you and the rest VOTE well not gonna work cause you can just kick with majority = meanness, or if it you and 7 of you FC talking on TS or Skype or whatever and you team up and kick the person. I dont think that is what the Yoshimister wanted to happen hence as for now the only option you have is to leave and yes it does suck cause you gotta wait 30min to run your fav AK dungeon or any other for that matter.

I mean think about it dont you think it would have been implemented from the get go if they wanted it that way.

i play on JP server i dont tink i have ever seen such behavior but i see bad tanks but never bad players who dont do anything.

also one of the problems with kick(i am not against it) it could be miss used from premades who just kick if they see people they dont like. but thats something you will always have.

I'm on NA Legacy server and I've yet to run into this.

Anyway, the solution here is "vote-kick" if the player has not engaged in the combat before reaching a treasure chest.

Also related problem: Partially formed parties where the other person appears to be playing 2 or more characters. I've only seen this once, and I suspected as such as it was both the healer and the tank, with the same surnames and the healer was only casting party heal. This isn't too terrible except that someone could do this to prevent an auto-kick vote and get twice as many chances for loot.

If theres a kick then wouldn't people that use df for an instance they've never done before not say it was thier first time for fear of getting kicked? Then maybe you'll end up with constant wipes and confusion because no one wants to let on they don't know the dungeon or get booted. idk, just my 2 gil and one third of my posting powah...

Here's a solution -

/AFKVOTEKICK <player name>


Causes a vote box to pop up in front of each of the members of the party *except* for the player being voted on. If the entire party votes "Yes", then a box pops up in front of the AFK player that says, "Your party thinks you are AFK. Please respond or you will be booted from the party." You then have 15 seconds to click the box marked "I'm not AFK", or you get removed from the instance.

Can it be gamed? Yes. There are players who will sit and stare at the screen even though they're not actually doing anything. But it will at least force them to keep an eye on the screen, at which point they might as well be playing.

I did my ending story dungeon with a bunch of elitists. They keep asking me to skip the story which I did not and keep taunting me. They did all the boss fights without waiting. If kick feature is implemented it will be abused by 7 idiots who would vote kick ppl who stop them from rushing their dungeon.

And if it's not, you'll end up with situations like my group is in right now, with a White Mage AFK at the entrance for the first two bosses. He shows up after that, but behaves like a bot. He has thus far not said a word to any of us, and does nothing but spam Medica II and Regen. He's proceeded to pull every subsequent boss before everyone could get in. Currently half the party is sitting outside waiting because he locked us out (because we were watching cutscenes).
