    One thing I never understood (I main WHM but have PLD @50 leftover from ARR), is why do dps intentionally sabotage themselves at times by pulling stuff like this? I mean, I did my time waiting in dps queue on BRD and NIN, and unless the tank was god awful - almost bot awful - I'd grin and bear it to get the thing done. It is almost like they get into a duty and forget the amount of time they've waited or, even worse, berate or don't play as a team even when almost done, potentially being kicked before even finishing. Just... think before you act, and act as you'd like people to act towards you.

    I don't understand it either...

    I've done a lot of runs lately, where I'm tanking the bosses(I'm MNK) all the time, unless I completely stop attacking for long periods of time... It's really annoying, and it shouldn't happen(even if they have slightly worse gear). But I'm not gonna try to kick them or anything... That's just a douche bag thing to do, and I would have to wait for a new tank then.

    Unless those 2 players got lucky, they would have to wait longer than it would have taken to just let the tank explain the tactics to the newcomer.

    Kick should be left to a*sholes and nobody else. I can count how many times I've initiated a kick, on one hand... and haven't voted to kick many either. Players like those 2, are examples of who should get kicked.

    The kick system is getting abused a lot, but I can't really come up with a solution for it either... It's needed for other cases, so can't exactly remove it.
