Vote Abandoning

[Zephyros_B]

Is there a way to get rid of this function or fix it? I feel people are using it more to troll than to actually benefit others. They spam it repeatedly or use it when content is easily doable but they themselves aren't having a great time. I just spent one hour in Weeping City to have people argue over Ozma, and then vote abandon... If people need to leave, just take the 30min penalty and gtfo of my duty finders. I'll gladly wait for other people to join a party in progress. Thank you. /rantover

Vote Abandon will only work if most of the group vote to leave. I don't know exactly how they could fix it any more than that and I think it serves a valuable purpose so removing it doesn't seem like a good idea.

Frankly I don't see it used that much.

Lately i seen this function being abused:
They troll with the pop up window, they do not care if you vote no or yes, they just pop it again and again and again...

Apparently at least 12/24 people weren't having a great time either.

Still in that case it should be 12/24 people leave the instance with no penalty while the rest remain and wait to refill. Least when it comes to raids I feel those should be an exception to the vote dismiss rule of majority and every leaves. Better yet, let it be a new option.
"Vote Abandon?"
Yes / No / Stay

or something at least.

I've been in a few raids that vote abandons after the first wipe, wasting my time. I think people that vote NO should stay inside so their efforts haven't been wasted.

'Cause wiping on an easy content because of people slacking ain't cool. The fact that one people can litterally wipe the whole raid group is a real pain.
The real waste of time is doing a raid that you know it's gonna be painfull and long. Just go back in and pray for a better group.

The entire reason for vote abandon is because half the group feels that it isn't working out, and in cases like me consider it a waste of time to continue as nothing good will come of going on, staying would be silly because chances are you will spend more timing waiting for the group to refill and continuing to wipe for whatever reason caused the vote to begin with then just leaving and starting over. it's fine the way it is, you can't spam it because there is a cool down for each person using it.

There's nothing wrong with the function itself and I don't think that we need it removed. However if people would actually read before clicking "yes/no" we wouldn't have these kind of issues. Instead of swinging the ban hammer and suspending accounts for so called kindergarten offenses, you know the ones were kid A complains that kid B stabbed him with a pencil... it would make more sense investigating how many false vote kicks/abandons have been issued that day, and suspend these kind of accounts for a week. Maybe they learn to read after being offline for a little bit and it's less frustrating for others.

I get the distinct feeling when this happens it's usually tanks and healers, since they get an instant queue with no penalty if the group abandons anyway, thus losing nothing really. That said, it does take at least half the party, so in larger groups some other people have to agree as well. The tool works fine- though when someone spams it after it ceases to work the first time, I do get annoyed. That's when I weed out who it is and kick their sorry arse out myself.
