"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[ZephyrMenodora]

Difference of play style is a valid reason and gms use that reason. Like it or not, it’s good enough.

If I'm ever vote kicked for "difference in play style" - I will report and let you know how true that is.

Fortunately in game I'm always willing to try and compromise on requests, so hopefully I never personally have to deal with this. Some anecdotal reddit comments have suggested that the GMs do not view "difference in playstyle" to be enough today, and will investigate vote kicks for reasons like you suggest you'd use it for. Again, a more recent rule against this is specifically laid out in the more recent document.

Here is one such comment from a reddit thread in 2019 about whether "difference in playstyle" is still valid:
====

I was vote kicked earlier today because the healer didn't like that I picked up 2 extra adds (the big dragons near the broodlings in The Aery) a long the way as the tank. I was literally level 55, so at level for the duty, and leveling my class. I got a very different response from the GM call that I made, after suddenly being kicked out of the duty mid-pull, than the one in that older thread so it's really not the end-all-be-all of how the GMs feel and I think people need to be aware of this. The support desk message I received talked about it being "possible abuse of the vote dismiss feature" and they also said "we acknowledge that there is still a possibility of this tool being used as a Grief Tactic.", they asked for more specific details, names, date/time, and anything that was said. I just got confirmation that they have enough to start an investigation, "in accordance with our policies", into abuse of vote dismiss and griefing tactics.

If you want to provide actual evidence that "difference in playstyle" is still valid, and that GMs will ignore the very document they released, I'd be interested to see it.
