Vote Kick griefing

[MrKusakabe]

Per SE, "playstyle differences" is a valid reason to kick someone from a group. At least half of the group thought you were a problem, so off you went.

I am sure this "half of the people"-reason is bullocks.
As soon as the kick vote comes up, it is more of a "Phew, it is not me, so I don't care" sort of thing. I disconnected and a bunch of players hit "Kick" immediately despite I was literally gone for 5 seconds (I had a mate in there). So no, I don't believe in this "They were right because they had a majority" thing as I figured out that it is not true in every game I played so far - neither League of Legends, nor Guild Wars, and I have even been in that situation myself on the GW2 forums as one of my post was deleted for sarcasm and everyone was like "Ooooh, his post has been removed, must've been very baaaad things".


Being kicked before the last boss shows he was fine for 99% of the enemies and mid-bosses before, so I consider your reasoning is flawed.

It's still half of a party in a dungeon. Why they did it is irrelevant.

Or someone just didn't roll on the items and waited out the timer, and they were only able to kick "right before the final boss". And like other stories here, we're only hearing one side, with no assurance that this wasn't embellished into a "pity the poor lazy healer" story.

1. If you were kicked, at least half of the group didn't care to keep you around.
2. You were kicked.
C: At least half of the group didn't care to keep you around.

1. A -> B
2. A
C: B

Have at it.
