I just got troll-kicked in Praetorium

[Brightshadow]

I was with Siete yesterday in that party, and I do agree he was vote kicked unfairly. Nobody said anything and the kick window just popped. When I asked why they booted him nobody answered. He was indeed troll kicked.

And half the party was like watching YouTube not even getting magitek robot etc.

I definitely think you should report them at least the person who did the vote kick should get a temporary ban.

It's possible they kicked you for "play style" reasons. You might've been pulling abysmal numbers and didn't mesh with their play style (aka caring about their rotations and speed of run). While it hurts my brain thinking that some people care about a level 50s rotation, there are people out there like that. It's been confirmed/said by the devs that a clash in play style is a legitimate reason to kick someone from a party, so if that was the reason you might not find justice. This also applies to someone who likes fast runs and gets pissy at people who don't. The party can kick that pissy person because their play styles don't mesh.

A couple of weeks ago I was in a MSQ roulette in Praetorium. Four players from a specific server were AFK all the way up to the Magitek armor and when a couple of us commented on that thinking we should kick them, a 5th player from the same server said "we don't care, we're from the same FC so you should think about that". Obviously the group had queued specifically to mess with people so I abandoned the group once we got out of the armor rather than risk wasting more of my time carrying their AFK bodies just to get votekicked at the end. Hopefully the other two in the party also left the group once I gave them the free pass out.

Fortunately, that sort of thing tends to be very isolated. Maybe the OP ran into the same group of bads I did (we're on the same data center).

Oh boy it's really you!
Did you get to finish your run in peace, at least?

It's a dog eat dog world. If you see someone afking or in this case, being lazy with no reason or warning, get that vote dismiss started first is all I can say.

When it transpired that people were not contributing to the instance, did you try call them out on it and therefore they felt vindicated into kicking you for what they might have felt like was a justifiable reason?

I never named anyone personally.
All I said by the time we got to the magitek armor was "Oh well, half the party is AFK anyways" and jumped into the armor with Brightshadow who posted up there and other two guys and just kept going.

Yes, I finished was a very quiet run after you left.

You should report them, the GM should be able to find out more information, the run was around 10:30 - 11:22PM EST

[Thamorian]

Well we found out you got kicked for no reason from Brightshadow, at least as in game chat shows, but as far as reporting goes, if no one harassed you using in game chat, odds that GM take any action is like 0.0001%. SE has said difference of playstyle is a valid reason to kick and since nothing was said, there's not really anything for the GM's to go on. Also it was MSQ roulette, so 3 people in the party besides the one that initiated the kick would of had to have pressed yes for the kick to go through.

I would not bother reporting them. In my 6 years (and 6 days^^) here their response was 100% "suck it up, mate".

Is that so? Maybe you've gotten unlucky, I reported someone once for being verbally mean to me
during 3.0 AST time with this DRK when I couldn't keep up. The GM was incredibly sweet to me
and told me not to let him ruin my day and enjoy the expansion.

I say report them. We can't have people abusing this feature all the time.
Maybe a strike or two on their account will teach them a lesson.

I did, and got a nice reply from the GMs supporting me emotionally.
That was nice for a change.
I hope I don't go through this again, and I hope most whoever did this at least gets a warning so they NEVER do that again.

So you are able to answer those questions then yes you "can"report them, will anything happen who knows and being as your asking if you can report said players one could only assume you are doing this as some means of revenge or something, and that just opens up another can of worms since you really will not get the satisfaction or validation you are seeking. Also please do not say it is for fairness or whatever, since if that was the case you would have reported them without even asking if you can.

You do you man, rooting for you.

Not sure why this person seems to be giving such snobby replies.

You should be able to report what you believe is abuse of the vote kick system. I've been in MSQ runs where I have seen a kick vote popup for "afk" when the person hasn't been afk at all. Although rare, people do abuse the system and there should be a way to report for this. When range DPS are waiting upwards of 50 minutes for the MSQ roulette and you get vote kicked right before the end of the run for doing nothing wrong, that's pure garbage of a system.
