"Vote Kick" is coming!

[Brises]

The way it works now, when a df group has a mix of players with different experience levels (like it always does), usually when things don't go perfect, the impatient ones will simply leave. With a vote to kick system that allows players to initiate a vote for any reason, that will change. If it's a simple majority, any 5 members can vote someone out for something as simple as dying on the first boss. People are entitled to play the game they paid for regardless of how good they are. And the df exists for them. The ability of other players to prevent someone from participating in a dungeon should be extremely limited.

ZOMG THIS PERSON IS RUNNING IFRIT WITHOUT A RELIC WEAPON! *vote to kick*

You know some people would do this.

On the Dev tech (jap coverage) they already specified that it can not be used to simply kick players because you do not like them. The vote is intiated, has to be agreed on by all players, for afk players, which then have to respond and their character has to be within such a distance of other players.

Keep in mind they can submit a abuse report so abusing it can result in ban or penalties as well.

If vote kick is the only adjustment to duty finder and dungeons, its just going to make the problem worst. Really looking at the overall system, this is the least needed thing atm. The biggest problem with the duty finder is "join in progress", simply put its not worth it, you spend nearly as much time looking for a group in progress to join an empty or near empty dungeon that usually is missing a healer or tank that have already been waiting 30+ minutes for one. I finally got to the point that I don't even bother clicking the join in progress button cause 9/10 times it ends up being a fail for setting me up with a group. So now we already have this system where its hard to find extra members to replace someone who may of d/c'd or quit, but now we are going to add a method to remove members on the whim, ya that's going to help.

What we need is when joining in progress be able to see things like time left, how many are there already (like the duty status shows) and the option to continue waiting. Inside people need to have the option to wait or re-que with higher priority and of course simply leave. If they choose to wait, then for some sorta set time 5-10min they can't leave, god I don't know how many times I joined to see ppl running past to leave. Giving those forced to stay in for a set time and showing those trying to enter whats left would make "joining in progress" worth checking.

oh no... looking that the endgame attitude of this game...
this is really the least thing we need. As mentioned already in this thread, it will most likely result into abused kicks and will not hit the real AFKers.
It's like they really wanna push the elitists even more and separate the newbs from the super high pros....

To be honest, if I'm in a group giving me a hard time for watching cinema scenes or some other form of actual "abuse" I'd ask them to vote kick me.. I don't want to be in that group anyway...

The people who are incapable of policing themselves are the ones who need to be policed. Votekick hopefully will tone down a lot of the bravado that comes from both sides, by which I mean elitists who scream at newbies and ignorant newbies who refuse to listen and instead spout profanities.

As a tank and a healer who queues CM/AK/Pr multiple times daily, I have across many players on both sides of the spectrum that will have to adjust their behavior or face getting kicked from groups. In the end, nobody wants to play with someone that is unpleasant. Most players can tolerate a humble newbie but will instantly flip a table at an ungrateful one.

I hope VK will be disabled if there's a first timer or if someone has never completed that dungeon. That way it will be use solely for the means of kicking douches. Else, please also provide us with Recount together with VK. I've been waiting to kick all those geared idiot dpses that probably does same damage as tanks my whole FFXIVARR life.
