People arguing that side keep trying to bring "often" into the equation. It only takes once to be abuse.

In a sane world, the lack of chat (or more obvious problems) would itself prove your case, as it should have been up to the people who kicked you to prove they had a legitimate reason for it. You shouldn't need to prove the lack of a reason. As you pointed out yourself, there were no complaints, just the kick itself.

Just the other day, I saw this happen to the arcanist in our party during a low-level roulette dungeon. All of a sudden, there was a vote-kick prompt for no apparent reason. The tank and healer must have both agreed to it though, because after I refused to agree to the kick, the arcanist was out anyway. (I was playing NIN at the time.) My best guess is that the healer was hoping to get both DPS slots filled by DoW, so he could have exclusive access to any caster gear that dropped, and the tank must have been a buddy of his to agree to it. I certainly can't think of any other reason for having kicked that arcanist from the group. He hadn't done anything disruptive and was contributing towards clearing the content (not the fastest, perhaps, but passable). I was rather glad that the replacement we got was another arcanist, so if that was the healer's plan, he didn't get his way. Still sucks for that first ACN we had, though.
