Something Needs to Be Done About Vote Kicking in Dungeons

[MarshyP]

Story
The other DPS (SAM) requested my friend (RDM) use Scatter in a new lvling dungeon. My friend is still leveling his RDM plus it's a new class so obviously he's not going to be 100% how to play it.

What upset me is the samurai didn't even explain why he should use it. They just said "Scatter please" then vote kicked him even after he used it. If my red mage friend mouthed back at the samurai I'd understand if he was kicked for harassment. I'd also understand if him not using the skill was hindering our group from clearing the dungeon. Of course it went through because the tank and samurai came in together.

I don't think the 2/3 votes = a kick (or 4/7) is very fair for reasons like this. Players that come in together will gang up on the pug(s) and if they don't like something they're doing, will kick them for a fake reason. I've also heard people being kicked out of dungeons just so that group's friend could replace them.

Without knowing too much about the job....Scatter seems to be RDMs go-too AOE spell. If your friend is playing a 50+ job they should know about AOE spells by now. (If they boosted: No excuse
. Deal with it.). If I see people single targeting when we have an AOE friendly group I tend to feel frustrated with them, and would have told them to Scatter, then passed the vote kick if they didn't listen.
