    Most people troll because it's funny. Others troll out of protest or frustration, such as tanks or healers getting sick of bad players, so they sabotage them out of spite. It's not something you can just pinpoint to the source and say "ok let's cure the problem". I report trolls in duties all the time and I usually had a GM get back to me for more details in the report.

    Also, people can't rejoin the same party if they got kicked out of the duty. That was patched in several months ago, so no worries about trolls rejoining.

    Well the bolded part is most certainly music to my ears. However, from what you're telling me, reports are the best way to go about it. In that sense, I see trolls are already being dealt with. The thing is, I notice a good number of people who are like "Kick me" so as to avoid getting the penalty, or AFKing, or disconnecting, all so they get kicked and avoid the penalty. Any ideas on how to combat those? I mean, I do feel like we're really getting somewhere here, but just a couple of things left to iron out.

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    Get through the dungeon without them, let it take ages due to the lacking DPS. And then, right before the final boss, after you've wasted all their time, THEN you kick them. The only language they understand is troll, so speak troll to them if you want them to understand.
