[Ericyu]

Player A: Hi guys im new. Explain strats please.
Player B: *initates vote kick for Player A*
Player C: *accepts*
Player D: *accepts*
System: *Player A has been kick from the duty*

Remember my advice , from tomorrow joining any random pug of any kind: take a quick screenshot when joining, and one more when near last chest. Don't tell we didn't warn

Good luck receiving an answer of your ticket, or even barely read. Yes yes, the abuser will be banned, yes.. sure..

Coil group, lacks 1 member.

Invites 1 random guy, kicks him before the chest spawns.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure people will do this. They may get reported but, I haven't known anyone to get any lengthy punishment for anything like this. My server still has many trolls that grief people. They are well known and people avoid them, but it's not like anything happens to deter them from playing. Do GM's even play this game? :P

Did no one at all pay attention to the image of the Vote Screen?



Notice here how you have to nominate a reason when accepting to kick someone?
It will be incredibly easy for a snapshot of your instance to be sent to the GM department when a vote kick goes through, and investigated for harassment. It only needs a cursory glance by a GM to see whether or not a player was in the wrong.

Did you read the last 2 post above yours?

Found my answer in patch notes. If you are kicked out not by choice you do not suffer the 30 minute lockout.

P.S. How do you delete a post you made once it is made? I've seen other posts deleted.

Don't delete posts you already did, just add an EDIT: at the end and correct yourself, for example you found the answer to your doubt/question, so you add it on the edit.

Regardless, if you wanna delete it click on edit and then a button that says delete will appear next to the others (such as applying changes etc).

Btw, don't just delete the full text imo, it's weird :P (and it causes troubles when a troll does it, but don't worry about it though xD, it's nice still not modifying much what you have already posted since people have probably already seen it.

Also for anyone who didnt read it, you do not get a time penalty if you get kicked.

Yes, i did. And they're right. There are ways that we can get people banned for improper use of the vote kick.

All i was pointing out was that the system has a built in method, that when coupled with a player report, can result in action. Hell, it can happen even if the player who got booted doesn't make the report, Since the system will have made the report anyways.

I wonder if it will be as effective as reporting a botter.

Beyond people speculating whether or not people will get punished if they abuse the system or not... which I have yet to see anyone punished for something other than RMT... but sure, let's say that the punishment will be horrible just for... yea

But! How about those people the decide your group sucks and demand to be kicked so they don't get a penalty? I don't want to use my cooldown to kick people that are just wanting to avoid that, but I suppose I'll have to. "Ermagerd I know this tank and they a baddie! I'm too leet for dis partah! Kick meh nao or I will wipe you all over and over! /tantrum" If that happens, which I'm sure will happen more often than legitimate use of it, when the afk player shows up, I probably won't be able to kick them...

/sadface

Edit: I did fail to mention the "kick for harassment" option, but really is throwing a tantrum really harassment? If they are screaming and complaining like a child to get kicked on purpose, I don't see how that they are falling under the TOS description of harassment. If you read it, you'll notice the highlights are swearing... >.>

it said that more than half of the people have to vote to kick someone. that means in a party of 4, 3 people have to be voting yes, which i dont necessarily see happening too often. will it get abused some, absolutely, but as also stated in the notes, you can be punished for abusing the system and leaving has a 30 min. wait now instead of 15. so basically you have to have 3 jerks in a party to kick out one person. will it happen? sure, but probably not at an alarming rate. we shall see!

Does it count the person being voted on though, or does it mean more than half of the people eligible to vote?

If it doesn't count the person nominated, then just 2 out of 4 members will have to vote yes in a 4 person instance for removal. I guess we'll find out when the update is over
