Vote Kick penalty

[Gabrielleblanc]

There needs to be one for players who get kicked, sick of tanks asking to be vote kicked because they don't like the dungeon they got on leveling roulette.

Agreed, sick of people asking for a "courtesy kick" in places like Mhach or Primal Fights so they don't get the 30 minute penalty. And when you refuse, they just do nothing so you HAVE to kick them, it's ridiculous. People kicked from groups should get the 30 minute penalty same as those that leave of their own accord.

This is not the first time this has been asked. And the answer is no. Because it would make abusing the votekick even worse.

[Bixillarla]

No there does not. How about those who get kicked for no good reason who are trying their best, I have been in groups where the healer and tank would kick a DPS for being too slow. If you add a penalty it will affect those who don't play as well as others who are trying their best.

I've never seen the vote kick system abused other than for people no wanting to do the dungeon. So we need a solution to two problems instead of just one.

I have. I've been trollkicked for no reason before. After said troll tried to kick someone else then accused me of doing it.

Just because you yourself have never seen the vote kick system abused doesn't mean it doesn't happen. One player's experiences doesn't equal the whole picture.

I personally have seen the vote kick abused many times over my time playing since 2.0 launch. I also have been kicked out of groups with no indication why from the others a couple of times. For people to get a 30 minute penalty to their game time on the whim of other players is a bad solution. The idea that people will be fair minded just never works because there are always jerks/trolls who will abuse the fact they can ruin another player's game time.

[Gabrielleblanc]

Like I said we need a solution for two problems rather than just the one. Because if you don't kick people when they request it they bomb the run or refuse to do anything until you kick them.

The solution to this problem is to make the game more fun and less of a slog. That's not gonna happen anytime soon though.

If they want to leave, why don't just kick them?
