When/Why were you vote kicked?

My husband does this ALL. THE. TIME. Saying that the obviously lowered geared tanks can't hold off of him, and I retort (sometimes resulting in an argument, rofl!) that the DPS job is to DPS AND manage aggro! (I am usually healing to I let him die cuz I've warned him, lolol).

I wouldn't worry about it though, just grab yourself a higher ilvl weapon and it should help alittle bit against the more geared players.

Edit: On Topic, I was vote kicked once..?? It was in a WoD, and some bard kept pulling the boss and I called it out (Mostly cuz the team they were on was name calling everyone else), then we all showed up to the boss and bam, loading screen. I wasn't sure what happened? All I said was, "It is your bard Team whatever." .... I was like ./shrug and went about my day.

I was running a dungeon as lancer (under 30) with a friend of mine as whm. Within the first 30 seconds a vote kick pops up for the other dps. No words (beyond a short hello at the start of the dungeon) were exchanged. So naturally I click no. Immediately after the tank goes "dude they're trying to kick you". Now, I'm pretty sure I didn't initiate the kick, and I'm also pretty sure my friend didn't - which means the tank did it himself. But I say nothing because I'm on PS4 and typing is a hassle while mid-battle. My friend goes back and forth with the guy about who's responsible, then the tank goes "maybe the drg did it" I tell him no, I didn't. We move on with the dungeon, then just as I'm typing in a further comment trying to make a joke, all of sudden I find myself back in Gridania. Then my friend left the dungeon too, taking the penalty, and we wished them good luck waiting for a new healer.

I got kicked from WoD where 6 from 8 of my party alliance which was made out of 6 F clients suddenly stood still and got locked out in front of first triple Garms fight.. Only me (BLM) and a healer went into battle.. A player from another alliance went raging on how could 6 players getting locked out, then i just said "They are French, they cant understand you" in alliance chat.. Then i got kicked...

Well, you desserve this if i say so ^^. I'm french and can understand (and speak) english. And i'm not an exception. Not everyone show her/his currently speaking languages in the game. The only thing you can see for sure is the actual client's install language. I could have installed my game in english (thinking about it in fact) and never show my real language in the game if i wanted to.


To stay in the subject, only kicked twice :
- first time at CT3, first boss just after the third wipe when told the entire raid to maintain the boss still and not let him to rotate on himself (best thing to do if you want to kill the raid ...). Somewhat happy for the kick anyway .
- second time, yesterday at Titan Ex (fist time for me), took some tries to aprehend/learn the actual fight, but maybe this angered the others who just want to do the "pony farm" ? Not even be sad for this, will try this primal later ...

Got kicked yesterday in Ramuh EX. Group wiped a couple times. Healer wanted to vote abandon. They got voted down. He said to kick him. We wouldn't, told him if he wanted to leave, then leave and take the lockout. Then I got kicked so he could leave without penalty.

Wait, vote kick got shot down, so did vote kicking the whm, but vote kicking you so he could dodge penalty was no problem? O.o

I'm thinking the vote was 4-3. So he initiate a vote kick on me, took away my "no" vote and added his "yes" vote.

Once by request, saying that I could stay for a few more attempts only if they kicked me so I could go to raid. (Said raid was accessed through DF.)
Another time before a perfectly smooth run, just before last boss, following a "sorry, we need to help out a friend with his daily..." It seems I was kicked to make room for said friend...
The last time because I got tired of doing over half the party's dps as healer and asked them to use more of their key tools (Maim, Heavy Thrust, Vengeance, AoEs, etc.) which was apparently more rude than I had intended. I normally don't bother commenting, but as the Darkhold run I'd just helped a friend through before was doing more dps and even just healing I was tanking most of the mobs...
So, only one real kick I guess. Other two were... escapes.

True.. But they were talking french in party chat and the player who went raging in alliance chat used english language.. While i truly understand that my wording might harass some sensitive people, the reason i wrote those words were so that alliance players who used english to just get over it.. So i wont defend myself into saying that i should deserve the kick or not.. However intentionally getting locked out and watch the fight from afar (they were chatting, so not afkers or they didnt manage to get in because the fast pull) is definitely wrong..

Only time I've ever been vote-kicked was as a Bard in WoD; just as we killed a boss, and another alliance said their tank had to brb, I set myself to follow a teammate as we ran to the next boss and said "brb 30 secs" to throw some food down for my kitty...came back maybe 45secs later, and just as I sat down, they kicked me, lol. I was so sad.

I spent this last weekend doing exactly that, only it's for a job that hasn't come out yet. I tanked Brayflox for the Calvary set to get it ready for DRK.

I was kicked once for needing on a upgrade for my Bard, but the other dps who was a level 50 with WoD gear wanted the outfit for his glamour. I won the roll, he was not happy and I got kicked. The tank was his friend and I guess the healer tought kicking me would be faster then saying NO to the vote-kick option.

EDIT: This was Brayflox normal.
