WARNING: DO NOT add a kick / boot feature.

[Amberion]

Having been through the various kinds of idiocy in FFXI for so many years ("Arrowburn/Manaburn/TPBurn only", "lol[insert misunderstood job here]", "R/M/E/D weapon only", among other messed up standards fed to wannabe elitists by BG), I will stand by the Duty Finder system. The flaws can be addressed as time goes on.

The case against the vote-kick system seems sound, but I'd like to see something that holds people accountable for actions that have negative effects on the party.

Misunderstood job? S-E is completely crap at balancing classes. How long ago was it they "balanced" rangers? Only time you see them now is if they decided to get off the dust of the gear only. BLM has gone from the best endgame class, to arguably the second worst.

In this game they have a decent balancing. But with new content and gear, I bet we will see jobs pulling ahead or get left behind.

Anyway, for the vote system. It will always carry good and bad things with it. But as with everything else in the game, it's up to the players of how it will be used.

At least you aren't sitting on the worst. Being a RDM main hurts, you don't even know. (Although, you guys are more like third because THF)

I am perfectly okay with a votekick system. I still don't understand why people rely on the Duty Finder at all for endgame content since you really should be pulling from your FC for that sort of thing, but if you are going to do so than votekick is almost necessary for when you get uncooperative or, for lack of better wording, bad players. I don't use the DF much, but I know from experience that spamhealing healers or a tank that can't hold hate at all can drive a dungeon down even if everyone else is on their A-game.

I have no idea what you mean by this. BLM is a great class for endgame if geared and played well. In almost everything I do endgame or otherwise my BLM will parse higher DPS than any other class except other BLMs with better gear and bards.
