And that's the very attitude that should get people banned from the game. There are tools in place for dealing with situations where the group cannot complete the content, or even where you simply don't want to complete it with that group. That's what Leave and Vote Abandon are for. It's NOT what vote-kick is for. If you use Vote Kick, a tool expressly designed for eliminating trolls who are harassing players and trying to disrupt their game, and instead use it to get rid of inexperienced or poorly geared players, or those who don't play up to your imaginary standards, then you're abusing the system and should incur punishment for that. Unfortunately, SE's reluctance to impose penalties means this abuse is almost never punished as it should be, and many people have started treating it as though it were expected and normal to harass other players this way.
