Why is leaching tolerated in MSQ roulette?

[SerLuke]

I get that its a boring duty that people have done 10 million times before, but that doesn't give people the right to afk during the Magitek mount portion or the boss fights, yet whenever this kind of behavior happens vote dismissals are almost always rejected, why? If I have to get on a Magitek mount and clear the way so should everyone else. Why are some players allowed to leach off of other people? One person even threatened to report me for bringing this up at all. I don't get it.

As I understand it, it's usually tolerated because you can only initiate vote kicks when no one's in combat. People are usually go-go-go in these instances, so there's very little time to actually dig through your menus and kick someone.

But yeah, I agree, it sucks.

Yeah I noticed alot of parties I get tend to have at least one person usually go afk after the big pull. Always kick them after Gaius though since the mobs Deagro.

They should add a mechanic where if you don't join in the boss fights you get no exp. No excuse now since you get a teleport to boss option.

Not just the boss fights but the Magitek mount part too, people need to participate instead of just afking at the bulkhead, I mean I play Super Metroid on my Switch during the cut scenes if I'm going to put that down and help clear the way, so should everyone else.

also no gil, no tomestones... maybe the completion reward should be based on the number of boss fights you participate in.

Honestly I like this idea, though it could just as easily be abused by someone going up, hitting the boss a single time, then afking again. People already abuse the boss arena teleport to not even move during LotA/ST runs and just afk in the back.

All the same, I wish there was a better way to deal with afkers than just kicking them or reporting.

Yeah you can't even kick during the Magitek part because its considered "incombat" its a frustrating situation

Being honest, I don't even like kicking afkers - they basically just get a free pass to queue up again and do the same thing over and over. :/ The only way kicking works out is if they get notorious enough on a Data Center that they're immediately removed every time.

...Because it doesn't matter unless the majority of the party is AFKing. The instances are miserable with all of the cutscenes. There's virtually no DPS check (maybe on Ultima Weapon and it's extremely generous, even at the time). If you pull the bosses immediately, people are given the option to jump into the sealed area. This is especially nice if you happen to have a tank, a healer and a DPS all skipping cutscenes and pulling immediately.

5 or 15 minutes need to pass to initiate a vote kick to begin with, depending on the instance. I think for MSQ dungeons, it's 15 minutes.
