    And even if FF14's system doesn't implement such restrictions its about 100x easier for 1 troll to afk/chest farm/harass/etc a DF without a vote kick system then for 3 trolls to rally together just to abuse such a kick feature so its a risk I'm willing to take.
    Here's the thing about that. Wouldn't that defeat the entire purpose of implementing a Vote Kick system if a 3 man premade party couldn't kick one person?

    Well in a 4 man dungeon it would likely count as a kick. But that's where the cooldown steps in. Everytime you kick some one in a single day you have to wait longer before you're allowed do it again. In WoW the cooldown ballooned to something like 8 hours after the 3rd-4th kick in a short time frame. So such trolls wouldn't be able to pull their pranks for long. After that its a matter of the Moderators doing their job and punish people reported for abuse.

    Anyways I stick to my point that its infinitely easier to abuse a game without a Vote Kick system, as it only requires the actions of one person and there are many more ways they can do so than a vote kick can be abused.

    EDIT: Now that I think of it 3 trolls could already harass people with the DF system. They could just enter the dungeon and go AFK, or pull the first big fight/boss then leave group, etc.
