People going offline instead of leaving...

[Pantz]

I think you're completely missing the point?

The popup on the end of the player leaving would just be an extra. It would serve as nothing else than a reminder for leaving players to still leave the party. Of course with the option to click no if you're just wanting to quickly relog. That way the remaining players wouldn't even have to worry about a vote kick, and the game can directly start looking for the replacement.

And hence I made that argument of players directly switching off that computer as a flaw for that suggestion. Sure, you can add a reminder for those that choose to log off. But that solution wouldn't solve the problem when a player shuts down his computer.

Let me type it out for you step-by-step.

1) There is a reminder as you suggested when logging off.
2) Player chose to shut down pc directly and hence bypasses that reminder.
3) Remaining players still have to vote-kick. (i.e. we are back to the same problem)

See the flaw now? That is why I suggested for vote-kick on offline players to not initiate a cooldown instead.

Hence why I suggested it merely as extra... And nowhere claimed it to be an all-end solution...
