When/Why were you vote kicked?

[BubblyBoar]

Was just kicked from ST for using Eos while an WHM was in the party. I mostly do it so I can DPS without worrying about the healer being on point, cause a lot usually aren't. Was asked during the fight why I was using Eos, which I explained. Afterward, I switched to Selene anyway, just to see how it went. Low and behold, without a word as we were prepping for the next fight, I was kicked. I don't even.

The only time I've ever been kicked was because I was trying to explain to a new tank that using a macro saying, "ASSIST ME IN 5 SECONDS ON <t>!" Doesn't help as much as just marking targets, in fact it was rather annoying spam in the chat log. I was told that people just ignore the marks by the healer, to which the tank exclaimed "EXACTLY!" To which my response was something along the lines of why would people listen to your chat spam over a clear mark over a monsters head?

Okay 0_o. When we got a to a pull of mobs (the first couple mantises in Halatali), I asked how her macro would explain to other players which one of the multiple mobs with the same name was the one I should attack (knowing full well I could just use the 't' key on my keyboard). This was responded with the healer /agreeing with the tank several times in emotes along with a few hugs from the secondary (because I say so) dps while they waited out a loot roll (I passed on it) and eventually vote kicked me.

I was doing my books for SCH relic, Stone Vigil normal mode.
Tank pulls EVERYTHING and dies, says I should stop playing healer etc and that "400 heal" (was my adlo I believe) "at this level is crap".

Couldnt believe it. We wiped of course, twice because the tank refused to slow down.

Kicked (because tank in progress takes forever to replace), requeued and finished a run smoothly with a smart tank.

Was once kicked from Titan HM some months back (maybe even a year ago?) as a Black Mage. A WHM was complaining that I was apparently standing in the wrong place and I guess that was why I was kicked (they also proceeded to tell me I was a terrible BLM and etc etc). I was never hit by Weight of the Lands or Landslides. I was apparently standing somewhere the WHM didn't like me standing (which was behind them, every so often).

That has been the only time I've ever been kicked (and I'm thankful for it, honestly. One healer was new, so they were constantly knocked over the edge and the WHM was just... not good).

I have never, ever been vote kicked, thanks to my impeccable character and tendency to play the rarest role in the game.

I was kicked only once so far and that was when I went BLM for WoD but had to put my gear on manually so I forgot my Soul stone ending up being a THM.
People started insulting me in alliance chat for what kind of morron I am to go as THM after the first boss and kicked me before I could explain myself.
Funny part was that I did the highest damage still... D:

I was vote kicked during WoD because I fell asleep during the dragon fight! I had a long day at work and I guess I got too comfortable.

I've been kicked twice. Once was an in prog in WP Hard mode. I entered. I said hi, they said hi, I got kicked. Guess they were waiting for someone else?

The other time was a Sastasha HM run, First boss. Got a DRG who never used anything other then chaos thrust combo in the absolute minimum gear for the duty and a healer who refused to Esuna, and my BLM friend who came with me. Got to first boss wiped due to slimes and tail screws and All I asked was "what went wrong?" got kicked for harrassment. (according to my friend, also according to my friend they immediately left as soon as it went through so I guess it was just to avoid 30 min pen) Reported them for vote kick abuse (doubt it did anything, but at least no-one can say I didn't try) re-queued got Zodiac drop. They saved my friend and I one heck of a hellish run, but I still disapprove of vote kick abuse.

I was kicked recently during The Chrysalis.
The other healer was constantly whining about my 95 ilvl, telling me that I didn't pull my weight, despit the fact that I was the one who kept the raid alive, put up Stoneskin on the MT right before Triple Sparks (tanks never swapped, both could be killed by 2.5 Sparks), and the one who never failed at picking up the orbs/picking up slack from the new tanks on the meteors. After one wipe, the other healer called me out and got me kicked, despite all this. Just great.

I think ilvl warps people's perception of events. How that vote was won probably proves how little the other people of the group actually pay attention to things. I think this is another reason to actually have addons that can keep records of combat activity to shove in their faces.

This was my first and only kick.

I was kicked recently during The Chrysalis.

Sounds like the group lacked knowledge of the fight especially the other healer and the MT if they were not reacting to triple spark. That will drop a tank quickly if nobody is prepared. I can kinda understand inspecting people before a fight just in case somebody is wearing any weird gear or super low gear but I honestly get sick of people who treat it like a police check and inspect everyone before the fight then start calling out anyone who is just over the minimum ilvl to get in. What you should be more concerned about is that the gear they are using shows they don't understand their class. Skill and knowledge over gear. It's easy to just pick on the person with the lowest ilvl when things are going wrong instead of blame yourselves.
