When/Why were you vote kicked?

[Caitlyn]

Got kicked as Machinist because I was the 2nd Machinist in the group.

Got kicked right before the last because. The whole group left this dungeon after my kick, for no reason. I m still wondering, what that was... .

That was the only 2 times during the last 3 years of playtime.

This will sound very silly, but bear with me.

A year ago, I joined Pharos Sirus as a Monk (I am Lalafell) after the second boss, the tank kept looking at my avatar and I think that is when he noticed that I am a Lalafell. He started sitting down and told the group that he refuses to tank for a Lalafell. At first I thought he was trolling, so I laughed toghter with the group. Then we noticed that he was not joking around. He basicly told us that they should kick me out or find a new tank. 4 minutes later, I was back in Limsa Lominsa.

As a Lalafell I am used to being called some vegetable , made fun off or being called all kind of names. But I would never have thought my ingame race could disgust someone so much that they would force the group to kick me or him out. I get why the other dps and healer kicked me out, they did not want to wait for a new tank, but I was soo disappointed that instead of standing up for me, they decided to kick me out instead. I have reported them all, but I never knew what happend with them.

So have any of you ever been kicked for playing a certain race?


PS: Before someone thinks I did bad dps or had bad gear, I was in full Ilvl120 gear and I was second on the enmity bar.

If I ever get kicked it's usually someone talking shit and just overall rude players. Then I dish it right back. In dungeons if you pull before me( I do decent large pulls depending on what DPS I get obviously more if MNK BLM SMN..etc), heal bomb me at 90% hp( fractal Minotaur boss where I really don't need healers babysitting my hp, you can DPS), and most importantly people who refuse to take advice on how to play thier job, and got the nerve to back talk you. Like bro you got that sprout on and you telling me using blizzard is the only skill you can use at 50? Foh, it's go time.
Thing is I've never been spoken to or banned by a GM about behavior so I guess
I'm not a total d bag. I'm polite with people though and I certainly don't talk about things idk myself. I might not have the DPS rotation to make it to the high percentiles,but I have basic knowledge of all my 60'd jobs and the Do's and Don't so I know what I'm talking about.

Oh and yes I've been kicked multiple times*

[FunkYeahDragons]

Only once: For doing the comets in Sohm Al correctly.

WHM and BLM wanted to place them on random sides of the room--literally sides, in the BLM's case. I tried to place them correctly as close to each other as possible at the entrance. Idiots running away from me. Wipe. Two minutes later: dismissed.

I'm sure they had fun doing things their way, though.

So have any of you ever been kicked for playing a certain race?

Wow, that's so terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that.
I've never heard anything like this on my world or data center. I can't believe people would have this mindset.

I have never even thought for a second to look differently at a player simply because of the race / job combination or just their race in general.
People should be judged based on how they are playing and if they are actually paying attention in a dungeon. And if they have manners or not.

That being said, I have initiated vote kicks on people the instant they badmouth or look down on another player in the party without a valid reason. I won't put up with people without manners and common decency. And definitely won't tolerate people constantly going afk or slowing up the party because they are chatting with their FC instead of focusing on a dungeon. Pulling mobs slowly is fine, but if people are standing around chatting every fight and not devoting their time to the dungeon they chose to join, then it's time to leave. They can come back when they are ready to play. I vote kick them in a heartbeat for being afk. (And only once has my vote not passed.)
Shape up or ship out.

EDIT for clarity: I have very very rarely vote-kicked anyone for playing "badly", unless they refuse to respond to constructive criticism. If I say to the tank "You might want to use Flash more." and they continue to not use flash, or if I say to a WHM "You might not want to use Regen until the tank has hate", and they respond by spamming Medica II and regen on every player, then I will vote kick for playing badly. I think most of the vote kicks I've initiated are for people going afk in PvP and dungeons and for badmouthing others.

But the greatest joy is about discussing lore! D: Admittedly it feels rude to kick someone for chit chatting and being social but I guess.

[Sblat7]

At the end of RR, I wanted to watch every cutscene, so rest of the group kicked me for this.

But in reality you cannot do anything if any1 remembers, cutscene follows cutscene there basically you cannot do anything

Bad desing from SE, and got kicked for care about the lore. lol

[AnimaAnimus]

I vote kick myself all the time!

Usually its when I get into roulettes with FC groups who want to mess around more than run the dungeon. Or in places like AV or DD when the tank insists on a full clear no matter what the others want.

I'm all "See ya" /leave

[Drkdays]

Can you vote kick yourself?? I doubt it but it kinda makes me wonder if adding that option would be a good thing or a really bad thing. Food for thought.
