    Please stop demanding removal/rework of Vote Abandon

    Honestly, how hard is it to communicate with the party/alliance before initiating and casting lots?

    Vote abandon requires a Lesser Majority vote (Initiator +2 in Light Party, Initiator +4 in Full Party)

    If you are going to Vote Abandon, at least take a minute or two to discuss if it is actually needed so that you don't have people throwing a temper tantrum on the forums because they voted no and still got the instance ended...

    The Vote Abandon function has been added, making it possible to abandon a duty without penalty if the following conditions are met:

    Light Party
    Two players (not including the initiating player) must vote Yes to disband and end the duty.

    Full Party
    4 players (not including the initiating player) must vote Yes to disband and end the duty.

    Alliance
    13 players (not including the initiating player) must vote Yes to disband and end the duty.
    * Updated 01/22/2014

    1. While in a duty, open the Duty Finder interface under Duty on the main menu, then select Vote Abandon.

    2. All party members will be presented with a window to vote. If the majority votes Yes within 30 seconds, the duty will be abandoned.

    The reason people want it removed or reworked is because no one will discuss it and considering how many trolls go into CT, you're asking for the impossible.

    If there is a problem with something, however inconsequential it may seem to you personal, why exactly shouldn't it be changed?

    I agree, asking for it to be completely removed is foolish, especially when we asked for it, but it could certainly do with being reworked. What possible reason against having it reworked is there? It can be made better, most things can...

    The people who vote no, but still get kicked out, do not like how it kicks them out. That is the only problem I see with it, and the solution is simple; if the same number of people vote, the initiator gets kicked with no downtime, and everyone else is free to leave, with no downtime, if they so wish. Personally I've had no problems with the feature yet, but I can see it being annoying to get kicked out; I certainly don't want to do Bone Dragon/etc again just because over half the alliance wanted to leave, when we're wiping to King Behemoth because they suck. I've had plenty of Crystal Tower runs where a whole party ends up as replacements and it turns the run around. Only possible issue with it working like that is that, after someone leaves they may end up in the same party again, but I've had this happen to me plenty of times currently, so it wouldn't be a new problem but maybe a more prominent one after such a change.

    Do trolls actually discuss something before they actually troll? Nope.

    Four for full party is way too low. Require at least 6 and I have no complaints.

    trolls discuss among their selves. i ended up in a troll party once....the party chat really shows how horribly childish and immature they really are. we're talking about some super special people here...

    do you really think that if they want to troll they need the vote to abandon?

    There are far better ways to troll than using Vote Abandon which isn't exactly subtle.

    As for the feature itself.. SE can't win.. they give the players what they ask for (and Vote Abandon was requested I'm pretty sure..) and people still whine. -_-;

    Unfortunately SE needs to look at this from the "it will be abused" perspective, same as with vote kick such that you can't initiate that now when there is loot in the pool. Maybe at some point they'll figure that out.
