Kicking people isn't just about you but also about them.

I was kicked from an expert roulette like a month ago. Load in, Grand Cosmos. No new player message. Tank stands there at the first pull. A dps and I (on whm) kept going because like... honestly who does that? It didn't even occur to me that the tank wasn't still running.

Anyways, tank doesn't come to me and he dies. We finish everything off because the dps who stayed back ran to me after the tank died. Tank respawns. A similar situation with the second pack with us all kind of meeting in the middle between the big hall with the two sword guys as and the pack of floating enemies.

Was kicked as we approached the boss. Got a /tell from the good dps right after that they bailed after I was kicked. We proceeded to queue together for expert again, got a normal tank and cleared faster than we likely would have if we'd still been in that first group.

Our playstyles were different. Them kicking me meant neither of us needed to compromise on how we wanted things to go.

I'm not saying there aren't malicious kicks out there but I don't consider that to be one. I may think that tank is an idiot for single pulling but I don't fault him at all for kicking me. We didn't match up and frankly I wouldn't have let him single pull if I'd remained in that instance. Instead of that being a confrontation it's resolved nice and quick with no harsh words.
