Crime & Punishment. Why have GM's that are unable or unwilling to suspend accounts?

[Penthea]

Just because more than a handful of people are experiencing something doesn't make it a major issue. It just means a lot of players don't understand when something can be easily classified as harassment or not.

Point is, it is not a minor issue, it is a widespread issue. And unless changes are done, it will continue being an issue.

Not to be mean about this but frankly SE have better things to be doing than forcing players to provide reasons for kicking or punishing those who don't.

If your thread was initially about botting and such the like, then fine you'd have a point but that was added as an afterthought. Your focus has been the salt over quietly getting kicked.

It's not game breaking and most players can just shrug it off quickly and move on. About time you do too, or make a post targetted at more serious issues like bots not being dealt with.

I've reported them in-game and got a generic response from the support desk.[

What did the response say?

[alimdia]

Well, it has been years and it's not like they don't know the vote dismiss window doesn't show all the valid reasons to kick someone, the lead GM already explained before the reason they don't add all the valid reasons to vote dismiss someone is because it would encourage people to seek loopholes, and not everything is black or white.

Instead, they keep the clear-cut cases in the vote dismiss window and the grey area ones are reviewed case by case.

Either way, if they added a "different playstyles" option to the window nothing would change about your case.

I have been playing since launch and never been booted randomly so I wouldnt call it a widespread problem. Maybe your dps was much lower then you thought and they wanted someone else.

[alimdia]

If there was a 'different playstyle' choice in the window you wouldn't know if that's what they picked, also until now the topic wasn't "I wasted my time reporting these players", don't change goalposts, your last few posts have been arguing about seeking punishments despite already being told there are many reasons not stated in the vote dismiss window.

Just let it go, move on with your life, the chance of this happening again is very slim, this is not as widespread as you think.

This really is the best thing you can do, OP. Vote Kick Abuse is not as widespread as you think it may be, especially if this is the first time it’s ever happened to you. I’ve played this game since November 2015, and only been kicked once. And, like I told you, it was a blessing, and saved me a 30-minute penalty.

Never got kicked before and the only time I remembering vote dismissing someone was a healer ast who was in the vault with a ilvl55 weapon... Managed to clear through to the last boss of the vault but the heals were not enough to save anyone included the tank who rotated CDs and used living dead. In my opinion bringing a ilvl55 wep into late HW dungeons is a little too much when ironworks itself is 120...

I think they should take the Overwatch approach if action is taken you get a notice that your report resulted in some form on action being taken. For any report, be bots, cheating etc . . .

I've been playing the game for over 2 years and I've only been kicked once before, randomly in frontlines. I guess someone thought I was a bot? I was staying with the group and fighting so idk. All that you do when stuff like that happens though is keep going. If they weren't harassing you or slandering you there's not really anything the gm can do about it.
