    As much as this'd be cool, it was possible and heavily abused in 1.#. The hardcore players would often do this to make dungeon runs easier and it quickly became a point of derision if someone didn't have the right class for the next battle. It's great, but it's been abused before and will only result in abuse again.

    Those hardcore players, now ruining your four person dungeons. Because it's what they do.

    ...in which people, "hardcore" or otherwise, also didn't kick others from duties in the middle of runs because they didn't have certain jobs. Under 17 min dungeons did, of course, require certain setups and certain level of player skill, but those can't be compared to our current 4 person Duty Finder dungeons in any way.

    With the admittance of never doing a 1.x dungeon, I think the problem with kicking people because they don't have access to something would be worse today. The only addition I can really think of to prevent this that's in place now would be the limit on kicks per duty. Ir's not just the "elite" who would abuse this feature at its current base though. Every player has a breaking point for their impatience. Why keep waiting for a tank when you could just kick a DPS because neither one you have can tank, in hopes of getting one that could?
