thank you guys for your opinion, i fell less 'alone'..i had the same impression..i get kicked because they want a friend to finish that dgn..

i personally quit, because i don't have enough free time for do dgn with the risk to get kicked at final boss with no reason..

in my opinion, 'vote to kick' should be removed, or should only be used if someone crash for atleast 10 minutes, or go afk for atleast 5 minutes..not because 3 friends wanna kick one stranger without reason..

i report everything to blizzard after 1 minute of the fact, but i really doubt that they will do something..

(sorry bad eng)

thank you again

Hello! Sorry for your troubles with being kicked, but I just want to make sure you actually reported this to *Square Enix* and not blizzard lol.

No enrage isnt the reason. Unfortunatly theres a disgusting thing trending atm. 3 friends or fc mates or whatever, run a dungeon, and kick the 4th random person on final boss to let another friend join in progress and get his almost free poetics. They rotate who will be the 1 to join in progress and so they only have to run 75% of the dungeons. It happens rarely atm but it´s trending slowly. i´ll also quit if SE won´t be able to handle this abuse till the addon.

You are absolutely correct. I was a victim of this at least twice in the last couple of months. The first time was a group of French guys that kicked me at Fenrir, no wipes, no complaints, and SR as they requested.... before I was kicked I got a "loltank bye bye" I return to the instance, immediately dismissed, returned for the final time and I saw someone say something about my ilvl 90 boots, but I had an ilvl WAR of 105, which is a completely OP state for snowcloak. And one guy made a mistype to the chat saying that had one more try to get their friend in before I got back in a third time...

I reported them all... GM found it to be grieving, I even told him to look at my chat history to see the convo and history of what happened...

Now that was just low... Definitely sounds like an elitist to me lol...

My favorite: go through Wanderer's Palace HM, arrive at final boss after smooth, quick progress thus far, and the healer says, "hey, we need to help a friend with his daily," to which I figure he means that 2 or 3 of them need to drop out suddenly. They kick me, presumably to replace me with their friend.

^ looks like Electrowitch beat me to it.

And this happened to me in Qarn HM the other day. I was PLD for that encounter...

No, Vote to kick when not abused serves a very needed purpose. Especially for AFK, Offline, and Trolling situations
Leaving is no longer an option because the first person that leaves is punished with a 30 minute penalty.
The penalty is needed because Tanks and Healers used to abandon duties within the first 30 seconds if the dungeon that popped was not a desired dungeon [Looking at you Toto Rak]. Thus, leaving DPS with already poor queue times forced to vote abandon and queue up again for another long queue.

maybe i use the wrong 'word' , i mean, you can kick for afk (but the game need to recognize if the player was really afk, not just for motivation), or disconnected..also i will remove a malus for dps, and keeping the malus for tank and healer..

in any case, i would like to see this feature 'free kick' remove from any game..it's needed because troll can kick right now, and get's their friend in..i see 90 % of the time kick for no apparently reason, and 10 % for afk/offence, ecc ecc..

so in my opinion right now 'vote to kick' is a troll weapon,not a weapon from the party for killing troll..

Wait, they vote kicked the tank in front of the last boss? Really? Majority has to vote kick right? I'm not sure why people would be stupid enough to vote kick the tank right before the last boss and rather wait god knows how long for a replacement then just finish the dungeon.

Pull faster, OP. They can't kick if you are in combat.

Pull faster, OP. They can't kick if you are in combat.

And don't roll on items till a few seconds are left.
Sad but true
