There needs to be some kind of "Intentionally Uncooperative" vote kick option

[Dgsoil]

So you would be alright if there was a vote kick if someone was spirit bonding, because they are purposely lowering their stats, or what if you found out your summoner didn't have all 30 points in int, should we have a vote kick option for that too, that damned summoner not having all their stats in the right place to make your life easier?

Your comparison is terrible. It isn't correct at all, a more apt comparison would be your healer wasn't wearing a body piece. It isn't like someone going in spiritbond gear to a fight, it's someone not WEARING gear to a fight. It isn't about the stat loss per say, it's about the intention of trolling on purpose. You are OK with paladin's going into fights without shields, you've made your point already, we get it.

Stunning eruptions can also drop party dps

I only mentioned not having a shield would lower DPS because that was one of the first points YOU yourself brought up, but yes, continue playing both sides of the field to troll people, it's awesome and hilarious and you are super smart.

Do I think there should be an extra vote kick options? No. What this player was doing could be considered harassment if he was trolling and being a dick on purpose so there was already an option for it, which is what this thread is actually about in the first place. I'm done arguing semantics since this is just another thread derailed from the topic.

I was responding to someone saying the loss of the stats alone are worth kicking the paladin, that's why I brought up the fact that people spiritbond, I compared it to a belt because a belt has slightly higher stats than a shield of the same ilvl, where a chest piece is like three times the stats, that's not even close.

Once again you completely and utterly miss the point, it isn't about the stats given, it's about the choice he made of not wearing a piece of gear at all. You keep comparing stats, stats don't matter, if you are high enough ilvl to do the fight then I don't give a damn, if you come in missing pieces of gear into a fight though because you don't want to do something, that is an entirely different matter altogether. I brought up the shield increases paladin's DPS because YOU yourself said it was better for the PLD to focus on his damage.
