Vote kick option MUST be removed.

[Amiaze]

This party did not do that, and i only noticed no one was with me in the boss fight and i tried to leave but was locked out, they responded "Have fun" so i assume it was ok to solo the boss, which i successfully did, then after asking

"So why did we choose to fight the trash again?" was told "no lockouts" and i said "so?" and "just burn the boss?"

and then was told "bye" and vote kicked.

The irony here is that that dungeon is one of the most sped-through dungeons in the entire game, to the point where most people that are going in for their first time must either skip every cutscene or accept that they will be locked out of most fights because nobody will wait for them.

I'm sorry, but what I see here is that you...

-Ran ahead of your party and locked everyone out

-Somehow missed the sarcasm in "Have fun", after realizing that you were the only person out of eight fighting a boss

-Berated the party for fighting trash (I'm sorry, but your wording comes off as rude, whether you meant it to or not)

-Shrugged off the party's remark with a "So?" -- a universal word for, "I really don't care".

I 'm sorry, but just because you got kicked from three runs (one of which I honestly think you deserved, as nothing you said there made you sound like anything other than someone I wouldn't want to play with) does not mean that people should have to wait another forty five minutes in queue due to one bad egg. If that were the case, that party would have disbanded because of...you, actually.

no just no ,what if someone goes afk or disconnects? what if someone is harassing someone? people who abuse it are very few, no just no

Points 1 and 2 of yours can be reported as Vote Kick Abuse. Just note the name of the party members or include the time and name of the duty.

If players cannot work together or come to a compromise then the entire party should use:

VOTE ABANDON

In your third point, you were the only person in disagreement with the whole party though.

7 people abandon Castrum because you didn't want to run it at their pace? C'mon.

*presses "Vote Kick" on this sad,sad thread

[IveraIvalice]

No

/10char

[Zaraaraz]

Yes. People who are away from the game for 5 minutes while in duty are automatically kicked.

Vote kick is abused more than properly used.

Yes (but 10 minutes). But I've had a few times where a party member just went afk constantly (but not long enough to be disconnected) and was pretty much carried through half the dungeon, until everyone got fed up with it and vote kicked.
I simply don't understand why you start a dungeon if you, apparently, have no time to play. Go do some hunts, or level an alt, do some FATEs, leves, whatever...But don't let 3 others suffer for your lack of time to play.

Plus, there are more reasons to vote kick. Abusive language for instance. Why should a whole group disband when just one person is being an asshole.

[MysteryNotes]

So if someone goes afk or offline the whole group has to disband rather than just kicking that one person?

Exactly this.
OP, use your brain before rageposting.

If the kick function is removed, it simply makes it easier to troll others.

[Elamys]

I shouldn't be forced to abandon a duty that may have taken me a long time to queue into because you or someone else has a disagreement.

[ZombieProof]

I've never been kicked in two years.

Consider the source.

Vote kick needs to stay, but needs to be all agreed to kick in light and full party.

The vote kick system needs some more transparency. It should show WHO initiates a vote kick, so if someone really is abusing by calling it repeatedly they can be reported. Also the kickee is totally unaware when a vote kick is underway. If a vote kick is called on you and fails you have no idea about it. And if it passes you have no idea WHY you are vote kicked.

I've been kicked three times since the launch of 2.0. The first time was in Halatali Hard, right before we reached the final boss. The next two times we're I was trying to learn Turn 11, The second literally coming out of the blue right after the first wipe. I probably did make a minor mistake but what mistake that was I have no idea.

How are we supposed to improve unless we are told what we did wrong?
